My husband's bucket list has a GREAT BIG check mark on it now!…read more Thank you for the most amazing experience ! The crew was so informative and friendly! AND after an awesome fight , reeled in a SAILFISH and then , a very rare catch while trolling in the shallows we caught a GROUPER I can't express how INCREDIBLE AND EXCITING this was ! JUST BOOK THE FISHING TRIP! Fishing with Ivan is where it's at !

We want to thank you personally for a truly AMAZING EXPERIENCE ! This adventure will be with us for…read morea lifetime. Martin and Mike seriously made us feel so welcomed and we got to cross of 3 bucket list items while with them for an afternoon. They tended to us immensely and gave my boyfriend the most spectacular fishing experience of his life. I truly don't think anything will ever top this experience. About 20 minutes into the trip we hooked 5 Mahi mahi and reeled in 4. Then the lines went quiet for a little while and 20 minutes after we hooked a 200 cm SAILFISH ! My boyfriend reeled him in for 40 minutes and finally we brought him onboard and took a photo. It was seriously an experience of a lifetime. I personally reeled in a "Bonita" or tuna and it tasted so delicious sashimi style. Then, after this unbeatable fishing day to top everything off we went snorkeling and swimming with fish and sting rays. One of my bucket list items. Mike afterwards filleted and cleaned up our fish for us to take back to our resort and had the hotel "EL TEJ" make a delicious lunch for us. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to Mike and Martin the next time we are in Playa Del Carmen we will DEFINITELY be back for some more amazing fishing!

If you like getting on a boat and then I catching fish for five hours. This is for you. We went out…read morethey couldn't catch a damn thing. The boat had no snacks and just water and nasty sodas to drink. It was kind of an old dilapidated boat and the crew was an okay. They jammed eight of us on this boat and they only had four rods for bottom fishing and we didn't come close to catching a fish while trolling. No fish finder on the Captain Ricks. In fact there was no anything no live bait or anything other than a wheel I mean I don't know usually there's a depth finder at least. I don't even know if they're a life jacket on this thing I saw one life ring that's it

Did a four hour fishing excursion with some business clients. Previously I've done some deep sea…read morefishing off of a Boca Raton and also in Curaçao. Fishing in the ocean is something I really enjoy. You never know what you are going to catch it's a wild ocean under that boat. We had three amigos on our vessel which was a larger boat. The captain, a deckhand (baiting the lines) and the main guy working the rods. When we set out they asked us what we wanted to do some trolling or drop some lines? We said drop some lines. Overall it was the most successful deep sea excursion I've had the chance to experience. In our group of four one guy caught a 25-30lb wahoo, a 10-15lb king mackerel a couple of triggers but also we had around 5-6 snapped lines. The wahoo and the mackerel came fast right when we headed out. Then it was dead calm for quite a while. They guys on board were helpful and had a cooler of soft drinks. I asked if they had cerveza and one laughed and said no. It was a medium rough day out on the water but I'm pretty good with getting sea sick. No issues for this prairie sailor. One day I'll come back with a big one. A nice grouper, big barracuda or maybe a hammerhead or Caribbean black tipped shark! Overall the guys did a good job and I tipped them $140 USD for the three of them.
