The calm bay waters between Isla Mujeres and Cancún, sheltered by the reef, hold far more life than most visitors ever discover: snapper, barracuda, jacks, grouper and mackerel. It's real fishing with the comfort of calm water — ideal for beginners, families, and anyone who gets seasick offshore.
Four hours aboard a private 30-foot boat with local guides who have spent decades reading these waters: they know where the fish are by tide, wind and hour, because they grew up fishing here.
The charter is private for your group (1-4 people) and includes fishing license, bait, full gear and water on board.
