Can't decide whether you want to bottom fish or try your luck at deep sea sportfishing? No need! On these trips, you can start out trolling and test your luck. If you're not landing enough, you can switch over and try bottom fishing instead, or vice-versa if you like. Of course, if you're having success, you don't have to switch. You can keep right on trolling. We recommend a 6 hour trip or an 8 hour trip to give you ample time to do both. With a 4 hour trip, you're better off picking one type of fishing and sticking to it.
Our captains and crews are among the most experienced in Cozumel, participating in all the tournaments, and holding many trophies. The boat is private, just you and your crew will be onboard.
Deep sea sportfishing in Cozumel is all trolling. All of the big game fish are caught in essentially the same fashion, so you never know what might be on the end of your line! Bottom fishing is done by dropping line with hook, weight and bait straight down to the bottom while drifting offshore, sometimes with a pole, and sometimes with a hand reeled line in the traditional Mexican fashion.
Look for sailfish, marlin, mahi mahi, and wahoo during the warm spring and summer months. When the weather cools off, deep sea fishing will switch to yellowtail and red snapper, grouper, wahoo, jack, and barracuda. Bottom fishing will be snapper, grouper, amberjack, triggerfish, and other reef fish.
