6 Hour Private Fishing Tour in Puerto Aventuras Riviera Maya
Description
This six-hour private fishing charter departs from Puerto Aventuras, a marina located 25 minutes south of Playa del Carmen on the Riviera Maya coastline. Designed for anglers of any experience level, the tour provides a clear and easy introduction to offshore and near-reef fishing using professional-grade rods, reels, tackle, and a dedicated fighting chair. The crew speaks English and guides you through techniques step by step, making the trip accessible to families, first-timers, and seasoned travelers seeking targeted species.
You’ll travel along the Mexican Caribbean’s productive fishing corridor, a region known for sailfish, marlin, mahi mahi, wahoo, grouper, and other seasonal species. The boat moves quickly from the marina to open water, giving you more active fishing time and less transit. Live bait, lures, and all required licenses are handled by the crew so guests can focus entirely on the action.
Between lines out, you’ll have opportunities to pause for snorkeling above colorful coral patches or to swim in clear, shallow Caribbean water. These stops break up the fishing day and offer a change of pace for younger travelers or casual participants. Fresh fruit, snacks, guacamole, chips, sandwiches, and ceviche or sashimi made from your catch are provided on board, creating a relaxed, local-style meal at sea.
The tour begins and ends at the same pier inside Puerto Aventuras. A simple check-in process and small-group format allow for a smooth departure with no confusion. Whether your priority is big-game excitement, light-tackle fun, or a comfortable day on the water, the trip combines expert guidance with the scenic beauty of the Riviera Maya coastline.
