Just being on the dazzling blue water is unforgettable, but with the best fishing boats and crews in Cancun, prepare your self for a day of truly legendary sport fishing.
Deep-sea fishing
Luxury Cancun deep sea fishing expeditions are truly world-class in Cancun. Beautiful tournament-rigged fishing yachts will take you up to 40 miles offshore to troll Cancun’s best fishing grounds for the thrilling pursuit of big game fish like marlin, sailfish, wahoo, mahi mahi and tuna. If you want the big fish in Cancun, it’s deep-sea fishing you want to do.

Cancun has two major fly-fishing and light tackle fishing areas – the lagoons surrounding the Cancun Hotel Zone, and the unspoiled waters of Isla Blanca, legendary for its bone fishing. Expert English-speaking fishing guides can take you to the best spots near Cancun in high-quality 17′-18′ flat-bottom boat that can navigate even the shallowest water.
