Your charter

Cast where the locals know the fish are running

Your group only. Ricardo as captain. Early-morning departure from Akumal into the open Caribbean. Not a tourist route from a brochure — he fished these waters as a child, long before charter boats arrived on this coastline. He knows where the mahi-mahi stack along the current edge at the blue-water break in summer. He knows the underwater structure where wahoo hold between thermocline shifts. He knows which mornings to push offshore and which days the big jacks are running inshore.

No fixed itinerary, no other groups on deck, no shared experience. Ricardo reads what the water is telling him that morning and adjusts accordingly. Depending on season and duration, you might hook mahi-mahi (the most consistent offshore target), wahoo (one of the fastest fish in the sea — the strike is unforgettable), yellowfin tuna, barracuda, or jack crevalle in numbers. Full tackle and live bait provided. Fish cleaning included. Your catch is yours.

What is biting

Trophies waiting in Akumal's waters

What you pull up depends on season, depth, and how far Ricardo pushes offshore that day. Consistent targets: mahi-mahi, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, barracuda, jack crevalle. Seasonal: sailfish, snapper, kingfish at the right time of year. Ricardo will tell you before you leave the dock exactly what is running that week — he hears it from the water every morning.

🗓️ Ask us when you reach out: we will tell you exactly what is running during your dates
