Cancun and the peninsula of Yucatan that is often referred to as
"the privileged location on the natural Mayan Riviera for Sailfish migration"

It is in these waters off Yucatan where the big game fish love to lurk. Fresh runs of blue and white Marlin, Dorado, Sailfish, and Yellowfin Tuna tempt anglers all year around. View our sports fishing calendar below and game fish descriptions.

 Due to the unique topography, the area is virtually perched on the edge of an underwater valley. The sandy ocean floor plunges dramatically down into deep blue darkness, bringing the hunting ground for monster-sized game fish practically to the shore. Sports fishermen also praise the southern beaches of this area for their abundance of  Dorado, Wahoo, Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Red Snapper, Grouper, Spanish Makarel and other minor species. There are tales of the seasonal Marlin runs that offer up giants as large as a 500 pounds, "once you see that sail jumping out of the water, you're hooked".

Our boats can reach prime fishing territory and be running gear in less than 5 minutes. With over 500 species in the waters of the Mayan Riviera, there's fishing for every level, from the curious beginner to the serious professional. The best months for fishing and other activities are March, April., May, and June. For our location, enjoy the thrill of catching sailfish, marlin, or tuna when you visit Cancun. The experienced captain and crew will take you to all the right spots for an opportunity to hook the "big one". 

Inshore & Offshore Fishing options

The fishing opportunities in Cancun are exceptional with both inshore and offshore fisheries. Trophy Snapper, Grouper, Spanish Makarel and Yellowtail Jacks are available throughout the year inshore. Offshore species boast Atlantic Sailfish, blue and black Marlin, yellow fin Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo that have been caught on the fly rod, in this yet undiscovered destination. More details on our inshore & offshore fly fishing.

Your Deep Sea Fishing Day

Your fishing day begins usually about 9:00am, when you will be picked up from the dock to enjoy the exciting offshore fishing action. Our Captains who are fluent in English, are very  knowledgeable of the species that you are targeting. There is an optional transportation available for an additional charge, depending on the location of your hotel.

Boat Options

We offer a variety of boat options from 27’ pangas to custom ocean cruisers and 38’ yachts, all with the capability of getting you to the fish quickly and comfortably. More details on our boat sizes and onboard equipment. Pesca Maya Fishing Lodge implements a mandatory 'catch and release' policy on all billfish. We will be happy to photograph your catch so bring your camera. We can recommend several taxidermists should you like a replica of your trophy catch. Dorado, Tuna, Wahoo, and a variety of other species are available for retention, but all billfish are released.
