We invite you to spend a day fishing the bountiful waters of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Come enjoy beautiful nature, relax on the water, and have fun chasing the many classy species that dwell in this area. You'll be in the safe hands of Captain Roberto Vargas, an angler with lifelong fishing experience and a huge passion for sport fishing. Join him and his crew in Puerto Morelos and embark on your next fishing adventure in Mexico!

The boat you'll use is a 35' Luhrs saltwater fishing boat with room to take up to 8 guests. Thanks to its twin 880 HP Yanmar engines as well as modern navigation electronics, it will get you to the fishing grounds in no time and you'll quickly locate where the fish is. You can use the onboard flybridge, toilet, and bed, as well as the multimedia system and ice-box. The onboard fishing equipment includes a fighting chair, outriggers, downriggers, and a livewell.

You can target King Mackerel, Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel, Red and Cubera Snapper, Black Grouper, Marlin, Sailfish, and more. The techniques you can use to reel them in are bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, and trolling. Sailfish and Marlin have to be released but you're free to keep other species you catch.

Captain Roberto covers you for everything you'll need from the fishing gear to snacks and drinks. Just be there on time and get ready for fun.

Book today and enjoy a wonderful day of fishing in Mexico!

    Mahi Mahi for everybody!

    PROMO HALF DAY on May 24, 2026 • 5 adults

    7th time fishing in Puerto Morelos and this boat, crew, and equipment finally met some expectations. Open cabin for seating, hard working crew, bait on hand before departure and as a bonus we caught some fish! May is Mahi Mahi ( Dorado) season. Yeah buddy!

    Awesome Fishing experience.

    Half Day Trip (AM) on February 17, 2026 • 8 adults • 4 children

    Our family of 4 adults, 4 kids had an excellent experience. From the Captain to the two deck hands working tirelessly to ensure we got a catch. Very friendly and accommodating even when all the kids got sick. We did well and they hooked us up with a local restaurant “Crazy Fish Tacos” that cooked our catch for the most delicious meal we had. we would definitely do this again!

    Caught Fish!!

    3/4 Day Trip on December 26, 2025 • 4 adults

    we’ve fished Cabo, Atlantic (FL), Cancun, Maui, Dominican Republic, and now Puerto Morales. Roberto and Victor had us busy with lots of variety. Amberjack, 2 different snapper species, king mackerel, Jack, and barracuda. easy to meet and get on the boat, then they cleaned the fish we wanted and we had it prepared in town nearby. 3 teens and adult all had a blast.

    More then expected

    3/4 Day Trip on May 20, 2024 • 1 adult

    Captain and mates were excellent. To notch boat and equipment. Asked me what I want to do before we left and made it happen. Highly recommended and from look of other charters that were out and boats around dockage it was the best in fleet. Even made fresh caught ceviche with one of the Mahi we caught. Spend the money take the trip you wouldn’t be disappointed. Thanks for a great trip. Nick

    Our 10/17/23 Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 17, 2023 • 3 adults

    Everything was great from these guys.. Communication on what kind of beer we enjoyed to letting us know what area they would meet us. The boat was very nice and the trip was awesome. Would we have liked to catch more fish ? Sure ! But that’s fishing! Highly Recommend them !

    Excellent charter

    PROMO HALF DAY on June 6, 2026 • 8 adults

    This was roughly my tenth charter experience, and was one of the best. They provided good directions for the taxi dropoff and had someone meet us there and took us to the boat, and also arranged the return taxi. The boat and equipment were really solid, especially for the reasonable price. We were out on a windy day with large swells but the boat and captain handled it well. Edwin, the mate, worked like crazy keeping the bait and gear in top shape. The captain and mate were both friendly, enthusiastic, and instructive, and both spoke decent english. We caught spanish mackeral, trigger fish, barracuda, and bonito. We mostly trolled due to the swells, but did some bottom fishing. My only complaint is it took several hours for the charter to get confirmed…maybe they were waiting for weather forecast? Overall, I would definitely book them again.

    More Barrcuda than a Heart concert

    Half Day Trip (AM) on January 2, 2026 • 7 adults • 2 children

    We had a wonderful trip on the Real Catcher. Rafael worked tirelessly throughout the trip to make sure we had a successful catch. He clearly knows his stuff! We were a group of 7 (ages 9 to 68), and everyone who wanted to had a chance to reel one in. Despite it seeming relatively calm on land, the boat did rock quite a bit once we got out in deeper waters. Definitely come prepared with something for seasickness, even if you’ve been fine on boats before. Rafael was very gracious about the one member of our group heaving over the side lol. The boat itself is nothing glamourous, but one of the nicer ones at the dock. There’s a restroom, a semi-shaded seating area, a fighting chair, and drinks provided. What else could you need? In the 4 hours, we caught some smaller bait fish and 4 large fish. After the trip, a staff member walked us over to a restaurant where they grilled the mackeral we caught. I would definitley recommend this charter others looking for a deep sea fishing experience.

    Best Captain and crew ever!!!

    3/4 Day Trip on April 24, 2026 • 2 adults

    The captain and crew were AMAZING!! They worked their tails off for us to have the best trip ever. We caught fish before we ever left the marina and Barracuda immediately after the reef. Absolutely, recommend these guys. Real Catcher ROCKS!!!!
