Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya are a paradise of paradisiacal beaches and a place to enjoy all kinds of water sports. There is paddle surfing, kayaking, snorkeling and scuba diving, parasailing and sailing.

The 3 first class golf courses are another reason to come down from Cancun or Tulum to Playa del Carmen.

Visit and explore the Mayan culture in Tulum where the best preserved Mayan ruins in the world are located. Don't miss the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Booking which is the largest protected area in the Mexican Caribbean and occupies approximately 650,000 hectares along 120 kilometers from north to south, between Tulum and Felipe Carrillo Puerto. It is a fantastic natural park inhabited by more than 300 Species of birds and more than 1000 plants.

Fishing in Playa del Carmen requires a fishing license. Remember that Fishing charters usually already have a collective fishing license so you don't need to buy one if you are hiring a Boat.

You can buy a license for a day, a week, a month or a year at CONAPESCA. For more information visit Conapesca.

Depending on the Boat and the Duration of your Fishing trip, you will pay more or less for the trip. The Price for a 4 hour Fishing trip in Playa del Carmen with a small Boat is $275. A half-day trip with a 40-foot charter is about $650, while an 8-hour Fishing trip will run you between $1050. Of course, there are bigger Boats that are more expensive, but for that you also have more comfort.

What is included in the Price?

The Price usually includes the Captain, fishing tackle, fuel, bait and lures and licenses. In each listing we indicate if drinks and food are Included. Some Fishing charters also offer pick-up (free of charge) and transportation to and from the hotel. If your accommodation is far from the Boat, there may be a surcharge for transportation.

Once the Booking is made, the Captain will contact you to arrange the meeting point and departure time. In addition, we recommend that you contact the Captain a couple of days before the excursion to confirm the weather forecast.
