Our prices are for the private boat rental (not per person) and include boat ride and gasoline, services of the Captain and crew, fishing and snorkeling equipment, bait & tackle, fishing license, insurance, drinks (water, coke and beer), cleaning & filleting, and all taxes and fees. Tip is not included, but appreciated! Where is the meeting place? Departure is from the dock at 14th Street in downtown Playa del Carmen. The meeting place is easily accessible by taxi and walking from downtown or along the beach. If you would like to make travel arrangements with us, please specify ahead of time. What are the departure times? Departure times are early in the morning or early afternoon, upon availability. We are flexible with departure times and will try to adjust to your vacation schedule. What should I bring? We recommend bringing sun protection and (biodegradable) sunscreen, a towel, and your camera if you choose. There is limited storage aboard to keep personal things dry, so we recommend bringing just the necessities and not to carry large bags. What can I do to prevent seasickness? Seasickness is one of the biggest disappointments that can happen during a fishing trip. It is always sad for both guests and crew to have to abort a tour due to illness and refunds won't apply. If you worry about getting sea-sick, please take motion sickness medication ahead of time or apply the ear patch one night before the trip. Make sure you ask and purchase medications with your local pharmacist back home, since your options in Mexico are limited. Weather and ocean conditions can always change, so it's better to be safe than sorry! Are children welcome on the boat? Children ages 6 and over are allowed on the fishing trips and ages 10 and over for snorkeling and spearfishing and must be accompanied by a parent at all times. Children must be of age to understand the directions given by the Captain and boat crew for safety purposes, so we ask that you please respect this policy. What happens in case of bad weather? If there are adverse weather conditions or the port is closed on the date of your reservation, we will call you that morning to confirm cancellation, so it is important to provide us with your hotel and room number when you check in. If we have to cancel your fishing trip and are unable to reschedule for another day, we will refund your reservation fee. What can I expect to catch? Fishing seasons vary depending on the time of year. Please keep in mind that this sport is called fishing, not catching, so even with the most experienced and knowledgeable crew aboard, there is never a guarantee that you will catch your trophy fish. What do you do with the fish we catch? Our company prides itself on ocean conservation and using catch and release methods for trophy fish such as Marlin, Sailfish, and shark. All other species are yours to keep and can either be filleted by your boat crew or taken to a nearby beach restaurant to enjoy with your group for a reasonable price per person.
