Among the many activities available in Cancun, fishing is one of the most popular. Here in Cancun, there are many different ways you can chose to fish! Fly fishing, bottom fishing and of course, you can just toss a line in the lagoon if you like, but the most popular is deep sea fishing!

Deep sea fishing is extremely popular. The large game combined with the fight and struggle to keep your catch makes deep sea fishing one of the most exciting sports you will find here in Cancun. This is how you will come to catch some of the most sought after fish that the Gulf of Mexico has to offer! Just 25 miles off the Cancun shore, you can fish for Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, Black fin Tuna and even Barracuda!

Those particular species of fish are what make deep sea fishing in Cancun so exciting. The female Blue Marlin can weigh up to 1,200 pounds and be up to 13 feet long! Imagine the fight it takes to reel in a fish that size! The Grouper fish can also be a challenge. Up to 200 pounds, this fish will test anyone’s strength and endurance!

As exciting as this sounds, fishing like this requires lots of equipment and expertise, but lucky for you, there are many companies available that rent everything you need in one all-inclusive price. Whichever company you chose, you are sure to find the best service. Most companies in Cancun have the same basic plans. You can chose a four, six, or eight hour fishing trip and either a private boat or you can share with another group of fishermen. These services usually come complete with transportation to and from your Cancun hotel and fish cleaning so your hotel restaurant can cook your fish anyway that you’d like! Some even offer an on-boat barbeque!

There are many companies to chose from and some might suit your needs better than others, so always talk with your concierge service to find out which company will be the best for you and to help you get the best deals and rates possible! Fishing on your Cancun vacation can be the one of the best and most exciting experiences that you will have!
