Mexico Sport Fishing Calendar

Peak Season in the Yucatan

Sailfish season begins in March and runs through July. Sailfish and Marlin are migrating and the Playa del Carmen Fishing Charters are jumping. Don't wait to book your Mexico Fishing Charter because the best boats book fast !

Other abundant fish are: wahoo, dorado, tuna, kingfish, and barracuda. Best of all - we set our bait right as we exit the marina! No travel time.

Grand Slam  = a sailfish, white and a blue marlin
Double Grand Slam  = two grand slams same day
Super Grand Slam = grand slam plus a swordfish
