Anglers from far and wide visit Riviera Maya for a Puerto Aventuras fishing adventure, and it’s easy to see why! With a name that literally translates to “Port of Adventures,” the sheer variety of angling excursions on offer in this location is spectacular. Whether you want to head offshore for an epic battle, fly fish the flats, or plumb the depths of the reefs, you’ll find a trip that’s perfect for you.
You don’t have to travel far to reach the playgrounds of some big game fish. Hit the 12 miles of water located between Puerto Aventuras’s coastline and Cozumel island for Sailfish, White and Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Tuna species, and Wahoo. Looking to land that coveted “Billfish Grand Slam” of Marlin, Swordfish, and Sailfish? Opt for an 8-hour adventure. Newbies and families can try out deep sea fishing on a 4-hour trip.
If it’s tasty table fare you’re after, head southwest of nearby Cozumel Island to explore Palancar Reef. You’ll discover prized species such as Red and Black Grouper, Cubera Snapper, and Amberjack, as well as King Mackerel and Barracuda, and you can mix up your angling with a spot of snorkeling too. Most trips run between 4–8 hours, with 6 hours being the “sweet spot.”
Finally, if you’re looking to challenge yourself using light tackle or on the fly, there’s excellent flats fishing, too. Bonefish, Snook, Permit, Jack Crevalle, and Tarpon can all be hooked here. Trips start from 4 hours, and you can choose to spend anywhere up to a full day on the water.
