Must do!
Bring sun protection and Dramamine to be safe even if you don’t think you get motion sickness. We had an excellent time with Mauricio and Martin. They were extremely professional and had all the gear you could want. They educate you how to use it, and fish with you. They will ask what type of fish you’d like to try to catch (trophy fish vs keeper fish), so we did both trolling and line fishing. They have great stories and were fun to spend the afternoon with. We ended up catching 7 fish, and they filleted them on the ride back so we could bring it back to our resort for a special chef prepared dinner. Thank you Mauricio for a lifelong treasured memory!

Incredible crew - fantastic fishing for the family
Brilliant trip - crew were excellent and helped my 6 and 8 year old kids to catch some brilliant fish. As advised my wife and kids took an anti motion sickness tablet and they were fine. Thoroughly recommend the experience to anyone who would like to sample just how vibrant and full of life the Mexican carribean sea is! 10 / 10 - amazing - crew were superb and super patient with my wife and kids as it was their first time deep sea fishing.

Not worth it.
Pretty much rode around in circles for 3 hours and didnt catch a single fish. The captain was on his phone most of the time. He didnt even attempt to make it fun in any way or explain anything just boring and a waste of money. Not to mention they charge $400 for this service online and if you walk up to the dock there are boats that only charge $100 if that.
Response from the operator: We would like to clarify several important details regarding this review. The excursion was scheduled as a four-hour fishing trip. Approximately two hours into the trip, the woman who made the booking began feeling dizzy and personally asked the captain to return to the dock. The trip was therefore ended early at her request and out of concern for her comfort and safety—not because the captain was unwilling or unable to continue fishing. The captain had planned to take the group bottom fishing, where guests typically catch fish, even if some are small. However, the guest’s dizziness prevented the crew from continuing with that portion of the trip. The statement that someone at the dock offered to take the guests fishing for $100 is also inaccurate. There was no one at the dock offering this service. Although the captain may have briefly used his phone, he was communicating with other local fishermen to determine where fish were being caught and improve the guests’ chances of having a successful trip.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter – Puerto Morelos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter – Puerto Morelos cost?
+
Prices start at $399 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter – Puerto Morelos take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cancun is not rushed.
Is Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter – Puerto Morelos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 51 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter – Puerto Morelos?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter – Puerto Morelos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter – Puerto Morelos?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cancun can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter – Puerto Morelos start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cancun within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cancun?
+
On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Early Access to Chichen Itza with optional pick-up, Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cancun?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cancun?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
