The Best Cozumel Deep Sea Fishing Charters

By Essie Osborn


One of the top places to catch fish in the Mexican Caribbean is located in Cozumel. The vast number of sport fish available make it a Mecca for anyone who would like to land the catch of a lifetime. You may want to do a little research to find the best Cozumel deep sea fishing charters for your trip.

Choosing the charter company you wish to use should be done prior to leaving for your destination. Reservations can be made online or by telephone. There is usually a deposit that will need to be paid when you make the reservation. Most are returnable if something happens and you cannot make the tour. When traveling on a cruise liner they are able to make reservations for a boat for passengers before docking with companies that they regularly work with.

If you choose to hire a private charter boat you may find that it is less crowded than other options. Most private rentals can carry up to six passengers plus their crew. The captain can assure that you will be back in time for departure if you are traveling on a cruise ship. A private charter may also supply you with more amenities than the larger boats.

When hiring a charter you can expect to be supplied with all of the gear needed for the day, a license allowing you to legally fish the coastal waters, and to have all taxes and fees taken care of for you. On the full day cruises you will be supplied with drinks and snacks as well as lunch. Most will clean and fillet your catch and many will prepare your catch for your dinner when you return to the harbor.

Some of the boats crew will also cook your catch for you once ashore if you would like. Another company has an arrangement with a local restaurant and will take you there to have your catch prepared as a full dinner. There is a small cost for this service at the restaurant but everyone in your party is allowed to join in the feast.

Many charter companies also supply snorkeling gear for those who want to split their day and enjoy both activities. The crews are well versed in teaching their clients how to safely participate in both activities. Arrangements should be made in advance if you want to do both because they take place in different parts of the ocean.

The best time to arrive if you would like to fish for marlin or sailfish is during the months between March and July. This is also the best time of year for tuna fishing. The year round fare can consist of grouper, barracuda, mackerel, snapper tarpon and many others. The variety of different sport fish available is because of the many different currents that flow through this area and the food sources they provide for the different species of fish.

The charter companies in this area want their customers to return for a second trip so they set their service levels high and are continually trying to improve on their service to the clients. They seek to maintain their reputation of the largest catches and the best service available in this Caribbean paradise they occupy.
