1. Cancún

For easy-access, fun fishing, with trips available from watersports centers like Aqua World.
2. Isla Mujeres

Highly regarded by deep-sea fishing enthusiasts, with able captains who seek out amberjack, marlin, and more.
3. Cozumel

A base for many expert deep-sea captains who also offer trips to the inshore flats.
4. Puerto Morelos

Much lower key than the islands, but deep water close to shore means superb fishing.
5. Playa del Carmen

Many Playa dive shops also arrange fishing trips, especially in the sailfishing season (Mar–Jun).
6. Puerto Aventuras

The most luxuriously equipped fishing center on the coast. Hosts a big deep-sea tournament each May.
7. Boca Paila and Punta Allen

Fly-fishing and above all bonefish followers make their way to the remote fishing lodges along this road.
8. Holbox

A long way from the convenience of the Riviera, but loved by fishermen who like a really relaxing time.
9. El Cuyo

The one bar, La Conchita, is the place to go to find a boat and a guide. Shark fishing is a specialty of the north coast.
10. Río Lagartos

No well-organized facilities, but boatmen here will show you their fishing grounds as well as the flamingo lagoons.
