  • 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.
