Had a great early morning till midday trip, catching 6-7 species. Friendly guide who knows the right spots to fish. Nice boat and equipment!

If you're planning on fly fishing, bring your own gear.

I've tried them twice now, both with guide Jose. What's interesting is both outfits "Cancun Fly Fishing" and "Cancun Light Tackle and Fly Fishing" are the same thing. I've booked both and both times ended up with the same guide, Jose with same boat... etc.

The last trip, Martin supplied two rods. Once we got out on the water, we noticed the large eyelet on the rod was broken. So luckily we had the other rod. That rod's fly line was so bad it wouldn't shoot through the guides. Jose could see it as well. So he called the other guide and we met him out on the water and changed out the rods with an extra one he had. I find it a bit inexcusable to promote using the best equipment, to then get out on the water and be stuck with old junk that hasn't been well taken care of. The fly lines felt like they were 10 years old.

I'll note that Jose is super nice but was a bit limited on advice. Only tips were, "Cast to the mangroves". Over and over.

So my suggestions if you're planning on booking a trip is to use your own gear, and don't expect a whole lot of advice. But Jose and the other guide will find the fish. You just need to catch them!

I fish a lot. Noel is a hard working Captain. He worked hard all day and his customer service was great. He put us on over two dozen fish. I would fish with Noel any day. Highly recommend.

Jose is the man! He put me on a multitude of rolling tarpon and I was able to catch my first saltwater fish on the fly rod (as well as missing one in the 20+ pound range, which was my fault for not setting hard enough). He gave great direction as to where to cast (10 o' clock, 11o' clock, etc), put us in the right spots and was very patient and positive. Can't wait to come back next year!

Had a great day ???????????????? On the water with Jose. The gear ,the boat and the captain were all good. Jose was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. We landed ladyfish, jacks, a snook and almost a tarpon! ????????????????????

I went out with them today and I don't know where to start. I'd give them 10/5 if I could.

Noel, my guide, was awesome. He was super knowledgeable about the area, fishing techniques for different species, and was nothing but patient with me while I was figuring out the fly casting.

I also talked to Martin, the owner, before coming. He directed me to the best trip for what I wanted to do and I'm 1000% glad I listened.

I spent a month or so looking at different guides before I booked with these guys. I definitely made the right choice. I already booked a second trip with them while I'm here this time, and I'm going with them when I'm back next year.
