Don Chingon Charters

There are not enough words to describe Travis, Cesar, Luis and this company!
1- They will be 100% honest with you, even if it means they lose your business, they want to make sure you are getting bang for your buck, and not interested in screwing over American tourists.
2- they go above and beyond, answering every question, no matter how big or small
3- they are HUMANE. We caught two sharks, they were very clear about the rules, if we had no intent of having the shark shipped home, it would not be taken out of the water at all, it would be reeled in as close as possible for a picture, and cut free. Also, we decided we did not want to take our fish home… you know what they do with them… they take them home and divvy them up, to other local families, especially those affected by the pandemic and poverty… what a great use!!!! Some fish for sport and to eat, and that’s great, but the fact that for those like us, who like fishing but won’t eat the fish, it’s awesome to know that they use the fish in a way that will help and serve others.
4- SO MUCH FUN! We had a blast! We were laughing while learning so much about the area, the fish!
5- we knew we were SAFE!! Travis went above and beyond to ensure that we would get to the docks safely and get home safely!
6- we were on fish in a heartbeat! This was our second time deep sea fishing. The first time, we booked with a travel company, got screwed out of $600, and were sick the whole time. Never again. We will never go anywhere besides Don Chingon ever!
7- we had some time left, and they even offered us a chance to snorkel- they make sure you get the ABSOLUTE MOST out of your time!

If you stay in ISLA- they will make it work! If you stay in Cancun, they will make it work. Book Don Chingon, you will not regret it! Oh and tip your captain and first mate… they make the magic happen.

Thanks guys, we will be back in 2023!

We recently took a trip with Captain Roberto and crew. All I can say is WOW. What a top notch crew this is. From the moment we stepped on the boat I knew we were going to have a great day - and I wasn’t wrong. Their professionalism did not go unnoticed. As a boat owners, we are very particular about the vessel. We felt safe at all times and the boat was immaculately maintained. I did a lot of research prior to our trip and am so glad we went with Don Chingon Charters. I would without a doubt, recommend them to anyone! Our 2 boys are already asking to go back!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a former waterfowl guide and someone who has worked around the outdoor industry for years in the past…I can’t find a single reason not to fish with this crew. We had less than ideal conditions for fishing but our guide Cesar still put us on fish!! He made sure we felt like we were part of the action the entire time. I have fished with many charter services and the customer service with Don Chingon was unparalleled. We even took a fish we caught back to a local restaurant at the dock and it was prepared for us right then. Truly a great experience all around! We also used Don Chingon for a trip to Isla Mujeres and it was most definitely a trip to remember. Everyone on the boat was taken care of like a king! We will definitely be back and look forward to the next time we get to tighten lines with Don Chingon!!

We had an amazing time fishing with Travis! He is originally from Texas before moving to Mexico so he speaks perfect English. He and his first mate Caesar knew the perfect spots to catch the big fish!

In our short four hour trip we went off shore (which I didn’t expect!) and caught a huge Wahoo, black fin tuna, red snapper, along with trigger fish!! We caught way more then we were expecting and had so much fun! His boat with well equipped with everything we needed and he had nice rods/reals.

Travis was great with communication. He kept in touch via IMessage and even let us move our fishing trip to another day that had better weather (less choppy). He was waiting for us on the dock when we arrived and was ready to go.

Travis and the mate filleted all the fish for us and gave it to the restaurant at the dock so we could eat our fresh fish for lunch. Travis and Caesar went out of their way to make sure we had an amazing experience. This fishing trip was definitely the highlight of our trip and we can’t wait to go out with Travis next time we are in Cancun!

Captain Martin took us out for the best 4 hours of fishing I’ve had in Mexico! We fished for barracuda and caught 10 good sized fish. He also stopped by a ship wreck and we took a cool dip for a couple minutes and snorkeled. Highly recommend.

AMAZING!!! We caught 25 fish today with Capt Oscar and his incredible crew! We caught two beautiful sailfish, a dorado, a bluefin, snapper, triggers, and a bunch of amberjacks… all in 6 hours! They took care of all our needs, the boat was in great shape, and we always felt catered to. Capt Travis also made sure we had all the details covered prior to the trip. Highly recommend this crew and Don Chingon Charters.

The wife and I went out on a 4 hour Trip during our vacation with Don Chingon charters with a Recommendation from a friend. Getting a reservation was simple and straitforward and communication was available if needed. They made sure to get us transportation from the hotel to the Marina where everything was ready to go when we arrived. Captain Cesar and his deck hand we both very attentive and made sure we're were as comfortable as possible. Didn't matter that it was a shorter trip we were on fish almost right away. including the Catch of the day the Mahi Mahi. credit to the captain there were other boats around but we seemed to be the only ones catching fish! We ended up with 12 fish. Overall amazing experience and to top it off when we got back to the dock we were given the option to have our catch prepared and cooked right at the restaurant I believe it's called Panchos. While waiting and having a few cold ones to unwind Cesar hooked us up with what is probably the best Ceviche I've ever had! perfect appetizer for fish that was cooked in a variety of different ways. like I said Overall the wife and I were extremely satisfied with everything. Highly Recommend Don Chingon to anyone looking for a fishing trip in Cancun. You won't be disappointed! Can't wait to come back and do it again!
