Other popular types of fish like Barracudas, Tuna, Snapper, and Grouper can be caught year round. Fisherman make Cancun their home away from home because they can catch White and Blue Marlin, Dorado, and Sailfish.

There are several types of fishing in the Riviera Maya, from fly fishing to deep sea fishing with something for all fishermen of varying experience.

FLY FISHING – Fly fishing can be done using an artificial bait called a fly which is made out of animal feathers or hair. This type of fishing is done in shallow, clear waters, reaching starting at a foot deep. This kind of fishing can be done in the sea, lakes, lagoons or rivers. Bone, Permit, and Tarpon can be spotted in the remote saltwater flats and shallow brackish bays of the Mayan Riviera. It is advisable to seek help from the crew on board the yachts and get a seasoned guide who can take you to the best spots.

DEEP SEA SPORT FISHING – There is nothing more fun-filled and thrilling than reeling in the trophy of all fish, the sailfish, especially while you're sailing on the crystal clear waters. The Riviera Maya is a fisherman’s paradise with world-class sports fishing year round. For deep sea fishing, there are two types of fishing techniques, they are trolling and bottom fishing.

BOTTOM FISHING – If you're more of a bottom fishing person, look forward to groupers and a variety of snappers such as Mutton Gray, Yellow Tail, and Cubera. If you’re a beginner angler or are vacationing with one, you might end up getting bored with bottom fishing very fast. Often the sea becomes a bit rowdy thus making the bottom fishing pretty uncomfortable for the whole day. Be sure to ask your captain for advice if you’re opting for this type of fishing.
