Half-Day Bertram 35ft Sport Fishing Charter in Cancún — Up to 6 Passengers
Head out from Cancún aboard a 35ft Bertram for a focused, half-day sport-fishing charter. Cruise 3–20 miles offshore for marlin, sailfish, tuna, dorado and more with rods, bait and life vests provided.
The Experience
Before You Go
Go early
Departing at first light often means calmer winds and better trolling for billfish; the crew will advise the best windows.
Protect from the sun
Use high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and polarized sunglasses—UV exposure is strong on open water.
Stabilize your footing
Wear closed, non-slip deck shoes and keep a low center of gravity when reeling heavy fish to avoid slips.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
Even though trips are suitable for all fitness levels, the open Caribbean can be rolly—medicate ahead if you’re prone to seasickness.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

- •Green sea turtles
Conservation Note
Respect reef zones and follow crew guidance on catch-and-release; support operators who follow local regulations to protect coral and pelagic populations.
The reefs and waters off Cancún and Isla Mujeres have supported coastal livelihoods for centuries; modern sport fishing grew alongside tourism in the late 20th century.
