Mahahual Sport Fishing: 6‑Hour La Diosa Del Mar Charter in Costa Maya

The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion‑sickness medicine
Six hours at sea can be rough for susceptible riders — take pills or patches before boarding.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect coral and your skin; apply before departure and reapply after swimming.
Hydrate and pack salty snacks
Tropical sun and boat breeze dehydrate fast; bottled water is provided but bring extras if you’re thirsty.
Wear polarized sunglasses and a brimmed hat
Polarized lenses help spot fish and reduce glare during trolling or sight‑casting.

Conservation Note
Local guides typically promote catch limits and selective harvesting; use reef‑safe sunscreens, avoid discarding plastics, and ask about catch‑and‑release practices for vulnerable species.
The Mahahual coast sits on the Mayan maritime frontier; small fishing communities have harvested reef and pelagic species for centuries, adjusting to modern sport‑fishing tourism in recent decades.
