I booked a half day trip for 7, myself, my 4 sons and 2 of their friends. I have been on fishing trips all over including Cabo, Hawaii, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Bahamas, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and several other places but I have never been on a trip that didn’t bring enough rods for everyone on board. As I said, I booked a trip for 7 but they only brought 3 rods for 7 people. I was fine with not fishing, but my 20 year old and 9 year old love fishing and I had planned to just help my 9 year old anyway, but what ended up happening was 3 people fished while 3 sat and watched and then they would trade out every 20 minutes or so. We only caught 2 small fish all day and only had 5 or 6 total “bites” which I know is just how it goes sometimes but it was very disappointing for my 9 year old who was super excited about the trip. The guide and captain were friendly and seamed knowledgeable and I would recommend them as long as you only have a group of 3-4.

Hi Chad, we are sad we did ‘t acomplish you expectations. Yes, we do 3 rods at the same time because if we put more they will end tangled between them because of the current and wind. Aurelio (the mate) was also trying to hook a fish so you can bring it to the boat, unfurtunatly there were not many fish bitting. We have 4 rods for bottom fishing and 4 for trolling. Sorry we didn’t explain why it was only 3 people.fishing and the same time. We hope you can give us another chance in the future.
sincerely, -La Reina Crew.

We had a great family half-day experience with captain Gustavo and Aurelio. Our trip started off with deep sea fishing, where Aurelio prepared lures and bait using a very innovative technique. We then moved to more shallow waters and ended with some rock fishing. We left some time to enjoy an hour of snorkeling with kids and family at an amazing reef with sea rays and lots of tropical fish. In the meantime, Gustavo and Aurelio prepared a ceviche with our catch of the day before heading back to our point of departure. During the trip we had a fantastic view of the coastline of Playa del Carmen and the beautiful waters of the caribbean. I recommend this experience to everyone who enjoys fishing and wants to also provide a wonderful experience with friend and family. The boat is very well maintained, Gustavo is a great captain, and Aurelio a very experienced fisherman. The fishing equipment is also in good conditions.

My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Gustavo and Aurelio on La Reina during the morning of January 6, 2023. We caught and kept many fish both trolling and bottom fishing during our half-day trip. We had lines in the water a few minutes before 8:00 (our scheduled start time), and we already had a fish caught before we were even scheduled to start. Twice during our trip we caught 2 fish at one time, having 2 hooks/baits on the line - I have been on many fishing trips, but never have experienced that before…so fun. Both Captain G. and Captain A. were experienced, professional and kind. The boat was clean and well maintained and well handled by Captain Gustavo. The equipment and rigging and bait was well prepared and fully handled by Captain Aurelio. Booking was easy and communication responsive. I hope to be in Playa del Carmen again soon and would definitely book again with La Reina and Captain G. and Captain A. Thanks for a great trip!

Went on a 6 hours fishing and snorkling trip, family of 4, parents and 2 teen-daughters. Despite some sea sickness we had an amazing day at sea! Captain Gustavo and the King of fishermen, Aurelio made sure we had the best possible day and we felt safe during the entire trip! The catch of the day was a beautiful Mahi Mahi and the ceviche prepared by Gustavo and Aurelio while we were snorkling was the best meal during our 3 weeks here in Mexico. Our warmest most highly recommendations goes to La Reina Sport Fishing!
