What You Need To Know About Cozumel Fishing Charters

By David Perry


Visiting Mexico is a treat within reach for many Americans, especially because of the country's close proximity to the States. Cozumel is one of the top destinations in Mexico, and is especially known for its abundant fishing spots. If you want a feel for what it's like to catch and eat that fish, you should look into Cozumel fishing charters.

The type of trip you take depends on how long you want to be out on the water, and what your goal is. If you want to get some big game fish like blue or white marlins with the long, pointy noses, then you need to take a deep sea trip. This charter goes far out into the Caribbean and always has multiple lines out to increase the chances of a marlin, mahi mahi or even a barracuda biting on the line and getting pulled in.

If you want to catch some fish that you can really sink your teeth into later in a meal, then look no further than a bottom fishing trip. These stay in the waters closer to shore, but you can catch reef fish, triggerfish, and even red snapper, which you can use to make the Mexican delicacy known as ceviche.

The area around Cozumel is quite famous for its fly fishing, so even if you have never done it before and do not know how to cast the lines, you can go on one of these excursions and learn. People from your chosen charter company will be more than happy to help you learn so you can find out why so many come all the way here to fish.

Many excursions can be combined with snorkeling, as most of the vessels are equipped to be able to take you to great snorkeling spots. In fact, some tour operators will offer separate snorkeling trips if you don't want to fish. The combined trip is great for families who are split on which activity, so each person gets to do what they want.

You can choose from two different types of charters, including a public one where you will be paired with one or more other groups to save money. However, if you prefer to have alone time with just your group, you can certainly book a private charter that allows you to be the only ones on board, giving you breathing room and lots of extra space.

All you really have to do is show up for your trip at your appointed time with some sunscreen and sunglasses to keep the sun at bay. Everything else is provided for you, even the license you need to legally fish. All your lures, rods, bait, tackle and more are already on board and ready for you to use. There will be refreshments as well, usually including water and something alcoholic if you desire. If you book an all day tour, then lunch is usually included, and perhaps even some snacks. The deck hands will even clean and fillet the fish for you.

Lots of vacationers from local hotels and resorts are booked onto these trips, as well as cruise passengers who are only in for the day. Everyone has a blast, just be sure to book early since spots fill up quickly.
