8-Hour Private Fishing Charter in Cancun

An 8-hour private fishing charter gives anglers a full day on the water and the most fishing time of our private charter options. The longer trip provides greater flexibility to travel offshore, spend more time trolling for seasonal pelagic species and bottom fish around reefs and other productive structure.

Depending on the season and fishing conditions, the captain can adjust the day based on where the fishing has been most productive. With eight hours available, there is more time to try different areas and fishing techniques than on the shorter 4-hour and 6-hour trips.

The trip takes place aboard a 31-foot Bertram and accommodates up to six passengers. Fishing gear, tackle, bait, Mexican fishing licenses, ice, bottled water, soft drinks, beer and sandwiches are included.

Is a 8-Hour Cancun Fishing Charter Right for You?

An 8-hour charter is a good choice for anglers who want the maximum amount of fishing time and the greatest flexibility during their trip.

The full-day format provides more time to reach offshore fishing areas and change techniques when conditions call for it. Depending on the day, the captain may concentrate on offshore trolling, bottom fishing or use a combination of both.

For anglers coming to Cancun specifically to fish and who want to make the most of a full day on the water, the 8-hour charter provides the most complete private fishing option.

What Can You Catch on a 8-Hour Cancun Fishing Charter?

The additional time available on an 8-hour charter provides greater range for offshore trolling while still allowing the captain to bottom fish when conditions or the season make that the better choice.

Depending on the time of year, offshore trolling can target sailfish, blue and white marlin, mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna and other pelagic species. Bottom fishing can produce grouper, snapper, amberjack, barracuda and other species found around reefs and offshore structure.

The species targeted and techniques used will depend on the season, weather, sea conditions and where the fishing has been most productive.
