Deep Sea Fishing - RM

[skadow]

Does anyone have any recommendation of a Fishing Charter Company in the RM area that they have actually used?

 

I found a bunch online ...but I am looking for some real recommendations.

 

Thanks Ladies! <3

My husband went through Aqua World, but they nobody on the boat caught a darn thing and they were sea sick the whole time. He goes deep sea fishing all the time, like 24 hour trips and he's never been sick before. Him and all his friends that went didn't have a very good time either, they said they were basically trolling (sp) the whole time.

 

Hope you have better luck then they did!

Can you share the ones that you found!?!?

 

My FI is getting a charter for him, his GM and both our fathers for the morning of the wedding.  I have been looking around to get some prices for our budgeting, and these are the companies we found so far:  (of course I don't know anything about the companies, so I would love to hear some feedback as well)

 

1. Capt Ricks -- I see this one pop up a lot -- http://www.fishyucatan.com/

I have not booked the trip yet, but I am going to do this in December. I have not found anyone that has actually used a charter yet, so I am going to wing it. I contacted Captain' Ricks and they got back to me that day and answered all my questions. They seemed very nice, ontop of things and quick to respond. Which is great because I HATE waiting for my Wedding Coordinator to get back to me. Below is his email.

 

Note, If you book in Decemeber or before 2011, He says you might get better prices. I dunno!

Yes, you should be able to book in January. We may raise prices next year so if possible, December may be better
