Captain Rick's has been featured in many saltwater fishing publications- Marlin, Saltwater Sportsman, Sportfishing as well as on the ESPN Channel. What most people do not know is that off-season fishing is often very good.


ESPN FEATURE SHOW - Presented Captain Ricks solely on Wahoo fishing. That day, we caught 8 wahoo and two tuna including four wahoo on at the same time. From August through February, we average 8 Sailfish in a half day trip - that is more than most fishing destinations during peak season. So you do not want to catch, but you do want to enjoy the Caribbean? Well, we offer numerous pleasure trips to some beautiful and private coves.

Puerto Aventuras, Mexico

Puerto Aventuras is an exclusive resort on the Mexican Caribbean Coast known as the Maya Riviera, 45 miles (72 kms) south of Cancun. This private and gated community is built around an impressive marina, home to dozens of luxury yachts, sport fishing boats and sailboats of all types.

It includes luxury condos and hotels, a golf course, tennis courts and numerous shops. There are also excellent Scuba Diving organizations where you can explore the superb reefs right outside the Marina as well as participate in PADI, NAUI and IANTD training. You can explore pristine caletas in a kayak, work up a sweat in the open-air gyms, have a massage, swim with the dolphins or simply relax.

Puerto Aventuras is nestled in a land that is a world unto itself. All the magic of the ancients and the conveniences of the modern age are alive here. Explore the mysteries of the Mayas, swim among a kaleidoscope of tropical fish, walk through the verdant jungle and of course FISH!. Spend your days floating lazily, sailing, snorkeling, shopping, sunning or just snoozing the day away.

Most people's idea of a perfect vacation includes fishing in crystal clear turquoise water, swaying palm trees, a beautiful beach and maybe a margarita. Puerto Aventuras offers all this and more. Imagine walking along our beautiful beach as the warm sand gently massages your feet and tiny fish dart across your path. Afterwards, you stroll over to the marina to dine alfresco under a canopy of bright stars. Later linger over coffee, or go for a moonlit dip. In the morning enjoy a cup of coffee on your private terrace and contemplate what, if anything you will do that day.

P.A. is close. It is within 15 minutes of Playa del Carmen, Xcaret, Xpu Ha and Akumal. It is within 30 minutes of XeI-Ha, Tulum, Sian Kaan and several cenotes. We are within 1 hour of Cancun, Cozumel, Coba and 3.5 hours from Chichen Itza, Izamal, Valladolid and Bacalar.
