Fishing with Ivan in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico, offers personalized fishing charters and combination snorkeling tours with a focus on professional service and warm hospitality. With years of experience and a reputation for excellence, these charters are known for their reliability and attention to detail. The boat, Papa Kees, is equipped with top-notch safety features and conveniently moored in the heart of Playa del Carmen. As a proud member of the local fishing co-op established over 40 years ago, Fishing with Ivan is deeply rooted in the area’s rich fishing heritage.
The Riviera Maya’s waters provide exceptional deep-sea fishing opportunities, thanks to strong currents between the Yucatan Peninsula and Cozumel that create ideal conditions for a wide variety of game fish. The unique underwater topography allows access to prime fishing grounds within 10 minutes of departure. During the spring and summer months, guests can target Sailfish, Blue and White Marlin, and Mahi Mahi. From July to February, the focus shifts to Kingfish, Wahoo, and the year-round Barracuda. Speed jigging in fall and winter offers a more hands-on option, often rewarding anglers with Amberjack and Tuna. For a lighter experience, bottom fishing in shallower waters provides consistent action with Snapper, Grouper, and Triggerfish, making it perfect for kids or beginners.
Fishing with Ivan also offers private combo fishing and snorkeling tours, giving guests the chance to fish and explore vibrant coral reefs rich with marine life such as turtles and stingrays. These 4- to 6-hour tours provide the flexibility to mix fishing with snorkeling or simply enjoy a break on a secluded beach.
The 26-foot Papa Kees, powered by a 225HP Mercury outboard engine, combines safety, comfort, and performance. With shaded seating, a bathroom, and space for up to six guests plus crew, it’s perfectly designed for a day at sea. The well-maintained fishing gear and equipment ensure a hassle-free experience.
