Cancun / Puerto Morelos
I thought I would share a
little more information about our new sportfishing location at Puerto
Morelos, in Quintana Roo State, Mexico, about 15 minutes south of the
Cancun International Airport. The all new, El Cid Caribe Hotel and
Marina facility is an extension of the world-famous, El Cid Mega-Resort,
in Mazatlan. Everything is literally new, the sportfishing operation,
the marina, the hotel, (300 five-star luxury units) and is located
on a white, sandy beach, midway between Cancun & Cozumel,
(approximately 20-25 miles in either direction).
 The sportfishing
operations and marina are under the guidance of General Manager
Mario Anzoategui, (Mario went to the Maritime College with
Geronimo Cevallos, the GM of the Marina El Cid, in Mazatlan)
and all of my back & forth questions have been very promptly
answered. He is an enormously responsive individual that
cares about your/our customer's satisfaction. Currently the
sportfishing fleet consists of four sportfishing cruisers,
a 29' Bertram, a 29' Californian, a 29' Phoenix and a 31'
Uniflite, all rigged with outriggers and downriggers, Penn
fishing tackle, twin diesel power, required safety equipment,
ship to shore radios, sparkling clean bathrooms & more....
More sportfishers will be added as the need requires. The
daily charter fishing rates are split into three different
hourly categories, 4-6 & 8 hour durations and the charter
rates are reflected below:
| CRUISERS |
SUPER PANGAS |
| 4 Hours $450.00 |
4 Hours $350.00 |
| 6 Hours $550.00 |
6 Hours $400.00 |
| 8 Hours $650.00 |
8 Hours $450.00 |

Charters are inclusive of boats, crew, fuel, Mexican fishing licenses,
all fishing tackle, rigged baits, beer, soft drinks, water, dispatch
fees, ice, value added taxes and round-trip ground transportation from
any Cancun and local hotels.
The sportfishers come well equipped, using Penn Senator 4/0's, with 30-40
lb. line, terminal tackle, down-riggers, outriggers and fighting chair(s).
Most of the blue water fishing is accomplished using rigged ballyhoo
as trolling baits. Electronics consist of Fish Finders, GPS navigation
and VHF ship-to-ship/shore radios on both, the cruisers and super pangas.
The distance to the fishing grounds is incredibly close and begins within
2 miles of the Marina entrance, allowing for much more fishing time for
each charter. All-in-all, we, expect this new addition to our charter
service to enhance sportfishing opportunities for our angling customers
traveling to the Cancun-Cozumel area. |
