Fishing With Ivan - Deep Sea Fishing Charter

Fishing with Ivan is a premier deep sea fishing charter operator based in the heart of Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Specializing in private charters aboard the "Papa Kees," a spacious 26-foot Mako hull, the company offers an intimate and professional experience away from crowded shared tours. The crew, led by Captain Ivan and including guides like Chino and Miguel, provides personalized attention for both novice and experienced anglers targeting species such as Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, and Tuna along the Riviera Maya coast.

The service includes all necessary equipment, bait, licenses, and safety gear, with options for 4-hour or 6-hour trips that can be combined with snorkeling excursions. A unique feature of this provider is their partnership with a beachfront restaurant where guests can have their fresh catch cleaned, filleted, and cooked on-site immediately after returning to shore. With over four decades of local cooperation history and consistently high ratings from travelers, Fishing with Ivan delivers a memorable blend of sport, hospitality, and authentic Mexican coastal culture.
