Sport Fishing from Akumal: How It Works
Akumal is the closest town to a real sportfishing marina on this part of the coast: Puerto Aventuras is about 15 minutes away, or 20 minutes if you are staying at the far end of the Akumal hotel zone. Small panga boats do go out from Akumal bay itself for short inshore trips, but for a yacht with a cabin, a head, professional tackle and the range to reach the blue water, Puerto Aventuras is where you board.
We run round-trip transport from Akumal to the marina at extra cost — usually around $200 USD round trip depending on your hotel, with Suburbans available if you want something more comfortable. The fishing is the same as in Puerto Morelos and Puerto Aventuras: sailfish, blue and white marlin, mahi-mahi, tuna, wahoo and kingfish offshore, snapper, grouper and barracuda over the reef.
