Our trip was everything we expected and then some. Our Captain Ceaser and First Mate Gustavo were incredible. These two guys hustled to put us on fish and to keep lines in the water. I do a little fish guiding in the states and these two guys did not let my expectations down. We paid for a 4 hour trip that was very reasonable in price, but we caught a lot of fish for the amount of time our lines were in the water. The communication from Don Chingon Charters was perfect as well. They responded to all concerns and questions immediately after emails were sent. We also used Don Chingon for our hotel shuttle for the airport and other trips in town as well. They were always punctual and greeted us by first name. This charter service does it right on everything they do. Thank youTravis (owner) for such a great experience. We even stopped on the way back for a refreshing swim.

Went on this trip with my 80 year old father and my girlfriend and brother. We did s 5 hour trip and they continuously Tom’s us how we needed to do more time to get the “big fish” and that we shouldn’t expect much from such a short trip.
I have done a few dozen fishing charters from costa rica to Alaska in my life and wasn’t enjoying their BS. The continuously talked about us tipping them and every time we had a fish on the line they would say “big fish big tips”. It got very annoying.
They were pretty rude to my father and girlfriend when they lost a fish on the line. They are novice at this and needed some help. We caught about 8 fish but we all left feeling annoyed and regretted the experience.
Most likely you’ll catch some good fish, but I don’t really want my family around these people.

We came down for a wedding from California, and myself, my father, and father-in-law decided to take a day out with Don Chingon fishing Charters. We had an epic day the captain (Felipe) and his two deckhands were amazing! We caught so many fish, different species of fish and had a great time the whole trip. The experience was seamless from the start. I had reached out to Travis and he was exceptional with making sure everything was taken care of leading up to the trip. Explained to me in detail of how to best arrange getting to the marina and boat. In the first hour we hooked into a large white Marlin, from there on it was fish after fish. From Bonita, to amberjacks, wahoo, barracuda, grouper, and many more. The whole crew worked hard to get us on the fish and it definitely showed and payed off. We recommend taking a trip out if you ever have a chance with Don Chingon, and when we return to Cancun we will be sure to book another trip.

We had an amazing time fishing with Travis! He is originally from Texas before moving to Mexico so he speaks perfect English. He and his first mate Caesar knew the perfect spots to catch the big fish!
In our short four hour trip we went off shore (which I didn’t expect) and caught a huge Wahoo, black fin tuna, red snapper, along with trigger fish!! We caught way more then we were expecting and had so much fun!
Travis was great with communication. He kept in touch via IMessage and even let us move our fishing trip to another day that had better weather (less choppy). He was waiting for us on the dock when we arrived and was ready to go.
Travis and the mate filleted all the fish for us and gave it to the restaurant at the dock so we could eat our fresh fish for lunch. Travis and Caesar went out of their way to make sure we had an amazing experience. This fishing trip was definitely the highlight of our trip and we can’t wait to go out with Travis next time we are in Cancun!

Terrible is an understatement. First he rescheduled because the boat we booked had motor issues. Then that boat wasn't available so we moved days. The day of the trip, his ride service didn't show. After calling and texting multiple times he finally responded via text that the first vehicle had a flat and was sending a second. 10 minutes later he said that one wasn't coming either. I tried calling and he wouldn't answer, he would just text and send a location of the boat. At that point we realized this was not what we signed up for. I don't think he even owns a boat or is in Cancun. After further research, all of his stories on Instagram appear to be fake accounts. I requested my deposit back. Not surprisingly, I have never seen it.

My trip was perfect. Great instructions and directions made logistics simple. Captain Cesar was the best…experienced and skilled at fishing these waters. If you want to fish Cancun…fish with these guys!

I am trying to cancel a charter online and cannot get an answer from any of the emails or my original booking email or facebook messenger. I am not coming to Mexico because of the coronovirus and want to cancel within the one week window per policy. How can I do this? Also cannot get phone number to work that is on the website.

Hi there! Yes we can definitely help with that! However it is important to check with your airlines and countries customs on the guidelines for transporting fish. But we are happy to help!
