Are you one of those people who like to have some adventure at sea?
Nothing Moby Dick or Jaws-like mind you, just a fun morning or afternoon sailing, swimming, snorkeling or fishing.
Being able to head out to sea is one of my favorite things about living in Playa del Carmen.
Some of the best snorkeling tours in the Caribbean can be found in the region, and Cozumel is considered one of the top dive spots in the world.
Moreover, the fishing around these parts offers something for everyone.
Here are five of our more popular fishing and boat excursions.
5 Seafaring Adventures
Setting sail over the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea has got to be one of the most awe-inspiring and fun experiences in the Riviera Maya.
Seeing the white sand coastline, the palm trees, feeling the sun beam down on your, and experiencing the motion of the waves makes you really feel like you’re on vacation.
Luckily for us, and for you, there are several fun aquatic excursions to help you get your sea legs (and lungs).
#1 Playa del Carmen Fishing
Fishing may not be something for everyone, but for those who enjoy the sport, the challenge, the adventure, and the adrenaline, there’s nothing better than loading up a few cold ones and grabbing the rods and bait to head out on a deep-sea fishing adventure in Playa del Carmen.
Dorado, wahoo, marlin, and barracuda are just some of the species you may be able to catch.
This is a great option not only for those who love to fish, but also for those who would just like to join along for a day sailing the beautiful Caribbean Sea.
