We had a great experience with Captain Salatiel and his first mate Brandon! The morning started off with catching bait, then into deep sea fishing. The fishing action wasn’t hot at first up so he kept us trying out different strategies until we finally connected with a solid barracuda and a bonito! Brandon was always ready to help bait our books, take fish off, and do whatever else was needed to make the trip comfortable and a success. Overall a wonderful experience on our Playa del Carmen trip, and we’d go again for sure!

A great fishing trip with the Gardi crew and Captain Sala.
It was a beautiful trip with a great crew.
We caught a big baracuda and later smaller fish that we caught with bottom fish in a beautiful place on the sea.
Later we made a stop to snorkel at a beautiful reef with lots of fish. The equipment is included in the tour.
In addition, they showed us a hidden cenote near a beach.

The equipment is professional and the crew is very experienced! They are two brothers and their son. They are very friendly, dedicated and helpful.
The great thing is, one of the brothers speaks German!
There is everything on board what you need for a day of fishing also the beer ;)

Ein super Fischertrip mit der Gardi Crew und Captain Sala.
Es war ein wunderschöner Ausflug mit einer tollen Crew.
Wir haben einen grossen Baracuda gefangen und später kleinere Fische die wir mit Grundfischen an einem schönen Ort auf dem Meer gefangen haben.
Später machten wir einen Stopp zum schnorcheln an einem wunderschönen Riff mit vielen Fischen. Die Ausrüstung ist bei der Tour dabei.
Zusätzlich zeigten sie uns eine versteckte Cenote in der nähe eines Strandes.

Die Ausrüstung ist professionell und die Crew hat grosse Erfahrung! Es sind zwei Brüder und dessen Sohn. Sie sind sehr freundlich, engagiert und hilfsbereit.
Das tolle ist, einer der Brüder spricht Deutsch!
Es ist alles an Board was man braucht für einen Tag fischen auch das Bier ;)

My son and I had the absolute best time fishing with Captain Salatiel and the Gardi Crew.  It was our first time ocean fishing and couldn’t be more impressed. My son caught a whopper of a King Mackeral - about 50lbs and 4 1/2 feet long as well as a Barracuda.  I also caught a Barracuda and we had 2 hits from a sail fish and 2 other missed hits.  He was a phenomenal captain with so much knowledge of the area, where to fish and what to fish for.  We opted to stick with trolling for the big ones, but he gave us the option to bottom fish too!  It really made our whole vacation the best ever.  Thanks Gardi Crew and Captain Salatiel for the memories and an amazing experience.

Me and my wife did a 3/4 day fishing trip with the Gardi crew and absolutely loved it! The crew was extremely nice and understanding that it was my wife first time deep sea fishing. She caught the first fish which was a 20lb barricuda, I caught the next which was a 22lb mahi. We trolled the beautiful waters of the Caribbean while the captain talked to us, and told us story’s of his time being a deep sea captain. The refreshments we’re wonderful, but just know it’s a smaller boat and you will get wet,there’s just no way around it. We loved this experience so much we decided to book again with captain Salas and his crew in just a few more days. Captain Salas was very professional and meet all our accomodations and needs, this is one of the better off shore experiences I’ve ever had and would definitely recommend to anyone from an experienced fisherman to new beginners.

Awesome experience with captains Salatiel and Dan of the Gardi Crew. Communication was excellent leading up to the trip. These guys really know how to hunt the fish and didn’t quit until we found the Mahi Mahi bite. After some action and a few near strikes we landed this beauty. The captain was attentive to every need. At the end of the day he gladly cleaned and expertly filleted the fish which I brought back to the hotel. We ate like kings that night enjoying the freshest of Mexico’s bounty. I definitely recommend the experience and would absolutely come back for more great fishing adventures in Playa Del Carmen with the Gardi Crew!
