Excursion Fly-fishing tour at Costa Maya

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Leave the crowded pier behind and head off to the secluded Costa Maya Channels for an exclusive fly-fishing tour. No need to be an expert, our professional guides will help you every step of the way showing you techniques to catch Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit, and many others in a catch and release format.

The Mayan Indians once used these fishing spots to transport wood, fish, seashells, and conch from the Costa Maya peninsula to the mainland. They were later used by the Maya to elude capture by the conquering Spanish and sometime later, pirates hid in them to ambush cargo ships and Spanish galleons as they made off with treasure taken from the Maya. After centuries of isolation the channels have become a perfect sanctuary for fish and birds of all species. These days these channels and flats boast Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Snapper, and Snook to name a few and are ranked by many anglers as one of the most privileged fishing areas in the world.

Depart the pier by van for the approximate 45 to 60 minute drive to the dock to board your panga-style fishing vessel. Soft drinks and snacks will be available during your 4-hour fishing experience. Following your time on the water, re-join your transfer for the return drive to the pier.
