Is it safe?
A full day offshore on a charter with a captain and mate, limited to 6 people. The main risks are seasickness, sun and heat. Confirm before booking that the charter's fishing license covers everyone aboard.
•Seasickness risk is high for an 8-hour trip offshore. Take motion-sickness medication the night before and again in the morning, eat a light breakfast and look at the horizon.
•There is little shade. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, long sleeves and more water than you think you need.
•Sport fishing in Mexican waters requires a federal (CONAPESCA) license. Ask the operator in writing whether it is included and whether it covers every person on board.
•Hooks, lines and a moving deck: keep shoes on, follow the mate's instructions and stay seated when the boat is under way.
November — the dry season begins and Festival Gourmet runs mid-month. Whale season opens in December.
