Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa sits at Km 256.3 in Akumal, on two miles of coastline with mangroves, gardens and its own little Mayan ruin on a heart-shaped cove. It's a wonderful place to snorkel, swim and let the kids loose at the Sirenios Kids Club. When you want a proper day of deep sea fishing, the sportfishing boats are a short ride up the road. This guide covers what's biting, which trip suits families and couples, 2026 prices and how to get from the lobby to the dock.
Quick answer: book a private charter from Puerto Aventuras Marina, roughly 13 km (10 to 15 minutes) north of Grand Sirenis. A 4 hour morning trip is the sweet spot for most families, and 6 hours is best if you're after sailfish and marlin in spring. Prices are per boat, not per person, from $450 for 3 hours.
Why Grand Sirenis guests fish from Puerto Aventuras
The resort's beach and cove are made for snorkeling and paddling, and the tour desk and diving center have plenty to keep you busy. For offshore fishing, though, the boats are based in the marina at Puerto Aventuras, the next town north. That short drive is worth it:
Close to your room
About 10 to 15 minutes by taxi. A morning trip has you back for lunch by the lazy river.
Your boat only
Every charter is 100% private. No strangers, no fixed group plan, and the crew fishes the way your group wants.
Fish fast
The reef edge and deep blue water start about 15 minutes from the dock, so most of your trip is spent with lines in the water.
It feels a lot like the all-inclusive you're used to. Water, soft drinks, ice, fresh fruit, chips, guacamole and ceviche made from your catch are all on board, and you're welcome to bring your own drinks or add a cooler of beer or unlimited margaritas.
What you can catch near Grand Sirenis
This stretch of the Riviera Maya fishes well all year. Here's how our Fishing Info page rates the seasons:
- Fall and winter (September to March): barracuda are excellent all year, bonito are at their best from October to December, and amberjack and yellowtail snapper fire from October through March. Kingfish, tuna and wahoo are good through the winter too.
- Spring and early summer (April to July): billfish season. Sailfish, white marlin, blue marlin and mahi mahi peak in May and June.
- All year: mutton snapper, triggerfish and wahoo are rated good every month, so there's always something to target.
The Fishing Info page also has the latest fishing reports if you want to see what's been biting this week. Billfish are always released, and the crew cleans and bags any keepers for you.
Which trip suits your Grand Sirenis stay?
Families with kids
Book 3 or 4 hours. Trolling along the reef keeps the rods bending, and kids can reel in kingfish, barracuda and bonito. Our Fish & Snorkel option adds a swim on the reef with snorkel gear included, which breaks up the morning nicely for younger kids. It's a fun change from the resort cove, too.
Couples
A relaxed 4 hour trip on the 32' Blackfin with a cooler of cold beer or unlimited margaritas makes an easy morning. If one of you is keen to chase a sailfish or marlin, book 6 hours in spring.
Groups, reunions and serious anglers
Book 6 or 8 hours on the 45' Viking Express. It takes up to 15 guests, has the most shade and deck space, and gives you time to troll the deep water and still drop a line on the reef.

- Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, polarized sunglasses and a light long-sleeve shirt.
- Bring cash for the dock fee and a tip for the crew.
- Take seasickness tablets before you leave if you're prone to it.
