Sportfishing in Los Cabos
Head offshore with an experienced crew in search of marlin, dorado, tuna and wahoo, on a boat reserved for your group.
World-class waters
Cabo San Lucas is known worldwide for sportfishing. The waters off the tip of Baja hold marlin, dorado, yellowfin tuna and wahoo.
Our private charters suit every level, from first-timers who want to reel in their first fish to experienced anglers targeting billfish. Choose a half day or a full day, and tell us what you hope to catch so we can match you with the right boat and crew.
Details change during the year. Boats are occasionally unavailable because of maintenance, repositioning or ownership changes, and rates vary with the season and trip length. We confirm current availability, inclusions and pricing in your quote.
Our fishing boats
From 40-foot sportfishers to 70-foot fishing yachts with tournament fighting chairs.
Sportfishing boat
A capable 40-foot sportfishing boat built for comfortable runs to the fishing grounds off Cabo San Lucas. It is outfitted with fishing equipment and a wide cockpit, so you can concentrate on the catch while the crew handles the rest.
Fish, swim & cruise
The 40-foot Tiara is as good for a swim day as for fishing. The listed minimums are three hours for cruising, four hours for swimming trips and six hours for fishing.
On board are fishing and snorkeling gear, two paddleboards, a floating play pad and towels. Please note that the Tiara does not have a fighting chair or tuna tower, so serious big-game anglers may prefer a dedicated sportfisher.

The 42-foot Viking Convertible is powered by Cummins diesel engines with Zeus pod-drive propulsion for smooth, efficient performance.
Inside, the salon has an L-shaped settee, a teak cocktail table and rich teak finishes, plus a 32-inch flat-screen TV and surround sound for downtime between bites.

The 45-foot Cabo Flybridge offers comfortable seating and a flybridge with wide views. Its listing includes round-trip transportation, fishing licenses, drinks, ice, bottled water, snacks and live bait, so your group can simply focus on fishing.

Sportfishing yacht
The 70-foot Viking has a custom teak cockpit, a spacious mezzanine and carefully finished gunwales and coaming boards. A Murray Brothers tournament fighting chair is fitted for big fish, and the boat suits experienced anglers and beginners alike.
Luxury yacht
The 90-foot Horizon is a luxury motor yacht with carefully designed lounging areas, fine furnishings and gourmet meals from an onboard chef. Ask us whether fishing can be included in your charter on this yacht.
Plan your trip
Half days suit beginners and families. Full days give the crew time to run further offshore when the bigger fish are farther out. Some boats set a minimum number of hours for fishing.
Species move through the seasons. Share your dates and we will ask the captains what is being caught before you choose a boat.
Catch-and-release is encouraged for billfish such as marlin, and Mexican rules set daily limits for other species. Your captain explains the current rules on board.
Want a fishing morning and a swim in the afternoon? The 40' Tiara offers both, or compare our luxury yacht fleet for a relaxed cruise.
Questions & answers
Practical answers for anglers planning a private fishing trip in Cabo San Lucas.
The waters off Cabo are known for marlin, dorado (mahi-mahi), yellowfin tuna and wahoo, among other species. What is biting changes through the year, so ask us about your dates when you request a quote.
Cabo offers sportfishing all year, but the best species change with the seasons and water temperatures. Share your travel dates and we will check with the captains about current conditions before you book.
Mexico requires a recreational fishing license for anglers. Many charters arrange licenses for you; the 45' Cabo Flybridge, for example, lists fishing licenses as included. We confirm whether licenses are included in your quote.
A half day is a good introduction for beginners, families and anyone prone to seasickness. A full day gives the crew more time to reach productive water and is the better choice if you are targeting billfish or tuna. Some boats set minimums, such as six hours for fishing on the 40' Tiara.
Rods, reels and tackle are provided on all our sportfishing boats. Other inclusions vary: the 45' Cabo Flybridge lists round-trip transportation, licenses, drinks, ice, water, snacks and live bait. Your quote lists everything included for your boat.
Billfish such as marlin are usually released, and catch-and-release is strongly encouraged. For other species, Mexican regulations set daily limits per angler. Your captain will explain what you can keep on the day.
Yes. The crew rigs the lines, helps you hook and reel in fish and explains each step. For children, a shorter trip and a boat with plenty of shade make the day more enjoyable.
It depends on the boat and how many lines the crew runs at once. The 70' Hatteras, for example, hosts up to 12 guests on day charters and up to eight anglers on overnight trips. Tell us your group size and we will suggest a suitable boat.
Absolutely. Many groups mix anglers with guests who simply enjoy the ride. If part of your group would rather swim, the 40' Tiara combines fishing with snorkel gear, paddleboards and a floating play pad.
Bring sunscreen, a hat, polarized sunglasses, a light jacket for the early morning run and motion-sickness medication if you need it. Ask whether food is included, and bring some cash for the crew's gratuity.
Fishing is never guaranteed. Captains use their experience, electronics and local knowledge to find fish, but conditions change daily. A good day on the water off Cabo is still a memorable one, even when the fish are shy.
