Private sportfishing · Cabo San Lucas
Full day from $1,500 · Half day from $1,100
Trips & rates
Every trip is private. Prices are per boat, not per person, so a family of six pays the same as a pair. Long runs to the outer banks burn more fuel, so those are quoted with fuel before you book. No surprises at the dock.

The boat
A purpose-built express sportfisher with a tuna tower, outriggers and a wide-open cockpit. Enough boat to run to the banks on a sloppy day, and enough shade and seating that the non-anglers in the family are glad they came.
Owned by a Colorado family and run year-round out of Cabo by Captain Carlos. The name is the whole idea: the trips we remember most were the ones with our own kids on deck.
What's biting
Cabo fishes twelve months a year. Striped marlin carry the winter, dorado and tuna carry the summer, and the blue and black marlin show up for the fall tournaments. Tell us when you are coming and we will tell you what to expect.

Your day
Cabo San Lucas Marina, Marina Mercado side. We confirm the exact dock by WhatsApp the evening before. Coffee is on.
Past the Arch and Lover's Beach, bait up, then the captain picks the side of the cape with the best report that morning.
Pre-ordered lunch and cold drinks come out when the fish let us. Shade, a head and a cabin for anyone who needs a break.
The mate cleans and bags your catch. Several restaurants on the marina will cook it for you that night.
FAQ
Yes. Mexico requires a license for everyone 12 and older who fishes, about $20 per person per day. We buy them for your group before departure, so you only need to give us names when you book.
That is the point of the boat. The half-day inshore trip has steady action on roosterfish and sierra, calm water near the cape, kid-size life vests, shade and a head. Many families send two anglers to the rods and the rest to the cooler and the cameras.
A run to the Gorda Banks or the Finger Bank can burn twice the fuel of a standard day. Rather than bake a worst case into every price, we add the actual fuel estimate to the long-range quote so you see the full number before you pay a deposit.
If the port captain closes the harbor, you choose a new date or get your deposit back in full. If the harbor is open, the captain decides where to fish, and some of the best days start grey.
Dorado, tuna and wahoo, yes, within Mexican bag limits. We release marlin unless you tell us you want to keep one, which the law allows at one per angler per day. The mate cleans and bags everything at the dock.
Deposits are refundable in full up to 14 days before the trip and 50 percent refundable up to 7 days before. Inside 7 days the deposit is held but can be moved to another date within a year.
