Les Is More 68ft Viking Fishing Yacht Rental

A fishing trip on the 68-foot Viking Les Is More can be as much about the lunch as the catch. You head out from Cabo San Lucas with a seasoned angler crew, high-end gear, a personal bartender, open bar, and a food plan built around local seafood. The boat holds up to 14 people, so it works well for a family group, celebration, or friends who want a private day on the water.

I like the way the crew can adjust the schedule when conditions change. After a tropical storm, the departure time was shifted to avoid rough water. I also like the mix of fishing and downtime, with one outing ending in a calm bay for swimming and relaxing. The main drawback is the price: $5,812.50 per group is a serious spend, even when divided among 14 people.

Key points at a glance

• 68-foot Viking yacht: Les Is More gives your group a private, roomy base for fishing, meals, and time in the water.
• Fishing with a full-service crew: A seasoned angler crew handles the fishing side while a personal bartender manages drinks.
• Chef-prepared seafood: Chef Cris has served breakfast, fresh sushi, ceviche, and fish tacos using the day’s catch.
• Flexible day on the water: The outing can last about 3 hours to a full day, with the exact shape depending on your booking and conditions.
• Private group value: The flat group price covers up to 14 people, making the math more appealing for a full party than for a small couple.
• Weather matters: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund, and timing may be adjusted when seas are rough.

Setting Out From Cabo San Lucas Marina

Your day begins at the Cabo San Lucas marina in Centro, at Marina, 23453 Cabo San Lucas, BCS, Mexico. The activity returns to the same meeting point, and pickup is offered, so confirm the pickup details when you book rather than assuming a hotel transfer is included.

The marina start makes practical sense. You are close to Cabo’s main tourist center, public transportation is nearby, and the boat returns to a familiar place at the end. The tradeoff is that marina activity can make the beginning feel more like a working harbor than a quiet escape. Once you are aboard, though, the focus shifts quickly to the yacht, the crew, and the day’s plan.

You will want to think about your group before booking. Les Is More is set up for as many as 14 people, but that does not mean every group needs a full day. A three-hour outing may suit a first-time fishing group or a packed Cabo schedule. A full-day booking makes more sense if you want time for serious fishing, a long meal, and a stop for swimming.

What the 68-Foot Viking Means for Your Day

The size of the boat changes the feel of the outing. You are not simply hiring a fishing boat for a quick run offshore. Les Is More has three staterooms, room for food service, a bartender, fishing equipment, and water toys. That makes it possible for different people in your party to enjoy the day in different ways.

The serious anglers can focus on the lines. Someone who is not keen on fishing can settle in with a drink or a meal. Children or less active members of the group may prefer time in a calm bay, using the water toys, or simply enjoying the boat. That flexibility is one of the strongest reasons to consider this charter for a mixed group.

Three staterooms are useful, but the available information does not say that overnight stays are part of the booking. Think of them as part of the yacht’s comfort and layout rather than an automatic promise of sleeping aboard. Ask the operator exactly how the staterooms are used for your chosen duration.

The same advice applies to the water toys. They are listed as part of the boat’s features, but the precise equipment is not specified. If a particular toy matters to your group, ask before you pay. The experience is strongest when you treat the boat as a flexible private base, not as a fixed checklist of guaranteed activities.

Fishing With a Seasoned Angler Crew

The fishing portion is the heart of the outing, and the crew supplies high-end fishing equipment. That matters if your group includes experienced anglers who do not want to spend the day working with basic rental gear. It also helps first-timers, since you can focus on the excitement rather than figuring out what equipment to bring.

The fishing can produce a varied catch. On one outing, the boat brought in yellowfin tuna, wahoo, dorado, mackerel, and white tuna. Another half-day trip produced mahi and marlin. Those catches are not a guarantee for your date, since fish and sea conditions are never fully predictable, but they show the range of species possible in the Cabo area.

I would set expectations carefully. The boat can provide professional equipment and a seasoned crew, but no charter can promise a marlin, a full cooler, or fish early in the day. If your priority is catching fish, talk with Cabo Yacht Charters about the best duration and current conditions. A longer booking gives you more time on the water, but it also costs more and may not suit a group that mainly wants lunch and swimming.

The fishing also shapes the meal. A catch can become part of the experience rather than just something you take home. That connection between the activity and the food is a real strength here, especially for people who enjoy seeing local seafood handled and served soon after it comes aboard.

Chef Cris and the Seafood Menu

Food is a major part of what separates this charter from a basic fishing outing. The menu is planned with you after booking, using local seafood and other selected ingredients. There are options for food allergies and dietary restrictions, but you should raise those needs in advance so the kitchen can plan properly.

Chef Cris has prepared breakfast while the yacht was heading out, then served fresh sushi and fish tacos later in the day. Ceviche is another highlight, and one outing included both sushi and ceviche made from the day’s catch. The menu therefore can move from a morning meal to a seafood lunch without feeling like an afterthought.

That flexibility is valuable for a group with different appetites. Some people want a proper breakfast before fishing. Others care most about fresh ceviche or tacos at the end. Since the menu is arranged from available options, you have a chance to shape the food around the purpose of your outing, be it a bachelorette celebration, a family event, or a day built around fishing.

Do not assume that every menu item is included automatically in the same form for every booking. The experience is described as all-inclusive, but the specific menu is created with the operator. Confirm what your package includes, especially if you want a certain cake, celebration setup, or special dish.

Open Bar and Personal Bartender

The open bar and personal bartender make the boat feel more like a private yacht day than a standard fishing charter. You do not have to organize every drink yourself while handling lines, food, and equipment. That service is especially useful for a celebration or a group with several people who are not fishing.

One bachelorette outing included welcome drinks and decorations, along with a cake. Those extras were arranged for that group, so I would request them directly rather than assume they are standard. The larger point is that the company appears willing to shape the day around an occasion when you explain what you want.

An open bar can also make the price easier to understand for a full group. At $5,812.50, the total is high, but divided among 14 people it comes to about $415 per person before any extra costs or changes. A smaller group pays far more per person, so this charter offers its best value when you can fill much of the available capacity.

The price is still not a bargain in the ordinary sense. You are paying for private use of a large Viking yacht, crew service, food, drinks, equipment, and the freedom to set the day’s tone. If your group only wants two hours of sightseeing, a simpler boat will probably be a better fit.

A Calm Bay for Swimming and Water Time

Fishing does not have to fill every minute. One successful half-day outing finished with a stop in a calm bay for swimming and relaxation. That change of pace is important, especially for people who enjoy the sea but are not committed anglers.

The bay stop also gives you a chance to use the water toys, although the exact toys are not listed. It is a good reason to bring swimwear if your group wants time in the water. I would also ask the operator about the day’s planned swimming stop, since the route can depend on weather, sea conditions, and the fishing plan.

For a celebration, this may be the moment that makes the day feel complete. Fishing provides the action, lunch provides the social center, and a calm bay gives everyone time to talk, swim, and slow down. It is a better structure for a mixed group than a trip that keeps every person focused on catching fish.

The limitation is simple: this is not presented as a guaranteed sightseeing route with fixed stops. The bay visit came as part of one outing, but your day may be arranged differently. Ask the crew to build in swimming time if that matters to you.

Weather, Timing, and the Shape of the Itinerary

The experience lasts about 3 hours to 1 day. That wide range means you should clarify the exact duration before booking. A short trip may center on fishing and a meal, while a full-day charter can leave room for more fishing, a longer menu, and time in a calm bay.

Weather is an important part of the planning. The company requires good weather, and a booking canceled for poor conditions can be moved to another date or refunded in full. Even when the trip goes ahead, a rough-weather forecast may lead to a changed departure time. One group shifted its start to avoid rough water after a tropical storm.

I like that flexibility because it puts safety before a rigid timetable. The practical lesson is to keep some room in your Cabo schedule. Do not place this charter immediately before an important flight or another prepaid activity if your plans cannot move.

The cancellation terms are straightforward. You receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted. The cut-off uses local time, so check the exact start time before making changes.

Who Gets the Best Value From Les Is More

This charter makes the most sense for a private group that wants several experiences in one day. A wedding party, family reunion, birthday group, or corporate gathering can use the boat for fishing, dining, drinks, and swimming without sharing the space with strangers.

It is also a strong choice for a group with mixed interests. The angler in your party gets professional equipment and crew support. The nonangler gets food, drinks, views, water time, and a comfortable place to spend the day. That broad appeal is more important than the fishing equipment alone.

A half-day booking suits a celebration with limited time. The bachelorette outing worked fishing, a marlin and mahi catch, welcome drinks, a cake, chef-prepared seafood, and a calm-bay stop into a shorter schedule. A full day is better for a group that wants to fish seriously and still have time to relax.

I would be cautious if you are traveling as only two or three people and do not care about the yacht’s private setting. The flat price becomes difficult to justify for a small party. I would also look elsewhere if your main goal is a low-cost fishing trip rather than a polished food-and-service experience.

Booking Details to Confirm Before You Pay

Confirmation arrives within 48 hours, subject to availability. That timing matters if your Cabo visit is short, so do not wait until the last minute if your schedule is tight.

The activity is offered in English. Pickup is offered, and the meeting point is in Cabo San Lucas Centro at the marina. Since the exact pickup arrangement is not detailed, confirm where and when you will be collected.

Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. The activity is near public transportation. If anyone in your group has a specific mobility, medical, or dietary concern, discuss it with Cabo Yacht Charters before booking rather than relying on the general participation note.

Should You Book Les Is More?

Book Les Is More if you want a private Cabo day built around service, seafood, and flexibility, and you have enough people to share the $5,812.50 group price. The large Viking yacht, seasoned fishing crew, open bar, personal bartender, chef-prepared food, and water time create a full day rather than a narrow fishing outing.

Skip it if you want the least expensive way to catch fish, if your party is very small, or if you need a fixed schedule with guaranteed catches and stops. For the right group, though, this is a memorable choice: fish in the morning, fresh sushi or ceviche later, drinks throughout the day, and a quiet bay before returning to the Cabo marina.
