3.Sportfishing Charters in Cabo San Lucas with Kellyfish Cabo Sportfishing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 85 reviews · 8 hours (approx.)

Start at 6 a.m. from Cabo San Lucas Marina for an approximately eight-hour private charter aboard Kellyfish, Pacific Time, or Fish Hunter Jr. Captain Ismael, Andy, Miguel, and other crew members help beginners and experienced anglers target local fish. Gear and water are included, while licenses, live bait, and the marina fee cost extra.

“The fishing trip was a mission success as far as catching marlin snd mahi mahi. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the bs scams that come with the excursion. No water was provided for us like the description mentions. The fishing license is non sense and so is the live bait but I guess all these scams are expected since it is a tourist trap after all. If you can get past all that then this will be a great experience.”

4.Private Half-Day Sport Fishing in Los Cabos

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 75 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Spend about five hours on a private panga from Cabo San Lucas with room for up to three people. Captain Pedro, Captain Tony, or another local skipper may lead the trip, depending on assignment. Fish the Sea of Cortez or Pacific for marlin, dorado, wahoo, roosterfish, and more, with equipment and an ice chest supplied.

“The boat is small and room for 2-3 guest max. We had 2 and was plenty of room to stand up, move around, and take photos. We're avid ocean fisherman so the small boat and one captain was perfect. We caught some fish and our poor captain had to work for it. The weather was rough but we didn't mind, and he kept going without skipping a beat. If your not used to small boats in the ocean you should bring sea sickness meds. You can bring snacks, food, even a small ice chest if you like. We really enjoyed the small personal experience and will do it again next…”

“You're risking your life if you get on this boat!! The diesel exhaust fumes made us sick! This was NOT the boat pictured! There were NO life preservers, NO radio, NO fishing equipment except for 6 fishing poles and 2 plastic chairs on the back of the boat! Although Capitan Ronny and his mates kept 5 rods in the water the only chance to catch a fish was when they saw a Marlin fin above the surface! We did hook a shark but it got off when I was handed the pole. We saw Marlin, Tuna and plenty of other fish on other boats when we got back to the…”
