Cabo Fishing Charters

A fishing charter in Cabo means you book the whole boat for your group, not a seat on someone else's. Our sportfishing fleet runs 20 boats between 23 and 60 ft, priced $498 to $4,307 for a half day and up to $4,824 for a full day. Prices on this page come straight from the same rate sheet checkout uses, and they are all-in: taxes, dock and marina fees, tackle, bait, ice and your Mexican fishing licence are already included.

Every one of them books online, and your captain confirms the exact dock and departure time before your trip.

How to pick. The smallest boats are the cheapest way to get a line in the water and work for two to four anglers who want a short morning out. The mid-size boats in the $498 to $4,307 band are the honest sweet spot for a real fishing day: more range, more cockpit room to fight a fish, and enough shade and seating that the non-anglers in the group aren't miserable. The largest boat in the fishing fleet is the 60ft Hatteras at 60 ft, taking up to 10 anglers.

Per-angler math. Charter pricing is flat regardless of headcount, so a boat gets cheaper per head the more people you bring, right up to its angler limit. Split the 23ft Panga at $498 across 3 anglers and it is about $166 each for a half day. Ask the concierge for the safe, legal maximum on the boat you're eyeing · Mexican Navy rules set it, not us.

Half day. The entry point and the one most anglers book first · enough water time for a real morning on the fish without giving up the whole day.

Full day. More range and more time on the fish. Bookable online exactly like the half day · no concierge call needed.

Departure times are set by your captain, not by a fixed slot picker. Once your date is booked he confirms the exact dock and time by WhatsApp, because the right departure depends on the season, the tide and what is running.

Every charter departs the IGY Marina in Cabo San Lucas. You clear the marina mouth, pass El Arco at Land's End, and your captain calls it from there · the Sea of Cortez side or the Pacific side, depending on the day's conditions and what is running. Your captain confirms the exact dock by WhatsApp before your trip; it is a short walk from anywhere on the marina.

Cabo fishes all year. The two dates worth planning around are less about the fish and more about the fleet being sold out from under you.

Bisbee's Black & Blue. The marlin tournament runs in late October and it takes the fishing fleet with it · boats, captains, and crews are committed months out. If your trip lands on that week, book 6 or more months ahead or expect to pay tournament-week rates for whatever is left.

Weather. Cabo's storm season runs through the late summer and early fall, and sea conditions can turn on short notice. We do not gamble with it: if the captain cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a free reschedule, your choice. That is the policy, not a case-by-case favor.

Everything else. Outside tournament week and the holidays, a week or two of lead time is usually enough to get the boat you want in the slot you want. Booking earlier mostly buys you your first choice of vessel rather than a better price.
