Best Fishing Cabo San Lucas
Best Fishing Cabo San Lucas gets hyped hard by travel blogs. Is it deserved? Mostly yes. $70-150, half day, and my honest take.
Prices $400-1500. Duration about 4-8 hours. Book direct for best value. Mid range operators are most reliable.
The best fishing options in Cabo range from $400-1500 per person and the top picks aren't always the most expensive. Here's what locals recommend.
Book at the marina, not through your hotel — you'll save 15-25%. Pisces, RedRum, and Tag Cabo are consistently reliable operators.
Most charters include all gear, bait, tackle, and drinks. The captain and crew handle everything — you just need to show up. Tipping the crew 15-20% is standard and appreciated.
Pangas (small open boats) start cheaper and work great for inshore fishing. Bigger sport fishers with cabins are better for full-day offshore trips. Private charters give you the run of the boat.
Pro tip from locals: check the actual boat, not just the operator's website photos.
