Quick answer

Prices run $400-1500 per person. Mid range around $950 is best value. Book direct to save vs hotel pricing.

Sport Fishing pricing in Cabo sits around $400-1500 per person. Let me break down what you get at each price point. Peak fishing season runs October through November for marlin, but there's something biting year-round. Summer brings dorado and yellowfin. Winter has striped marlin runs. 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. Pro tip from locals: morning slots have calmer water and better conditions.
