$400–$1,500
$400-1500 per person

Sport Fishing in Cabo runs $400-1500 per person and the experience varies wildly depending on the operator. Here's what we actually recommend.

Cabo sits where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, making it one of the top sport fishing destinations on the planet. Marlin, tuna, dorado, wahoo, and roosterfish are all in play depending on the season.

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.

Pro tip from locals: off-season means smaller crowds and better deals.
