What's included

Everything that comes with the 30ft California

  • Professional captain and crew
  • Premium rods, reels and tackle
  • Mexican fishing license (1)
  • Dock and marina fees
  • Ice and bottled water
  • Fresh or live bait when available
  • All taxes

Not included

Gratuity. 15-20% is standard in Cabo and goes to the captain and crew. Bring it in cash.

Nothing else gets added later. The rate you see is all-in — taxes and dock fees are already inside it, at checkout and at the dock.

The day

Half day or full day

Half day

$939

The standard trip and enough water time for most groups. Good for a first day in Cabo, mixed groups, and anyone who wants the afternoon back.

Full day

$989

Gives the captain the range to run further and stay on the fish longer. This is the one to take if you are targeting marlin or tuna.

Departure times are confirmed by your captain once your date is booked, along with the exact dock in Cabo San Lucas — a short walk from anywhere on the marina.

What you catch

Marlin, dorado, tuna, wahoo, roosterfish

Cabo sits where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific, and the species list reflects it: marlin (striped, blue and black), dorado or mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, wahoo and roosterfish.

Billfish are tag-and-release. Marlin get a photo, a tag and the water back.

Edible catch can be cleaned. Dorado and tuna can be handled for you — tell us in advance if you want the catch prepared a particular way so the captain plans for it.

Questions

30ft California charter FAQs

How much is the 30ft California for a day of fishing?
$939 for a half day and $989 for a full day, all-in. That is the price for the whole boat rather than per angler, and it already includes taxes, dock and marina fees, tackle, bait, ice and a Mexican fishing licence. Gratuity for the captain and crew is separate — 15-20% is standard in Cabo.
How many anglers fit on the 30ft California?
Up to 4. The charter price does not change with your headcount, so the cost per person drops as your group grows toward that limit.
What time does the boat leave?
The vendor sells this boat as a half day or a full day. Departure times are set and confirmed by your captain once your date is booked, along with the exact dock in Cabo San Lucas.
What can we catch on this boat?
The Cabo fishery holds marlin (striped, blue and black), dorado or mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, wahoo and roosterfish. Billfish are tag-and-release; edible catch can be cleaned for you. Nobody honest guarantees a catch on a given day.
What if we need to cancel?
More than 72 hours before your trip: 75% refund. From 48 to 72 hours before: 50% refund. Under 48 hours, a no-show, arriving late, seasickness or heading back early: no refund. If the port is closed, or the captain or tour team cancels for weather or safety, we move you to a new date. If no new date works for you, you get a full refund. Light rain or choppy water that the captain calls safe is not a cancellation.
