The day

One 6-7 hour trip

6-7 hour trip

$800

This boat runs one trip length at one all-in price, for the whole boat. There is no half day or full day to pick.

Departure times are confirmed by your captain once your date is booked, along with the exact dock in San José del Cabo — 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.
