Fishing Cabo on a budget

A private fishing trip in Cabo does not have to cost thousands. These 12 boats all start at $800 or less for the whole boat, from $424 for the 23ft Panga. The price includes the captain and crew, tackle, bait, ice and water, a fishing licence and dock fees. 16% IVA is added at checkout, and the tip is separate.

Most of them are pangas and small sportfishers, 23 to 33 feet, for 3 or 4 anglers. They fish close to shore, where roosterfish run from April to October and snapper bite all year. Split between three people, the per-person cost gets low fast.

6 depart Cabo San Lucas as half-day trips, and 6 depart San José del Cabo as a single 6-7 hour trip. For marlin you want a bigger boat; see marlin charters. For a cheap day on the water without rods, see our cheap boat rentals.

Questions people ask

What is the cheapest fishing charter in Cabo?
On our site, the 23ft Panga at $424 for a half day, plus 16% IVA, for the whole boat. It takes up to 3 anglers.
Is a cheap charter worth it?
For inshore fish like roosterfish and snapper, a panga or small sportfisher is the classic Cabo trip. If you want to chase marlin offshore, the bigger boats have the range and room.
What is included in the price?
Every boat price is for the whole boat, plus 16% IVA, and includes the captain and crew, rods, reels and tackle, one Mexican fishing licence, dock and marina fees, ice and bottled water, and fresh or live bait when available. The tip for the crew is separate; 15-20% is standard in Cabo.
How does booking work?
Pick a boat, a date and half or full day, then book online. Every trip is paid in full, plus 16% IVA, when you book. Your captain confirms the departure time and dock once the date is booked. 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.
