Fishing for marlin out of Cabo

Marlin live offshore, so the boat matters. These 14 are the premium sportfishers in our fleet at 35 feet and up, the boats with the range and room for a full day on the water. Full-day prices start at $1,166 for the whole boat, plus 16% IVA, and the biggest take up to 10 anglers.

Timing depends on the fish. Striped marlin, Cabo's everyday billfish, peak from November to May. Blue marlin, the trophy fish, run from June to December, and black marlin from June to November. Marlin are released, so plan on the photo, not the dinner; the tuna and dorado you catch on the same trip are the ones for the table.

Boats leave from two marinas. 12 depart Cabo San Lucas and 2 depart Marina Puerto Los Cabos in San José del Cabo, which is closer to the Gordo Banks. Every price includes the captain and crew, tackle, bait, ice, a fishing licence and dock fees; 16% IVA is added at checkout. For the whole fleet, see all fishing charters; for bigger groups, group fishing charters.

Questions people ask

When is marlin season in Cabo?
There is marlin in Cabo most of the year. Striped marlin peak from November to May, blue marlin from June to December and black marlin from June to November. Your captain fishes for whatever is running on your date.
Do we keep the marlin?
No. Marlin are caught and released in Cabo. Other fish you catch on the same trip, like tuna or dorado, can usually be kept; ask your captain on the day.
Half day or full day for marlin?
The fish are offshore, so most anglers choose a full day for the extra time on the water. Every boat on this page also sells a half day, except the San José boats, which run one 6-7 hour trip.
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.
