Roosterfish Fishing Charters in Cabo

Roosterfish are the signature inshore catch in Cabo and a favorite on spinning tackle. The good news: you do not need a big boat to chase them. These 9 are the inshore boats in our fleet, pangas and small sportfishers from 23 to 28 feet for up to 4 anglers, starting at $498 for the whole boat, all-in.

Roosterfish run from April to October, working the beaches and reefs close to shore. The same water holds snapper, which bite all year, and small tuna. Inshore trips are usually a half day, so the rest of your day stays free.

4 depart Cabo San Lucas as half-day trips, and 5 depart San José del Cabo as one 6-7 hour trip. Every price includes the captain and crew, tackle, bait when available, ice and water, a fishing licence, dock fees and tax. The tip for the crew is separate, and 15-20% is standard in Cabo. To head offshore instead, see tuna charters; for the lowest prices in the fleet, cheap fishing charters.
