Head out from IGY Marina with a private captain and first mate for up to eight hours around Cabo. The crew supplies rods, bait, licenses, lunch, snacks, water, sodas, and beer while you fish for marlin, dorado, tuna, wahoo, roosterfish, and more.

“Had a great trip with Capt Jose and Freddie. We were in 3-4 foot swells about 5-7 miles out and the Marlin were feeding. We had on hook up and throw the lure within the first 10 minutes of putting out. In another 10 minutes we hooked into and were able to land a striped marlin that was just under 9 foot. Unfortunately my brother in law started getting sick so we had to return to shore but it was still an epic day. The crew was awesome and new hot to get us on the fish. Thanks for a great day.”

We jad to pay an additional $90 U.S. for licenses, doc fees, and bait. The bait was either $20 or $30 for 3 love fish and 2 dead fish. We caught 2 fish and missed a few others. The seats were pretty uncomfortable. I wouldn't purchase this excursion again or reccomend it. Captain Chummy was a good dude.”

“Very disappointing! Told to arrive at 1:00 for 1:30 trip. Capt Chris arrived 45 min late leaving port at 1:58. 5 hour trip became a 4 hour trip. While on-board crew told 2 of us to hide in bathroom because too many people aboard boat while going past harbor master. Went to purchase licenses but system was not working so told "not to worry about it" . Seemed very sketchy and unprofessional. While on boat, crew did not talk to us or engage with us. They set up fishing lines and went up top to talk on their phones. We never once fished while on board and only one of…”

7.Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 15 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Set out from Cabo San Lucas Marina for five hours of fishing, passing the Arch, Lovers Beach, and a sea lion colony. A captain and mate provide five rods, tackle, ice, safety gear, and an onboard restroom. Bring cash for the $20 license, bait, food, drinks, and tips.

“We didn’t catch one single fish. The Deck Hand worked super hard - changing baits & lures frequently to try to find something that would interest the fish. But, the Captain kept going back & forth over the same small area just offshore for the full five hours of the trip. The fish weren’t there. Of the Cabo fishing fleet, only 2-3 boats came near us & soon left for better fishing areas. Very frustrating that we stayed in that small area catching nothing. Also, as soon as we started back to the harbor, the Captain started drinking beer from the cooler.”
