★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 418 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) Our pick

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.”

Private Fishing Charter in Ketchikan

2.Private Fishing Charter in Ketchikan

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 367 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $900Top rated

Spend about five hours on a private Ketchikan boat with guides such as Joey or Alex, targeting salmon and halibut in protected waters. Gear, snacks, water, and soda are included. You meet near your cruise ship, but fishing licenses, king stamps, and gratuity cost extra.

“We felt good about our trip because Captain Mike had 5 Stars, but when we got to the dock it wasn’t Captain Mike it was someone else. Our Captain that day was very kind with great manners but he did not know where the fish was located that day. We did try three different places he thought maybe they were located. For the money we paid this wasn’t good. I’m thinking, maybe Captain Mike didn’t care enough about us catching to share this information with the captain who took us out that day. Just not sure to be honest. But for sure, their excuse of TIDE issues just wasn’t the…”
