Some mornings are worth waking up early for.
Chasing marlin offshore. Fishing the coast with the family. Or just spending a great morning on the water. Cabo has a fishing day for you — we'll help you find it.
There's fishing. And then there's fishing in Cabo.
Out here, the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. A day on the water can mean a shot at a legendary big-game fish, a relaxed coastal outing, or a first catch you'll talk about long after the vacation ends.
And you don't need to know the difference between a panga and a sportfisher to get started. That's our job.
Start with the kind of day you want. We'll work backward to the right boat.
Who’s coming? How experienced are you? Do you want to chase something big or keep things easy? The answers matter more than the biggest boat in the marina.
What does your perfect fishing day look like?
From chasing big game offshore to casting your first line, the right fishing experience starts with the kind of day you want to have.

We'll help confirm the details of the specific charter before you commit.
What's usually included in a fishing charter?
It depends on the boat and operator. Crew, fishing tackle, bait, drinks, meals, licenses, and marina fees may be included or charged separately. We'll show you what's included in the actual option you choose.
Do I need a fishing license?
Fishing licenses are generally required for people fishing in Mexican waters. Some charter operators arrange them and others charge separately. We'll confirm how licenses are handled for your specific trip.
Is a half-day enough, or should I book a full day?
A half-day can be a great introduction or fit for a relaxed outing. A full day can offer more flexibility to travel and pursue particular fishing grounds. The right choice depends on your goals, season, and boat.
Can beginners and kids go fishing?
Many charters welcome beginners and families, but age limits, safety requirements, vessel comfort, and trip suitability vary. Tell us who's coming and we'll help identify appropriate options.
What fish can I catch in Cabo?
Depending on the season and conditions, Cabo waters are known for marlin, tuna, dorado, wahoo, and a variety of coastal species. Fishing is never a guarantee, and your captain will advise on what's realistic for your date.
What about seasickness, weather, and cancellations?
Open-water conditions vary, especially offshore. If motion sickness is a concern, tell us before booking. Weather decisions, rescheduling, refunds, and cancellation policies are specific to each charter and should be confirmed before payment.
Can we keep the fish?
Mexican fishing regulations, species restrictions, catch limits, and conservation practices apply. Some species are subject to special protections or catch-and-release practices. We'll confirm the relevant rules and the charter's fish-handling policy.
What should we bring?
Sun protection, a hat, non-slip footwear, any personal medication, and a light layer are sensible starting points. Your booking details will specify whether to bring food, beverages, towels, or other items.
We're not here to sell you whatever boat happens to be on the page.
Tell us who's going, what kind of fishing interests you, how serious you want to get, and what kind of day sounds good. We'll help sort through the options and find something that actually fits your Cabo.
What's biting, and when?
Different seasons bring different opportunities. Explore the calendar by species, or choose your travel month to see what could be worth targeting.
| Species | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
