Deep Sea Fishing Charters in Cabo San Lucas

Welcome to Cabo San Lucas, the marlin capital of the world. Our deep sea fishing charters offer unforgettable adventures in some of the most productive fishing waters on the planet. Located at the convergence of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, Cabo provides unparalleled opportunities to land trophy fish and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Why Choose Cabo San Lucas for Deep Sea Fishing?

Cabo San Lucas stands out as a premier destination for sport fishing enthusiasts for several compelling reasons:

  • Year-round fishing opportunities: The warm climate and diverse marine ecosystem mean excellent fishing conditions throughout the entire year

  • Abundance of trophy fish: Marlin, dorado (mahi-mahi), yellowfin tuna, wahoo, sailfish, and roosterfish are abundant in these waters

  • Proximity to fishing grounds: Fish the deep waters just hours from the marina—most offshore spots are only 15–50 miles away

  • Experienced local captains: Our crews have decades of combined experience and fish these waters 300+ days per year

  • Quick success potential: Land a monster fish in as little as 6–8 hours with our nearshore and offshore trips

Our Fishing Charter Options

We offer 3/4-day charters lasting 6 hours that venture nearshore between 0–15 miles from the coast. These trips are perfect for families, first-timers, and budget-conscious anglers targeting roosterfish, snappers, groupers, and yellowtail. You'll experience the thrill of fishing without committing an entire day.

Our full-day charters run 8 hours and venture offshore between 15–50 miles from shore. These trips are ideal for serious anglers and trophy seekers targeting marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo, and dorado. This is where the big game fishing happens, and your chances of landing a trophy fish significantly increase.

For the ultimate experience, we also offer extended full-day trips that venture 50+ miles into deep offshore waters. These premium adventures are perfect for tournament preparation and serious big game anglers hunting blue marlin, black marlin, and swordfish.

Peak Fishing Seasons in Cabo

Winter months from January through March bring striped marlin, yellowfin tuna, and roosterfish with ideal weather and excellent conditions. This is one of the most popular seasons for visiting anglers.

Spring fishing from April through May features striped marlin, dorado, and yellowtail as water temperatures warm up and consistent action continues.

Summer months from June through August are hot for blue marlin, black marlin, wahoo, and roosterfish. Billfish enthusiasts flock to Cabo during these months for peak big game action.

Fall is peak season for big game fishing, running from September through November. This period brings yellowfin tuna, blue and black marlin, and sailfish. The legendary Bisbee's Black and Blue Tournament takes place during this time, attracting tournament anglers from around the world.

December offers multiple species including striped marlin, wahoo, dorado, and yellowfin tuna, making it an excellent month to plan your fishing adventure.

What's Included in Your Charter

Each deep sea fishing charter includes a professional captain and experienced crew trained in fish handling and safety protocols. You'll have access to modern, well-maintained fishing vessels equipped with state-of-the-art gear and navigation technology.

All fishing equipment and tackle is provided, including rods, reels, and bait. Your charter operator will arrange your Mexican fishing license, so you don't need to worry about the paperwork. Throughout your trip, you'll enjoy refreshments and snacks to keep you energized.

Most charters offer fish cleaning and filleting services so you can take your catch home prepared and ready to cook. Our crews also provide photography assistance to capture your trophy moments.

Fish Species You Can Catch

Billfish represent the ultimate trophy in sport fishing. Striped marlin are available year-round with peak season from November through April. Blue marlin are most abundant during summer months from June through November. Black marlin appear during summer and fall (July–October), while sailfish are caught primarily during summer and fall months.

Premium game fish offer exciting action for all skill levels. Yellowfin tuna are available year-round with peak fishing from December through November. Dorado (mahi-mahi) are best caught spring through fall. Wahoo are available year-round with strong presence from June through December. Roosterfish are caught year-round with peak season from May through August.

Inshore species like snappers, groupers, and other bottom dwellers are excellent for families and beginners who want to experience the thrill of fishing in calmer, shallower waters.

Booking Your Deep Sea Fishing Charter

Getting started is simple. First, choose your trip type by selecting between half-day, full-day, or extended full-day options based on your experience level and fishing goals. Next, pick your dates and check our seasonal calendar to target your preferred fish species.

Confirm your group size and let us know how many people will be joining your adventure. Review available amenities and inquire about onboard services, meals, and special accommodations that may be available.

We recommend reserving during peak seasons when demand is highest. Booking in advance ensures you get your preferred dates and boat selection.

What to Bring and Know Before You Go

Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are essential for protection from intense sun exposure. Wear lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing and bring non-slip footwear for safety on deck.

Your Mexican fishing license is typically arranged by your captain, but confirm this in advance. Bring a camera or GoPro to capture your trophy moments and share your adventure with friends and family.

If you're prone to seasickness, have medication on hand just in case. Remember that deep sea fishing requires stamina, so be prepared for an active day on the water. Good physical fitness will help you enjoy the experience to the fullest.

Why Our Charters Stand Out

We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional experiences that go beyond just catching fish. We practice conservation-focused fishing with catch-and-release techniques for billfish. Our crews are trained in safe handling and participate in tagging programs to support marine research.

We offer personalized service where you can build relationships with the same crew on repeat visits. Safety is our top priority, with all crew members trained in first aid and CPR.

We have a flexible weather policy that allows you to reschedule at no cost if conditions are unsafe. Most importantly, we have a proven track record of consistent success with satisfied anglers returning season after season.
