Yellowfin Tuna Fishing |deep sea fishing Charters in Cabo

Premium Tuna Fishing at Puerto Los Cabos Marina

Experience world-class yellowfin tuna fishing in San Jose del Cabo with Exotic Fish Cabo. Departing from the exclusive Puerto Los Cabos marina, our private charters put you closer to the legendary Gordo Banks and Iman Bank hotspots—where trophy tuna over 200 pounds strike year after year.

Unlike crowded Cabo San Lucas charters, our San Jose location means shorter runs to offshore fishing grounds. You'll spend more time battling powerful yellowfin and less time riding. From June through November, the Sea of Cortez delivers non-stop action for anglers chasing that bucket-list catch.

Yellowfin Tuna Season in Los Cabos

The best time for tuna fishing in Cabo runs from June through November, with peak action typically from August to October. During these months, yellowfin schools gather 20-40 miles offshore near temperature breaks, bait balls, and porpoise pods.

But here's what savvy anglers know: San Jose del Cabo's position on the Sea of Cortez gives you first shot at migrating tuna schools moving up from the south. While Cabo San Lucas boats fight marina traffic, we're already at the fishing grounds.
