If exploring the famous fishery of Cabo San Lucas is at the top of your angling bucket list, get ready to cross it off with Puro Toro y Joanas Sportfishing! Run by English-speaking fishing fanatic Captain Aaron Chávez, you’ll be in for a treat when you step aboard his vessel for your adventure. He knows these waters like the back of his hand and can’t wait to have you hooking into some seriously incredible fish.

Capt. Aaron relocated to Cabo from Arizona, as he wanted to follow his dreams and turn his love for fishing into a career. Now here he is with his very own exciting and successful charter company! Previous customers have applauded Capt. Aaron’s wealth of knowledge and fluent English, as well as his ability to help anglers of all ages and skill levels fall in love with these waters. Even better? He’ll help you try out a range of fishing techniques, including fly fishing.

You’ll be fishing from your captain’s 25’ Panga, built to cruise a variety of waters. Depending on the trip you opt for, you’ll be traveling between 10–50 miles offshore, so this vessel’s 115 HP Yamaha engine will come in handy! You’ll reach the hotspots and honey holes in no time. There’s room for up to 3 guests on board, so bring along your best angling buddies or make this an intimate family vacation to remember.

Depending on the techniques you’d like to try out, the species you’ll be targeting will vary, but these waters are home to some seriously world-famous fish. Potential opponents include Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Snapper species, Roosterfish, Amberjack, Tuna, notorious Sharks, and plenty more. If you’re a keen fly fisher, bring along your favorite gear, and get ready to test your skills against some offshore hard-fighters.

Your trip will include conventional rods, reels, and tackle, and live bait is available for an additional cost. All you need to do is grab some snacks, drinks, and a fishing license, and come aboard Puro Toro y Joanas Sportfishing for an incredible adventure!

Aaron knows the waters and puts you in position to catch fish. He can target bottom, inshore and offshore types. All the equipment and boat is in good condition, safe will be ready when you decide to leave. He knows the local bait vendors and will find the right tackle for the trip. I highly recommend booking with him. I had two epic days catching the biggest dorado's you ever imagine.

We went Marlin hunting. During the day we sited a few but they were not hungry. Even though no fish was landed it is still fun to see these big fish.

Had a blast getting on Puro Toro! Got a handful of Mahi Mahi and had a good size marlin hooked up. It started jumping and shook itself off the line but such a great experience. Definitely recommend this trip!

"I moved down to Cabo from Arizona. I speak full English and my biggest passion is fishing, so I decided to find a way to get paid for doing what I love. This was a success, so here I am now!" Captain Aaron Chávez has been fishing a licensed captain since mid-2015 and worked as a first mate for many years before this, so it's safe to say he has a wealth of experience to share! He's always been an avid angler and moved to Mexico to pursue a career in this sport. As well as running a successful charter, he's also participated in the Tuna Jackpot, many Dorado tournaments, Siera tournaments, and Cabo San Lucas tournaments. Join him for a thrilling adventure on these waters!
