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!

    The best captain in Cabo.

    Full Day Trip on September 20, 2021 • 2 adults

    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.

    Masterful fishing w/ Aaron & Miguel

    Full Day Trip on September 17, 2019 • 2 adults

    Been having a fantastic time aboard Puro Toro. These guys know what they're doing. Tuna, Dorado, Marlin: you name it, they find it. If I had kids i would certainly bring them along to experience this fishing and meet these nice people. Until then I wish to go out with these guys every day.

    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.

    5 hour morning trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on December 31, 2020 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Aaron speaks perfect English and was super proactive in communicating with us prior to the trip. Not the best time of year for fishing but he did a great job and we managed to catch a couple before heading back in.

    This boat should never be used.

    Full Day Trip on August 26, 2023 • 2 adults

    We booked two days of 8 hours each, but on the first day the captain said he thought it was only one day, and that was the first problem. The reservation was shown face to face and explained, but on the second day the captain had another small dirty boat and boatman with him and told us to take this boat without a proper explanation. The boatman was very rude and heaped more foul language on us than I can write here. I asked him what kind of attitude he had when our contract was for 8 hours and he said he was only told the contract was for 5 hours. I said I wanted to speak to Captain Aaron and he said to check it out for myself. I called Captain Aaron and tried to contact him using the message feature on this site but never heard back. This was the worst trip I have ever been on.
