If you're planning to visit San Jose Del Cabo, use this as a chance to fish with Salty Dog Fishing Adventures! Captain Castillo has 38 years of fishing experience in the southern part of the Baja. Saying he's 'experienced' would be an understatement, as his knowledge goes far beyond. He comes from a family of fishermen, so you could say he has this in his blood.

You'll be fishing aboard Ramon's 32' Luhrs boat. This spacious vessel is powered by twin 300 HP Yanmar engines and can reach a maximum cruising speed of 20 knots. There's enough room for 6 guests to fish at the same time, so bring your fishing buddies or family along. The boat features a flybridge, private toilet, kitchen, and a cabin with an AC.

You'll head out up to 25 miles offshore to reach the spots where you can target Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, or Roosterfish. Not only you'll go fish that's a challenge to catch, but you'll also get a tasty meal, as the first mate Maria will gladly cook the fish for you.

Your fishing equipment is fully covered, live bait prepared in advance, and water cooled in the ice box. You can bring other drinks or anything else you might need. If you prefer, you can keep the catch for later and have it prepared in a restaurant.

Salty Dog Fishing Adventures will make sure your next fishing trip is an unforgettable experience. Taste the fish you caught before you even get back to the marina and learn a new fishing trick or two!

***** We're located in San Jose Del Cabo, which is 50 minutes away from Cabo San Lucas *****

No bad days when you're fishing!
Fishing Trip 8 Hours on April 1, 20266 adults

Fishing was decent. The captain tried his best to put us on fish. We trolled on the way to Gordo Banks and caught a Mahi Mahi. We tried for a bit to catch tuna but it was too hot sitting in the sun. We trolled some more to try for more Mahi Mahi or wahoo. We hooked into a marlin but it got off by the boat. We also caught a silky shark. All in all, it was a good trip. The captain and mate were very friendly, informative, and helpful.

Caught the biggest fish of our lives!
Fishing Trip 8 Hours on April 6, 20264 adults

We had a great time on La Sancha with Captain Ramon and his deck hand. We went out on a 7 hour trip and even though we only caught a few fish, one of them was a 250 pound Blue Marlin, that made the whole trip worth it! It was so much meat, we left it with the Captain to split with his deckhand and his family. The boat was also very comfortable and roomy so we enjoyed just crusing around and trolling for big catch!

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Blue Marlin

Response from Charter operator

Thank you so much for the review! We had an incredible time hosting your family. It was a thrill to help you hook into that beautiful striped marlin and wahoo, and that epic battle with the shark was certainly a highlight of the morning! We're so glad you had a successful day on the water and appreciate the recommendation. Hope to see you back on board soon.

Surprise Catch!
Fishing Trip 8 Hours on April 24, 20262 adults

Weather was beautiful, cool breeze and right temp. We would be just as contented if we just had a boat ride and no fish BUT we did catch 3 fish! Mahi Mahi, wahoo, & a shark!! The last one was a surprise as we were angling for a tuna. Baby shark was let go after a huge struggle to reel it in. Great time!

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Wahoo

Had a Great Day with Ramon
Fishing Trip 8 Hours on February 9, 20262 adults

Very good charter today. I have fished out of the San Jose marina many times and I think this was the best experience I've had. Ramon and his brother worked very hard and we caught both big tuna and Mahi Mahi. When they say the price includes everything, this is correct. You would normally spend over $100 for licenses, bait, lunch and processing. This was all included. Plan on booking them again next year.

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Yellowfin Tuna

Captain Castillo has been fishing for 38 years and he's been a licensed Captain for 25 years. He's coming from a long line of fishermen, so it was no wonder he chose to pursue this profession. He loves being on the boat and enjoys helping others to start fishing. One of the best moments is when someone who's never held a rod before catches their first fish thanks to Captain Castillo.
