If fishingbooker allows a 10 point review once per year, I will give it to Manuel family and their boat. I will not go fishing in Cabo without them and their boat. Simply, good people and nice people. We startrd our great day with 5 skipjack tunas and 1 bonito in the firsr 45 mins. The second 45 mins is for one Mahi Mahi. Little past 3 hrs mark, we hooked up a giant yellowfin tuna! I was not aware of the size while it was definitely a classic TV sportfishing fight if not better than TV episode. I fought for 70 mins with help of Manuel Jr. and I was in borderline of both physical and mental exhaustion. We got it up 3 times. It dove down in the first time before we get it up. The third time, after seeing its massive body (~100 lbs, ~5 ft), line break. It is the most aggresive physical fight of my life and I was simply happy after hour long+ fight. I will come back to finish the unfinished business and more in the future! I simply appreciate their work and grateful of everything.

thank you for fishing with us and see you next time
It was a trip to rember with my dad, one ill never forget. We started the morning off greeted by the Captain and his son. We got established on there boat and felt very welcome and comfortable. We got set up and started trolling, only an hour and half in the trip we got double up on two striped marlin one of the best experiences with my dad. It was an intense battle all the way until the end. We got both to the boat but one of them came off because it waa hooked directly in the eye. at least we got one to take a picture with. Then a couple hours went by and the captain and his son let us know we might not catch anything during the mid day. So we were just like its cool and we were chilling for a couple hours when 11 rolled by and a Blue marlin came in for one of the lures and absolutely started dumping the reel. They got us set up for the fight and we were on for the fight of our lives. Took about and 1hr 45min too reel in the blue marlin between me and my dad. Definitely something to never forgot when we landed that blue marlin absolutely amazing and beautiful fish. Would recommend to anyone who willing to test there luck out there these guys know what there doing.

Our experience with Black Marlin Sportfishing was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The captain and crew were professional, knowledgeable, and worked incredibly hard all day to put us on fish. Thanks to their experience and persistence, we hooked and successfully landed a large striped marlin—a memory that will last a lifetime. What impressed me most was how calm, coordinated, and encouraging the crew was throughout the fight. They gave clear instructions, worked seamlessly together, and did everything possible to make sure we landed the fish safely. Their passion for fishing and dedication to their customers was evident every step of the way. If you're looking for a first-class fishing charter in Cabo San Lucas, I can't recommend Black Marlin Sportfishing highly enough. Whether you're an experienced angler or it's your first time chasing marlin, this is the crew you want on your side. Thank you for an unforgettable day on the water!

thank you so much for your great review and hope to see you soon again
Our day started out perfect with a double hookup on Striped Marlin. We landed one and lost the other. We followed this up with a beautiful Mahi, then a double hookup on Mahi. After less than 3 hours of fishing, we had released a beautiful marlin, had 3 Mahi onboard, and had 3 seasick teenagers in big seas. I asked Captain Manuel to start trolling toward the harbor and pull up gear in a half hour. Well right before we pulled up gear, Captain Manuel spotted a huge Striped Marlin and made a move to get on him. 2 minutes later we hooked up and caught a jumbo marlin! In 3.5 hours of lines in the water, we hit at least 6 Mahi and 4 striped marlin. This crew is amazing. They're kind, fun, experienced, and constantly work hard to put you on fish and make your trip top notch. They run excellent gear and tackle. I can't possibly say enough good things. Truly Amazing.

hey thank you for fishing with us and see you next time
We didn't make it 20 minutes after passing the arch before the mahi started chasing after our lines! We set out with hopes of catching at least one or two large fish, fingers crossed it was either marlin or mahi. Never did we expect to hit our limit with most beautifully colored massive '3-5ft' mahi within the first 2 hours! We had a blast jamming out to our tunes while Captian Manuel put us on the fish we set out for. His mate, Junior, was absolutely on his stuff getting us ready for our big catches! 100% recommend to anyone looking to book a charter while visiting Cabo!

Thank you for fishing with us and I hope to see you soon again
