El Budster 

First mate got pretty upset when I plugged the toilet first half hour into the trip. He says “toilet paper clogged no good” but I’m not sure it wasn’t the lunker I laid in there bigger than the bonito the wife caught first thing. We hooked into a marlin for a second then came off. I fish a lot a lot and it was pretty awkward trying to hold the pole in the seat on top of knowing my poo was overflowing in the bathroom. It sucked but nothing bad on their captain or first mate.

the captain has a sixth sense on where to find fish. and Omar, the deckhand is simply the best. The owner, not the boat crew, we felt is a little to greedy. Where other charters prices were the sae prce, they were all inclusive (food, drink, food, bait) he charged for everything. (box lunch $25, bait $50 for 10 live bait and we only 8 plus dead bait, etc) after all that, we had to pay a dock fee. yes, only a buck apiece but by that time, it felt over the top. Again, the crew (who are part of the paying process) and experience was almost worth the frustration. yes, the post did say it to bring your own food and drink. And it did say they only troll. What they didn't say was how much extra they would gouge you for te food and bait and hidde fees. Extra hint for first timers in Cabo, you could just troll, but you will be more successful with ballyhoo rigged trolls and live bait.

This boat and their office is 3 minutes from the cruise ship tender dock and is very clearly signed! Public restrooms are right next door. The Captain, mate and boat were ready to go, picking up baitfish from a small boat on the way out of the harbor. Within an hour Capt Francesco guided us to a 9 foot Black Marlin that went aerial b4 landing in the boat! While 1st mate Omar expertly prepped another baitfish we landed a nice Mahi-Mahi b4 chasing tuna with all the other boats. Leaving the other boats behind, Capt put us on another Marlin and after a half hour and numerous leaps the 10 foot Striped Marlin was at the boat🎣 After a few quick pictures it was released as we'd all agreed. My wife and I are experienced fishermen around the globe and this was absolutely fantastic. After getting skunked at Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan we were very happy to fish with these new friends! We're already planning our return to fish with them for big Tuna. Many Thanks To you all 🎣

Francisco & Onar went out of their way to give us an amazing fishing trip. We caught the largest sailfish I have ever seen in person, a big female dorado (which we brought home for dinner) and lots of smaller dorado, skipjack tuna, and a huge lemon shark. The boat is great and the equipment is top of the line. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!!

We couldn’t commend El Budster and our crew -- captain Francisco and first mate Omar -- more. Within the first hour after we set off, we landed three mahi-mahi and shortly thereafter, a 140 or so pound marlin. The boat was immaculate, and Omar made sure to clean it constantly during our trip. We were also fortunate to see humpback whales and dolphin breaching alongside our boat. We could not have asked for a more professional, kinder, or better crew. We highly recommend El Budster to anyone looking for a fishing adventure in Cabo.

unfortunately due to hurricane port was closed for our original AM half day trip on wednesday, we rescheduled for monday PM (as this was what was available) and went out with El Budster Pride and came back with a massive wahoo! always a good time with el budster charters this is our 5th trip with them and we always catch fish and have a fantastic time.

Where do I start ? Ive done alot of chartes but this one is first on the list ! The captain and crew very very knowledgeable of the waters, they brought exciting energy and were hyping us up ! They worked very hard to put us on fish. We caught a Huge Marlin and a bigggggg yellow fin tuna! Will always fish with them anytime I am in town. Cant wait to come back

We had a great time limiting out in mahi and even caught a bonus striped marlin. Captain got us on fish and helped us out a lot. Two guys had never been offshore before and by the end of the day they landed 6 mahi and a striped marlin! the mate omar was great with instructions and not over coaching. Made for a great morning and an unforgettable memory. Would reccommend to beginners and advanced anglers. This is my second trip on The El Budster in three years and over delivered both times. Highly Recommend.

I have fished three times with Fernando and Omar and will continue to do so. They work hard all day long to ensure your best chance to catch fish and go out of there way to maximize your comfort and enjoyment. They keep the boat clean will take care of getting your license and any food or drinks ahead of time. Top notch!

My two sons (27 & 30) had a good experience onboard the El Budster. We purchased a 5 hour fishing trip which yielded a nearly 5 ft long 55 lb wahoo. The Captain and mate were knowledgeable and experienced. They provided resources to have the wahoo cleaned. We had a meal prepared with it by Wizzie’s Bar and Grill. It was fantastic!!
