Fish Tale's is here to show you the stunning waters of Cabo San Lucas. Captain Ricardo will be your guide, bringing aboard years of angling experience.

Black Grouper, Yellowtail Amberjack, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Striped Marlin, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Ricardo runs a 31' Bertram that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation. You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Capt. Ricardo welcomes children aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. It's always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Fish Tale's and get hooked!

    Great Crew, great trip

    Half Day Trip on July 28, 2026 • 4 adults

    Caesar is an excellent captain that knows his business and tries super hard to put you on fish. The boat is in good shape with excellent gear (Rapala rods and what looked like new Avet reels), and handles rough waves well (we put it to the test going out while Hurricane Genevieve cranked up some nasty swells just off the coast). They got out to the fishing grounds quickly and worked hard to find us fish. After a couple of hours we hooked into a nice size sailfish and got it in the boat. Another hour later we had another strong bite but no hook up. By this time we were already over our half day time by an hour, but they were determined to get us another fish and only called it a day when we asked them to on account of my son being very seasick by that point (He said it was worth it and he'd do it again ten times over). I'd highly recommend them and will book with them again the next time I go to Cabo. 5 stars and a great price to boot.

    Perfect half day experience!

    Half Day Trip on February 18, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Even before the fishing day, communication with the captain was wonderful. I had booked this trip with my mom and two pre-teen sons and had a few questions which were answered extremely quickly. The captain was very straight forward with all aspects, and wanted to cater our trip to our liking, which was wonderful. We chose to chase marlin, right away in the morning we had a very large fish surface and we went after it. It went deep and never chased. We ended up catching a skip jack tuna while trolling with no other takers. After a couple hours, the captain asked if we wanted to try bottom fishing so the boys could catch some fish. We agreed and ended up with 17 tilefish in less than 30 mins. We then shifted back to trolling and saw another marlin, but no luck. The captain and his first mate went way above and beyond trying different baits, presentations, and locations. To me this was a world class experience made possible by Ricardo, our Captain. When we return to Cabo, we will absolutely be booking here again!

    Fish on.

    Half Day Trip on January 7, 2025 • 2 adults

    The crew performed flawlessly, finding the fish, getting the strike, setting the hook and helping land the catch. An unforgettable memory watching and fighting the fish as it tail walked across the water. Great captain and crew. Highly recommend.

    Awesome trip!

    Half Day Trip on October 27, 2024 • 3 adults

    We all know why it’s called fishing. Today’s trip we did some catching. We met the crew at the agreed time. The crew worked hard to make our experience first class. They are experts in catching fish in their local waters. There were three of us and we all enjoyed our time on the boat. Highly recommended using Fish Tale’s if you’re looking to catch fish and enjoy the ride.

    This fishing trip set the bar pretty high!

    Full Day Trip on May 16, 2024 • 1 adult

    I had a great time on Fish Tale’s with Captain Ricardo and his First Mate Jose Alberto! This was my first trip out here in Cabo and when I come back I’ll go with Fish Tale’s again. These guys are great fishermen, they put me on 5 Striped Marlin and could of caught more but I was pretty tired so we cut the trip short.

    Hard working and fun

    Half Day Trip on July 6, 2024 • 3 adults

    Epic day. Ricardo brought us to the marlin and Thomas was relentless at keeping the troll spaced and baited at exactly the right times. We saw 7 marlin and a wahoo, and bought in 2 of the 3 that bit, of the bigger marlin (which took some work). Best crew in cabo, yet. We will see them again in November.
