What A Journey Sportfishing is your ticket to the stunning waters of Cabo San Lucas.
Species like Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Sierra Mackerel, Skipjack Tuna, Wahoo, Roosterfish, Bonito, Gray Triggerfish, Swordfish, and more are in the cards, depending on the time of year. For these species, you’re likely to troll using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Javier can also have you kite fishing.
You’ll be casting lines from a 32’ Luhrs sportfishing vessel fishing with room for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Javier will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. .
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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.
Don’t leave home without sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Lunch is provided, just reach out to learn more, especially if you have any dietary needs.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in Cabo San Lucas for yourself, with What A Journey Sportfishing!

An outstanding fishing experience. We fished for three days with What a Journey. The Captain and crew could not have been better. We were always one the first boats on the fishing ground. The crew was well prepared with the fishing gear. We caught 7 Marlin and 3 dorado in the three days. When the fishing was slow, the Captain and crew made adjustments and changes to increase our chances. I will always fish with What a Journey when I visit Cabo San Lucas. Thank you Captain.

8 hours trip( no incluid licence)
Couldn't have had a better trip. They did all the work and we reeled 'em' in. I'm glad we didn't catch anymore or my arm would be sore for days. The boat, crew, captain, lunch, and equipment was top notch. Reach out to him on FB for more information.
