Cabo San Lucas has a fish with your name on it, so let Karma Sportfishing help you catch it! Captain Raul will be your guide, which means you'll tap into years of professional experience.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Roosterfish, Wahoo, Swordfish, Sierra Mackerel, Yellowtail Snapper, Yellowtail Amberjack, and anything else that bites. On these trips, it's common to troll using both light and heavy tackle. Lures, Ballyhoo & Live Bait are all provided for you.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea – lucky for you, there will already be some on board!
Your adventure begins aboard the Desperado, a 33' Bertram with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a restroom and cold A/C on board for your convenience.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Captains & Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 15–20% tip.
Before coming aboard, the crew will ask for all guests' names so they can procure your MX fishing license the day before your trip.
Don't forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray) and sunglasses. There will be burritos, sandwiches, fruit, and some drinks on board. A small mercado is located close to the dock should you want to pick up anything additional prior to your trip.

Daniel KühnRepeat angler•
Germany•Member since 20225 trips5.0VerifiedTraumhafte Fänge in Mexiko, ein Tag, den ich nicht vergess
Full Day Trip – Guided Charter on April 3, 2026 • 1 adultIch habe über das Portal ein Guiding gebucht und insgesamt einen wirklich besonderen und gelungenen Angeltag erlebt. Wir haben großartige Fische gefangen, und gerade für mich als Angler aus Europa war das ein echtes Highlight solche Erlebnisse hat man nicht oft, und die Chance, hier auf diese Fischarten zu gehen, ist etwas ganz Besonderes. Das Boot war in sehr gutem Zustand, und auch die Ausrüstung hat einen hochwertigen Eindruck gemacht. Man hat gemerkt, dass sowohl der Captain als auch der Guide genau wissen, was sie tun! Ich waren die ganze Zeit gut betreut und konnten dadurch auch richtig schöne Fische landen. Besonders gefreut habe ich mich über die ersten Fänge, von denen wir auch Fotos gemacht haben. Gerade weil bestimmte Fische für mich etwas Einzigartiges sind, hätten wir uns vielleicht noch ein bisschen mehr Zeit oder Begeisterung beim Fotografieren gewünscht, aber das ist natürlich nur ein kleines Detail. Einziger kleiner Punkt, der mir aufgefallen ist: Am Ende des Trips wirkte die Verabschiedung etwas distanziert. Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass eventuell etwas Unklarheit bezüglich des Trinkgelds bestand, sicher bin ich mir aber nicht. Das hat den insgesamt sehr positiven Eindruck allerdings nur minimal getrübt. Unterm Strich war es für mich ein unvergesslicher Tag mit tollen Fängen, professioneller Betreuung und vielen besonderen Momenten. Ich würde das Guiding auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Half Day Trip – Guided Charter on January 26, 2026 • 5 adultsWe had a great trip. The weather was great and we caught three Striped Marlin. The boat was comfortable for accomodating the five of us. In addition to catching and seeing the marlin, we saw a lot of wild life (i.e., whales, dolphin, seals and birds). The captain and mate were courteous and helpful. We would do it again.

Trip for Michael Barite on July 29, 2025 • 4 adultsAfter a terrible experience with another boat in the same marina last week, this Captain and crew put us on the fish 2 minutes after the lines hit the water and lasted most of the morning. At one point my wife and 2 kids were pulling in tuna at the same time. It was chaotic and fun. Tried for marlin the last hour of the trip without any luck, but the tunapalozza all morning was more than enough. Thanks guys , see you again next year
Kristie Martin•Idaho, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedHappy 5 year old
Half Day Trip – Guided Charter on August 7, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 childOur 5 year old great nephew kept saying this was the best day of his life. That’s what it’s all about, as long as he is happy, then the adults are also happy. Crew was great, boat was great, fishing was good, not great, but any day out fishing is always a great day.

Captains Raul, Marcos, and Pancho run trips out of Cabo San Lucas aboard a 33' Bertram. These waters are known for Marlin and Mahi Mahi and they will show you how to catch them. With great knowledge of the area, they have a trick or two up their sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join them out on the water!
