    Excellent crew and boat.

    Full Day Trip - All Included on November 1, 2026 • 5 adults

    The capitan and crew worked very hard for a full day they stayed out extra time giving it their best. Unfortunately El Nino weather had the ocean 6ºF warmer than usual for the time of year wich likely had something to do with why we were unable to catch any fish this time. The boat was very comfortable and all our needs and requests were taken care of. The captian Casey is very experienced and had many entertaining stories of Cabo in the past decades.

    Great Captain and crew

    Full Day Trip on October 20, 2026 • 4 adults

    Our Captain and crew were great. We opted for the Captain’s wife to prepare breakfast and the home made breakfast burrito’s were great. The included lunch, snacks be beverages we opted for were plentiful and good. Sadly we on landed one 45# sailfish, but that is “fishing!” Anyway I would recommend this boat and crew to all.

    BIG FISH!!!

    Full Day Trip - All Included on March 19, 2026 • 5 adults

    Booked a full day with hopes of lots of big fish. Fishing was tough and slow., not going to lie, but thats fishing. saw lots of Whales and Marlin jumping so that was awesome. Got a nice Mahi to the boat that got away, few hours later a nice skip jack tuna. After 6 plus hours we pressed on. Few good bites and all of a sudden, BOOM!!!! Fish on. My 19 year old son took the rod and began the fight of a lifetime. We had hooked a 10ft - 130 plus pound Striped Marlin!!!! Captian and crew are top notch, never quit, and got us on the fish of a lifetime. Boat is excellent, crew is excellent, Captian is first class. 5 Stars,. Would book again everyday of the week if i could. WE WILL BE BACK.

    Awesome day of fishing on a solid comfortable boat with an attentive crew and captain

    Half Day Trip – All included on February 17, 2026 • 5 adults

    Our day of fishing was a great success with a catch including one large dorado, three skipjacks, and twelve Mexican Sierra. The pre trip communication was excellent, licenses obtained before our excursion, bait fish and fishing equipment was ready to go, and the snacks, beverages, and sandwiches were tasty and fresh. The boat is a solid and comfortable 45 foot walkaround and the captain and crew were attentive and skilled. I highly recommend Captain Casey, his two man crew, and this boat.

    Birthday Marlin fishing

    Half Day Trip – All included on April 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    We went out chasing Marlin for my birthday while down in Cabo. Captain Casey and crew were awesome, his wife even packed up a little birthday cake and candle. Captain Casey is one of the last remaining guys from the early 80s who have spent their life fishing Cabo, with some awesome stories and knowledge to share. Spotted a couple Marlin but cards wernt in our favor this trip, but thas how bill fishing goes sometimes! We will defnitely book again for round two next trip down.

As a Hawaiiian born and son of a fisherman I had a rod in my hand from my earliest memories. I fished with my father around the world including the Indian Ocean,Hawaii, Bay of Bengal, Gulf of Siam, West Coast USA. As I became older the attraction of fishing in Cabo San Lucas became my dream, I started in the fleet in 1983, moved to the Cape and never looked back.Its been 34 years of hardcore fishing thruout the Baja Peninsula, Sea of Cortez, and the west coast of mainland Mexico Life is good and we are out again tomorrow!

    Fantastic experience. Great communication and instructions leading up to the trip. The boat was very clean and I loved that you could walk all the way around it. The seeating in the front was a bonus as it was very comfortable and gave great views and fresh air. Captain was very plesant and experienced. We hooked on to a Wahoo while trolling but did not land. We landed a striped marlin using live bait and then landed a second while trolling back toward harbor. Also saw dolphin, turtles and sea lions. Exceptional trip! Thank you!
