Before booking this trip I did a bit of homework. I checked many boats and this one had a lot of positive reviews. Price is average among other boats but knowledge is priceless. Trip does not include a license or bait which is a must have. I originally booked a half day trip solo and ended up on a full day. 
Ths was my very first time in Cabo and I was targeting Mahi Mahi or Marlin. I haven’t fished deep sea for over 25 years. My experience is a avid angler. Fished off one day charters from San Diego into Ensenada Mexican waters. My personsl best was a 35lb. Dorafo and 45lb. Bluefin.

In shortt, hooked up 3 Striped Marlin and landed 2. This boat is very experienced. They can find and get you on fish quickly. Be prepared to get soaked and physically challenged if hooked on. This was an Epic Trip!  Thanks captain! Will be back again!

We had an absolutely incredible day aboard the Ursula IV! We’ve been on more than 15 fishing charters in places like Punta Cana, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Hawaii, Boston, Marco Island, Key West and other destinations, and this was hands down the best fishing trip we’ve ever experienced.

Captain Manuel and mate Miguel were outstanding. Their knowledge, experience, and work ethic were obvious from the moment we left the marina. Within about 10 minutes we were already catching bonito for bait. Our first tuna spot had a lot of boats, but instead of waiting around, Captain Manuel made the decision to move. It turned out to be the perfect call, we were immediately hooked up to a monster 110 lb yellowfin tuna! Throughout the day, the crew never stopped working. Miguel was constantly preparing bait, ensurng multiple lines were out, and doing everything possible to keep the action going.

The fishing was unbelievable. We landed three yellowfin tuna weighing approximately 110 lbs, 130 lbs, and 50 lb., caught several bonito, a 120 lb striped marlin, and on the ride back to the marina, Captain Manuel said he thought we still had a chance at a wahoo. Sure enough, he was right! We finished the day with an approximately 30 lb wahoo. It was truly one of those fishing trips you’ll remember forever.

A couple of tips for future guests: If there’s any chance of bad weather, wait until your trip is confirmed before purchasing your fishing licenses, since the Port Captain can close the harbor for safety and trips may need to be rescheduled. Not the Charter’s fault! They do not have any control over this. Also, be prepared to pay ~$40 for live bait and ~$21 per persn for fishing licenses. Ask ahead of time about any additional costs so there are no surprises when you arrive.

We can’t recommend the Ursula IV enough. We would book with them again without hesitation!

This was our first deep sea fishing trip and it couldnt have been any better!! My husbabd and I and our 5 kids (ages **hidden content** and 10) did the full day trip. We caught 3 Marlin, 1 Mahi Mahi and 1 Blue Wahoo! Manuel and Sammy were the best guides. We had an absolute blast and will definitely be back! We would highly recommend doing this trip!

If you have anybody that gets motion sickness, I would take something the night before and morning of. Also bring extra pesos or usd for getting bait and fishing licenses. We also brought a cooler of drinks and sandwiches and snacks.

Captain and crew were absolute first class in every respect - and are outstanding fisherman. Local men that have fished the area for decades. Guys had so much patience with my kids and family. Got back to the dock, and see that others boats came back without fish, not us. action packed and highlighted by a 90 lb yellowfin. highly recommend

Slow day of fishing with my two sons, I will blame on the eclipse, it was not the boat, the mate or the fishermen ;) ...but the we fished hard all day…and after 7 hours we landed a 30 lbs Wahoo, that was delicious three ways, and that made it a great day. My sons wanted to go back again the next day!
