angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

When it comes to fishing, it truly is a family tradition for Capt. Manuel – all of his cousins brothers and his father are avid anglers, too! Capt. Manuel has been fishing since 2001, and has been a licensed captain since 2009. He loves the excitement of chasing and reeling in different types of fish, as well as helping his guests hook their first – or best! – catch. Join him on board the 31' Bertram "Black Marlin" and get ready to be welcomed into his fishing family. Capt. Manuel knows this water of Cabo San Lucas as his owns hands, he always find fish becouse he knows where they are and he knows what they like to eat. Thank you and see you on the dock.

8 Hour Trip on July 8, 2025

Trip of a lifetime!

Had an unforgettable trip on The Black Marlin. Went out in July for an 8 hour trip. Communication was great before the trip and we were set for a 6:00am launch. You can buy fishing licenses there just opposite of the dock entrance. Day licenses were US$20/person. Kevin met us at the dock entrance and took us down to The Black Marlin where we met Captain Manuel. We launched soon after boarding and had an opportunity to get some beverages/snacks at the Marina market which is on the way out...

Manuel and Jesus were welcoming, great communication and worked hard to catch fish. It was very rough waters but they kept at it. Slow start with 2 yellowtail tuna, but about halfway through the 8 hours they located a pod of dolphins and tuna travels with dolphins... So within two hours we hit our limit of 10 tuna for the two of us. At one point we had 3 on at once, so much fun!!!! The boat was solid in rough seas. Can't beat an ol' Bertram. One thing nobody mentions is what happens with...
