The morning started with Rueben asking what kind of fish we wanted to go after. I told him I made the mistake of choosing last time in Cabo and caught nothing with a different Charter company and we would go after whatever he and Roberto felt would give us the best odds. The trip started off quickly with 3 Yellowtail and a white Tuna on our first set trolling. From there it got slow for a long time like it often can when trolling. However, Rueben continued to work the lines, rig fresh baits and change the artificial lures all along. At about noon when even I was fading from watching the back of the boat for hours my wife and Rueben saw a Mako jump out of the water astern. In an instant we went from trolling 6 knots to 16 knots with 7 lines in the water and a wild man at the Helm. Captain Roberto made some of the most aggressive maneuvers at high speed with all those lines out to circle back three times in the area where we saw the Mako. On the third pass we hooked up on this Striped Marlin and reeled him in for about 15 minutes. Both the Captain and Mate did a great job landing this fish. The most exciting part for me as a licensed boat captain was to watch Roberto step into high gear. Shortly after we ended our day with a couple happy fisherman and a couple green passengers, but overall it was a great experience.

I might add that Kim, the owner/operator of the fleet, was excellent in communicating all leading up to the day of our trip and greeted us afterwards on the dock.

No question, I will fish again with the Viviana’s fleet next time in Cabo!!

We had a great time on Viviana’s Second Chance. The captian and first made did an excellent job trying to get us a catch, we came up empty but it wasn’t because of lack of effort. That’s why they call it fishing! Running multiple lines and changing lures and bait throughout the morning, we just couldn’t get a bite. They also were able to provide champagne and orange juice that my fiance had secretly requested, it was a nice touch and it shows they truly want to accommodate their customers. I would go out again with this crew anytime.

Our family of 3 went out for 2 days on 9/11 and 9/13. We arrived at the boat at 630, Captain Nick and staff had our fishing license & bait ready, after we loaded up our lunch for the day, Captain Nick and first mate Chef talk to us about what had been caught so far in Sept, Captain Nick exceeded our expectations in every way! Captain Nick and First Mate Chef worked hard to find and keep us on fish.  I’ve been on other charters and you never know what to expect out of the captain - but I feel like we walked on this boat as strangers and walked off as friends. Captain Nick and First Mate Chef are top notch people, extremely knowledgeable, and gave us a memorable experience that we won’t soon forget. We caught 9 dolphin, one 125 lb striped marlin, and one 50 + LB whoo, This was my 6 fishing trip in 3 years with Viviana Fleet.The boat was very clean, and professional laid out for big game fishing.
The boat was equipped with Shimano and Penn International Reel, and Custom Rods, 10 Total.
4 big game fishing lures bags were also on the boat to catch anything that lives in the Cabo waters. Our family will surely be back,
Kim , Thank you again for a great fishing trip in Cabo

The boat and crew were great unfortunately we only caught a few none keepers. We have fished in Cabo several times and have had up and down trips so nothing against the crew. The crew tried very very hard to put us on fish but is was not a good day. We have friends that live in Cabo and they said that fishing was up and down for the past few weeks so our hopes were high but our expectations were realistic. We also heard that other boats had a tough day as well. We will definitely use Vivana’s Sportfishing again.

We were picked up promptly at Noon on February 26 by the captain and mate of Viviana IV, It took us almost 15 minutes to get our licenses so it was about 12:15 before we left the harbor. The captain had asked me about what we would like to do and told me that the morning fishing had “not been easy”. They had caught no fish that morning. I told him that I would like to start out trolling for gamefish but if this was not productive then I would like to try to catch some snapper and/or grouper. We trolled about one to one and a half hours up the coast toward San Jose del Cabo, but did not even have a strike. About 1:30 PM we reached one of the bottom fishing banks and stopped and dropped 2 lines. We began catching silver snapper and a couple of sea bass. We continued this for about 2 hours and eventually caught about 13 small fish. then we converted back to trolling and headed back to Cabo San Lucas. We did not catch any larger fish again and arrived back at the docks about 4:45 PM. I know that fishing is very unpredictable, but I was disappointed since the following day the Viviana IV caught a billfish and a wahoo. I also felt like we should have stayed out another half hour to give us a full five hours of fishing.
