Four of us got on the boat (Viviana IV) at 7:00 am and departed quickly to pick up some live bait.  Headed straight out for about 1 1/2 hrs, water was really, really choppy and the boat was really rocking until about noon.  We only saw one or two other boats on the water all day.  Fishing reports were all said low catches.  We were all getting pretty frustrated, but then it was “fish on” and got the first hit of the day, a yellow fin tuna that was caught on a purple, glittered, jig.  The water was still pretty rough, but it was on.  The waves started to settle down and within the hour, “fish on” again with a skipjack on the same lure.  Next, within 1/2 hour, “fish on” again with another skipjack on the same lure.  In between, we lost two marlins and two tuna.  Our captain and mate then saw another marlin circling the area, live bait was thrown out and the marlin took the bait, but got off.  We circled back and threw out another live bait, and this time it was “fish on” and after a 45 minute back and forth fight, we landed a 140 lb beautiful striped marlin.  All of us caught a fish and it was a GREAT day of fishing!  Outstanding crew with a great sense of humor.  Highly recommend this boat and crew.  We will use them again when we return, and so should you.  I sound like a commercial, but there’s nothing like the thing.  The owners of the boat also met us after we returned - super nice people.

We gave the captain and mate 1/2 of the marlin.  They called the company located at the marine.  They pickup the fish at the boat and filleted all the fish for $20 USD.  Don’t forget to tip the person filleting the fish.  We took two large bags of fish back to our hotel and gave it to the hotel restaurant to prepare grilled and sashimi style - the best ever for our group of 17! It doesn’t get any better.  We had so much uncooked fish, we gave the rest to the hotel staff. 

Life is good in Cabo San Lucas - the best sport fishing in the world!  You just have to believe!

What an amazing day!  Capt. Roberto and his crew were awesome, the boat was fantastic! We had 9 people in our group and everyone got to pull in at least 1 fish which was awesome.  The highlight though was fighting 2 hammerhead sharks! What an experience! And then having the fresh fish prepared on the dock right there was the best lunch/meal we had in Cabo! I can’t recommend Viviana’s enough and I can’t thank them enouogh for what turned out to be a bucket list check mark adventure!

Great trip!!!  My son and I were on the 26ft, single crew/captain ship.  Full day is a long day.  We had a successful fish, caught Skipjack, 20lbs Mahi Mahi, and 125 Marlin.  Victor put us on some fish.  Highly recommend!!!  One thought, the 26ft is a smaller boat for the conditions we were in.  We were being tossed around all day, the water is rough.  But I would do it again!!!!

Jose (Capt) and Pedro (1st mate) were great people to spend a half day with.  We focused on inshore looking for roosterfish then others.  It was not a good day for the bite - it appeared that all boats were struggling to find fish . . . but Jose and Pedro put in a lot of effort to find them (changing locations, changing bait, etc).  For the second half of the trip, we focused on bottom fishing and landed 8-12 various fish (enough for a good lunch!).  I recommend the company, and Jose and Pedro - but I wish a couple things would have been different.

When we were bottom fishing, Jose and Pedro were actually fishing and then would hand us the rod once a fish had been hooked.  I would have preferred that we were trying to hook and land.  Also, even though we did not catch classic ‘picture fish’ (rooster, dolphin fish, etc) it would have been nice to get a picture at the end with our catch.  To be fair, I did not push for it . ..

Jose and Pedro both spoke / understood enough English for us to communicate, and other than these two small items the trip was great.  Fantastic communication from the company - much appreciated!

Good crew, good boat, ok fishing, no complaints.  It’s fishing and you always hope for more fish.  We caught ten Skipjack amongst our group so at least we had action.  Many boats that day didn’t catch anything.  Our captain kept changing things up until we were catching fish.  Great weather.  We had the fish filleted at a local business as soon as we stepped off the boat for a great price while we went and had lunch.  I’m coming back in November and will charter again with this company.
