Capt. Javier runs trips out of Cabo San Lucas aboard a 32' Luhrs. These waters are known for Marlin and Mahi and he will show you how to catch them. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Three Days of Fishing Heaven

    Full Day 8 hours only boat price • 4 adults

    An outstanding fishing experience. We fished for three days with What a Journey. The Captain and crew could not have been better. We were always one the first boats on the fishing ground. The crew was well prepared with the fishing gear. We caught 7 Marlin and 3 dorado in the three days. When the fishing was slow, the Captain and crew made adjustments and changes to increase our chances. I will always fish with What a Journey when I visit Cabo San Lucas. Thank you Captain.

    8 hours trip( no incluid licence) • 2 adults

    Couldn’t have had a better trip. They did all the work and we reeled ‘em’ in. I’m glad we didn’t catch anymore or my arm would be sore for days. The boat, crew, captain, lunch, and equipment was top notch. Reach out to him on FB for more information.

Tropical storms may threaten but, when the weather allows, this is one of the best months for fishing. You'll find big Yellowfin Tuna, Blue and Black Marlin, and Sailfish to name a few offshore, with Roosterfish in the bay.
