Great crew…hard working and attentive. I have fished many times out of Cabo and San Jose. The Merengue is very clean, well equipped, and very stable for novice fishermen (2 of our companions). Lots of room on this 40fter for all 5 of us. We booked a half day excursion through Fishing Booker. Seamless booking experience. Came home with a nice dorado and marlin photos (released). Poncho the owner (not captain) was ready for us as soon as we arrived. bare bones, so you need your own food and licenses and pay for bait ($20). TuPac gave very good lessons to two of our guests, and moments later one of them hooked up a dorado. Great fun and all smiles.

Only 2 issues that for us should be addressed. I almost always book a half day, as I did on this trip, but they were ready to return to the marina at 10:45 am…hardly a half day.  On Fishing Booker it states 5 hours. We asked them to stay out longer, but we were still back at the dock at 11:15 am.  I have never had a half day that didn’t last until at least noon. Also, since we were fishing in beautiful weather at a slow time of year, some bottom fishing for grouper or snapper could have been fun. After all, we had the time. Or whale watching for 45 more minutes.

Otherwise, great guys and a great boat. Would definitely book again with some clarity up front first. Not the least expensive boat at Cabo, so be sure to get your money’s worth.

The fishing started out slow but the captain and first mate got us onto some good ground and we hooked 3 decent sized marlin. Fun time.

When most of the fleet want catching much, we landed a nice striped marlin and a Yellow fin tuna. The boat was in good shape & the fighting chairs are comfortable. If there was one thing I wished that the boat is equipped with is ice storage for the marlin. We caught ours early & had to head back within a few hours of catching the marlin in order to keep it fresh. If my son didn’t get sea sick, I may have been disappointed for paying for a full day. However, we caught exactly what we wanted so it was a great day regardless. The crew came through yyuuuuuge!!! It made our vacation!

Thank you for an epic day! We caught trophy dish, mahi mahi, some fun dorado and Sail & Marlin. Wow! Captain and crew were excellent! Thank you, we will be back!
