    From Sea Sick to Sick Catch!!

    Half Day Charter (AM)2 adults

    Absolute Pros.From the pre trip communication, ease of understanding costs (included and not), and expert captain and first mate in skills and effort. My best friend was sea sick for most the trip and they did everything in their power to get us fish. We landed two keeper Dorado and couldn't be more pleased. For all the uncertainty a place like Cabo can have El Budster Crew were solid. Would recommend to anyone! (and did as we walked our catch up the dock to the restaurant to have it prepared)

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    Wonderful first time going after big fish!

    Full Day Trip3 adults

    My 18-year-old son, 21-year-old daughter and I had a great experience on El Budster yesterday. First and foremost, Crew Tony and Captain Luis worked their tails off for us. Luis asked what we were hoping to catch, and warned me that my hoped-for tuna weren’t running in large numbers in early August. I was ready for it to be fishing and not catching, but with 5 lines running almost all the time Tony was able to hook us a 74”sailfish and a 68 lb tuna and woth his coaching my kids and i landed them. We released the sailfish and brought the tuna to Griselda’s for processing and packing so we can bring it home. The pre-trip communication was very clear, amd we chose to accept their offer of bagged lunches and waters for extra $. They will help you get fishing licenses if you need them — be sure to also have them with you at the airport if you will take fish home. The licenses cost extra and I needed cash for live bait and extra ice since we were going after tuna, which were further out. Thank you, Tony and Luis, for a great introduction to sportfishing!

    Stellar Fishing Experience!!!

    Full Day Trip3 adults1 child

    Francisco & Onar went out of their way to give us an amazing fishing trip. We caught the largest sailfish I have ever seen in person, a big female dorado (which we brought home for dinner) and lots of smaller dorado, skipjack tuna, and a huge lemon shark. The boat is great and the equipment is top of the line. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!!

    This is the boat and crew you want!

    Full Day Trip2 adults

    I have fished three times with Fernando and Omar and will continue to do so. They work hard all day long to ensure your best chance to catch fish and go out of there way to maximize your comfort and enjoyment. They keep the boat clean will take care of getting your license and any food or drinks ahead of time. Top notch!

    Epic day catching epic Fish

    ALL INCLUSIVE FISHING TRIP 3 PAX3 adults

    it was an amazing day of fishing with a great captain and deck hand. Spent the first few hours trolling and didn’t catch anything. Got a little worried. We were gonna come back empty-handed. But the captain and deckhand changed course and changed up the lures and located a group of dolphins which let us write to some trophy size tuna. On the way back, they also spotted a marlin which we were able to hook and bring in. One of the best fishing trips we’ve ever been on.

    Reported catch:
    Striped Marlin
    Yellowtail Amberjack
