    Amazing Experience!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    What an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience! This was hands down the best fishing trip I’ve ever been on. I caught the biggest fish of my life—a 200-pound monster marlin —and it’s a memory I’ll never forget. The captain and crew were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and worked hard to make sure everyone had an unforgettable time. Their experience and dedication made all the difference. If you’re looking for an exciting fishing adventure, I highly recommend booking with them. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first trip, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to come back!

    The Fish So Nice, They Named It Twice: Mahi Mahi Edition

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 1 adult

    Great and clear communication. Great mate and captain, both hardworking. Great boat and equipment. I did a half-day trip. I wanted to catch marlin, but we settled with a beautiful Dorado (Mahi Mahi) fish, well over 30lbs. Such a fun fight! The coordinator Johnny was fast at answering all of my questions. I asked about getting a license online, which saved us time and allowed us to leave a few minutes early. It does take about 20-30 mins to get out to fishing waters. Before that, we stopped for picking up live and frozen bait for $30 cash, which I had asked about ahead of time. Then about half way into the trip, the mate changed out the lewers and that's when we got the hit! Just trust the process! About an hour later, one of the frozen baits was hit but not hooked, and thats when we saw her. A huge marlin! Sadly she did not want to bight for anything... just one of those days, but the captain and crew tried hard! I gave the captain a couple of cold ones to keep up the motivation. Once back, the mate and dock folks brought my fish up to the local cleaner, La Filetera, who charged a $15 cleaning fee and then a $3+ fee per pound, which wasn't as economical as Griselda's Smokehouse, but Griselda's was on the opposite side of the marina. Next time I would ask if I could get dropped off there instead, since Griselda can also smoke your fish. I will say that La Filetera was able to accomodating a quick fillet, vacuum seal and flash freeze. I was able to pickup my fish later that night! The boat had a toilet and a lower seating area in the shade. It has two fighting chairs and the crew used 5 poles in at a time on average. Overall I highly recommend this crew and boat! Happy Fishing @made.u.luke

    Hi Luke, sorry for taking so long to reply, but this month has been a little crazy. Thank you so much for sharing the day with us! We had a blast. If only we could have hooked into that Marlin, but sometimes those old warriors just aren't in the mood to bite. So glad you had a good time! Look us up the next time you are in Cabo!

    Tight Lines!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Another amazing trip with Cesar on the Mystic Marlin!! And to top it off we also had the pleasure of his Son as first mate. After our trip last year with Cesar, we made sure to request him again and we were not disappointed! This crew are true fishermen through and through. No electronics needed, just experience. And they put us on the fish...again! It was amazing to watch Cesar and his Son work as a team to chase the bait and set the hook. I cannot say enough good things about them. Even when we showed our inexperience with landing large game, he was right there with kindness guiding us through the whole process to get the catch to the boat. Never missed a smile or a positive word, even when we'd miss the fish due to our mistakes. If you want the true experience of a lifetime, book these guys! Trust me, you'll have many stories to share once you're back. And for a bonus tip, bring breakfast tacos and drinks for the captain and crew. You're generosity will be returned ten times over :)

    Great service on a slow day

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Johnny and Cesar did a great job for us even though we didnt find many fish. Comminication was excellent. We came from a cruise so started a bit late (which didnt help our fishing chances). They communicated well in advance with what to expect and directions to meet up. Got us on the water super quick. I asked to target Rooster fish even though its not the best time of year for them. They tried hard, alternated between trolling for Mahi, Marlin and then in close for Rooster. Only a couple strikes and nothing landed. But the effort was there. Boat is comfortable, has a workkng toilet and two fighting chairs. Nothing too fancy but totally adequate. I would use them again and recommend to others.

    Michael, thank you for the kind review. Obviously we wish every day was lights out, but sometimes that is just not the case. Thank you for recognizing the effort put in by the crew. Next time you come to Cabo look us up and we will make it up to you. Thank you!

    Great crew! Awsome day!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Booked this trip last minute because of the great reviews and it didn’t disappoint. We met up with the crew at the marina early morning and made sure to arrive at least 30min early to buy out licenses and some snacks. The bait was puchased right before leaving the marina. Johnny and Cesar were very attentive to our needs. We caught our first fish(Dorado) 30min into the trip. Then a Marlin a few hours later. Johnny was very helpful in assisting to make sure everything ran smoothly. He and Cesar made time to swing by the Arches to take pictures with our fish. Our trip was only half day which was plenty of time. Water was a bit choppy but overall a good day with good weather. Next trip to Cabo we will definitely be booking with the same crew! Thanks guys for an amazing day!

    Me and my buddy were on a cruise and the cruise line stopped tendering for a storm. Contacted the captain and BlueSea Sportfishing they were very understanding and offered us a refund or to fish the next day, fished the next day and caught 2 Marlin!!! Would highly recommend captain Ceaser and first mate Martinez

    My son and I caught mahi mahi until we hit our limit. The last and biggest one was attacked by a 6 foot shark but we got the fish in undamaged because of the quick action of the crew who had a live bait fish hooked up and ready to go. They tossed it out right in front of the shark and we caught it as well. Finished the day with a nice striped Marlin. The seas were still pretty big from Hurricane Marie. We went out the first day after the port opened but never had any concerns because the boat was handled so expertly. Thank you Mystic Marlin for an amazing day!

    Been on many deep sea fishing trips all over, actually booked an afternoon trip but the owner reached out and go earlier projecting a better experience, they know and were right, caught back go back salfin and a 91 inch 150lb Marlin, ate what we caught back at port, such an experienced knowledgeable crew and recommend to anyone looking for the big scores

    Went for a day trip (8 hours) and would recommend only going for 4, it was a good trip the only downfall is that being in the back of the boat you breathe in a lot of carbon monoxide
