Member since August 2021 San Jose del Cabo, Mexico

Background: After having some bad experiences on different charters in Baja, The owner Richard bought his boat in 2019, wanting to start something that people could enjoy. He went out and hired the best captains Lizandro and Jesus and deckhand that both could speak English. With their father and most of the family members being fishermen, they grew up in the local town and have been fishing since little kids. They know how to fish, enjoy what they do, and will work hard for their customers to provide an unforgettable time and help make memories on the water. Almost all of the customers so far have said they felt like they were fishing with family on their trips.

A visit to Baja would not be complete without a couple of days fishing on the Kimberli a with Captain Jesus and Lesandro. The boat cuts the water well in all conditions, is comfortable. The gear is top notch. The fishing is always great. The Dorado bite was great, constant action and excitement.

We did try to catch tuna we did get grouper snapper we went where the tuna were located with no success we couldn’t run out to the other tuna grounds because there was a large Bisby offshore tournament going on or we would’ve gone to Gordo Banks but there was 70 boats plus over at Gordo Banks I did offer to give him a half day the following day for free all he had to do is pay for beat and license because the tournament was over with and we could’ve ran to Gordo Banks. I’m sorry you feel... More
