Captain Juan and Jerry were fantastic. They were obviously very experienced and knew where the fish were. The boat was clean, comfortable with lots of places to sit (both in the sun and in the shade) with a private bathroom. The boat was a bit loud, as it had a large turbo diesel engine. You quickly get used to it, but if you’re sensitive to noise you may want to bring some ear plugs. They provided a wonderful boxed lunch with chicken burritos, chips, nuts, granola bars & a stocked cooler of bottled water, pop & beer. We weren’t out long before we had our first fish on the line, a 3 ft wahoo.  We were able to land it (which is very rare) and got a great picture with it before it went in the cooler. Not long after we hooked a striped Marlin. It came straight out of the water when the hook was set and jumped multiple times during the fight. What an amazing sight to see it flying out of the water. It was big and put up a great fight. We were able to land it in about 20 minutes… what a thrill it was! It was the entire width of the boat, about 7 feet long and at least 150 lbs. The captain and skipper were patient as we posed for pictures with 3 of us holding it. What an amazing moment, fulfilling a fisherman’s lifelong dream! Jerry helped us get it back into the water quickly & had us release it since we did not want a trophy. They did offer us the opportunity to have it trophied, so if you are wanting one, they have connections to a taxidermist who will mount it for you. A while later we landed a Skipjack Tuna, and then 2 dorados at the same time. It was exhilarating getting to have 2 people fight a fish at once! We landed both of them and got some great photos. The colors were beautiful and they were about 3 feet long each. We continued to troll for fish for the rest of the day but the bites ended around noon for us. While we trolled, we got some great views of whales surfacing and breaching, saw a turtle, and watched others fight marlins. As we came back to the marina, we had multiple pelicans and sea lions come up to the boat. We pulled the boat up to the dock and handed our fish to the fillet guys, it cost $15 USD to have all of our fish filleted for us. They were very quick and handed us all of our fish sorted in different bags. Altogether it was a very wonderful experience. We couldn’t have had a better day! Some tips we learned, take anti-nausea pills before, wear long sleeve fishing shirts and a hat or lots of sunscreen, bring sunglasses, you can only pay in cash (US or MX), be sure to tip at least 15% of the trip cost, and bring your fish fillets to the Crazy Lobster restaurant in Cabo, they will prepare the fish any way you’d like for FREE and they have amazing sides and drinks at a great price. Book this boat!! You will have an amazing trip.

went out Wednesday on the El Pargo with Santiago and Frede .  Wow. did they make it amazing !  Stopped in the am asked if we needed anything at the marina store on the way out ,  Frede took some snaphots of my wife and I against the Arch . turned the the corner headed up the pacific side and BAM !
Dorado on line !  Did a great job working the waters hard and finished with limits of Dorado, Bonita ,  and 2 marlin !  Frede was so patient as my wife had never fishes like that before and landed a great dorado ! Thank you so much for the great day and memories!  Will definitely see them again !  Book with them you will absolutely not be disappointed!

You can’t ever guarantee catching fish, but super happy we stumbled into Bonito and caught 13 in the first hour of our trip.  Not so lucky the rest of the trip, but did get to see some whales, we weren’t really trying for big fish anyway.  Headed back a bit earlier due to some motion sickness in our group, but on the way back the captain was very gracious to allow our teens to spend way to much time getting the perfect cabo arch pictures.  English wasn’t fluent, but good enough and happy with crew.  Boat a bit older, but no complaints, would book this boat and crew again.

If you are not sure you want to do this or if you want to know if it’s worth the money, let me say by far the best experience ever! They were great at communicating prior to trip, answered all my questions and concerns, gave great instructions, everything needed was available, boat was amazing and clean! The crew was amazing! We caught 3 blue fin tunas, 2 dolphin Mahi Mahi and 1 8-9 foot blue marlin, we even got a visit from local celebrity sea lion “Paco”!  We saw several whales and dolphins. Many Thanks to the crew for this memorable experience!

Lunch was very good, a shredded beef burrito, the crew was attentive and the worked hard to be in the right spot to catch fish.  We caught three Mahi Mahi, which was very sufficient for our planned meals, with extra fish to share with the crew and others.  The fish was cleaned by a friend of the first mate and the cost was very inexpensive.  We showed up at the boat dock early and they were ready to go, so we were out of the slip and on our way early and just about out of the harbor ahead of the rest of the fishing fleet!
