What a great day, we had! Both the Captain and first mate were very knowledgeable and experienced. They were great at spotting Marlin on the open water, and they knew exactly how to put us on them. Unfortunately we lost a 250-300 pound Blue Marlin as it snapped the line, but we reeled in a 115 lb striped Marlin as well as a really nice Mahi Mahi. The experience was more than worth the cost of the trip!
We were a group of 4 adults and 2 kids and Cptn Felipe and his first mate, also named Felipe, spent 8 hours with us locating fish to catch.ย They did an outstanding job and we were very happy
Our crew, Jaime and Felipe, were wonderful! But from arriving at dock area that morning until we actually got on boat, we had to pay at every point just to get onto dock to reach the boat. A guy met us, NOT Captain Rafael, to take us to purchase licenses which were more than what one actually costs. Later found out they only cost $15. We paid $20 per fisher. This โguyโ pocketed the money and didnโt even pay the girl who issued us the licenses. Seems scammy. Then we had to pay to get ONTO dock area, $1 each person. At this point we finally met Captain Rafael and he connected us with our 2 man crew. After pushing off dock and heading out of harbor, we passed a live bait boat. Had to pay them $20 if we wanted live bait. We chose not to as it was supposed to be included in our charter! Felt like we had already been nickeled and dimed at this point. It worked out fine as the crew took us to great spots and we were able to catch several bonito, skipper jacks and Amberjack with lures. It turned out to be a great day with the crew and I highly recommend them. Just didnโt appreciate being taken advantage of on way to actual boat.

Wonderful experience! I landed 4 Tunas and a striped Blue Marlin on my 5 hr. Trip where 2 of those hours were spent coming and going. Boat staff was very friendly and accommodating. Would do this again!
I came with 3 friends to Cabo in March, and we had an awesome time with killer hook. We caught 6 fish, so not a ton, but the guides put a ton of work in to make sure that we could at least catch a few. We will definitely be back next time weโre in Cabo.
