We had an awesome trip on the El Budster Pride with Captain Luis and first mate Ismael—this was our second trip with this crew, and they did not disappoint.

We started the day targeting yellowfin tuna. My son caught the first fish of the day, a bonita, and was fired up. My wife then landed the first and only yellowfin of the trip, which we estimated at 50–60 pounds.

After that, we headed in closer to shore to fish for striped marlin off the reef, and it was incredible. As soon as we arrived, marlin were everywhere. We hooked five, brought three to the boat, and should have had a fourth if another boat hadn’t accidentally cut us off.

Captain Luis and Ismael are dedicated, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic about what they do. Their energy and knowledge made the trip even better.

We highly recommend this crew and can’t wait to come back again.

Captain Luis and his first mate Luis were amazing!  Worked super hard to make sure the experience was great.  They had 3-5 lines in at all times.  Caught a large Wahoo, a small mahi mahi, a nice striped Marlin and even a shark!!! They helped us take pictures, get the fish cleaned and provided 5 star service throughout.  Will definitely be booking with the El Budster Pride again!!!  Thanks Guys!!!

Had an amazing time on the El Budster Pride. The mate and captain were so friendly and put us on fish right out the marina. Even ended up catching a large Striped Marlin and they had it all set up for us for taxidermy before we even arrived back to dock. Would highly recommend this boat and crew if you’re looking to have a great fishing experience!!

We booked the boat with Captain Luis based on recommendation from my coworker who caught a large blue marlin on his trip. We really enjoyed the trip as we each caught a blue marlin before the captain took us to get some smaller better eating fish. At the end, we caught close to 50 skip jacks, white fish, and trigger fish, and walked aways with lots of memories and more than enough fish for our entire stay at Cabo. I would recommend them to anyone looking for the experience of a life time.

the captain knows how to fish and is very friendly.  the first mate is learning.  they did not use stinger hooks as a result we had several ballyhoe with the back half bit of but no hook up.  equipment was good and they used tieser rigs. we bougt an extra 20.00 of bait so we got another packet of ballyhoo and more live baits.  good thing we did this because we came back with just one live bait. lunch was good. ham sandwich and chicken salad burrito.  they just had two blocks of ice both were put on drinks that were warm.  when we caught a mahi i asked for it o be iced but after 3 hours they finaly put a block of ice on fish.  fish spoils 1-2 hours so we threw fish out.  suggest fir captain is to have one bag of cubed ice on drinks, 2-3 blocks of ice for fish and one bag of cubes.  $5.00 more of ice would have
saved fish and made drinks cold.  also push clients to buy more bait.  overall good trip just a small change to make it a great trip.
