The crew was fantastic! They were on time and efficient. we didnt loose any fish the crew was on top of everthing and the lunch was delicious. Highly recommend this crew and will be using them again.
We book a 5 hour charter with Reel Tequila. We started the morning at 6 am. We was off the dock quick and on our way. We had lines in the water by 6:15 and caught our first mahi within 10 minutes. We picked up another bull mahi by 8 am. Got the spread back out was heading towards the area the captain had a marlin the day before. We hooked up to a nice striped marlin that put a good show. 30 minutes later we boated, took pictures and the marlin was safely released back to the water. 10:30 we had another hookup, the sailfish fish jumped and put on a show. 15 minute fight and we were taking pictures, releasing the fish back, and high fives for the successful day. Captain was great, first mate was great. We are experieneced blue water fisherman ourselves, they were ok with me helping put the spread out and help running the rods. Good quality fishing gear, shimano tiagra 30w and 50w reels. They had drinks, breakfast burrito, that was great and snacks ready for us when we got there. We will 100% fish with them again. Sam’s first billfish ever. My first Pacific sailfish.
I would recommend this charter, and I would personally go again. Everything is as advertised and you are able to target the fish species of your choosing. My family and I were able to schedule the fishing trip within a week. The first mate speaks good english and is straightforward so be ready to listen so you don’t miss a bite. We caught 7 fish with 4 mahi mahi being sport fishing sized! The crew is flexible as well if you want or need to return early.
We booked the Reel Tequila with Cabo Sport Fishing for my son’s 13th birthday, and it was nothing short of magical. From the very beginning, communication was excellent. Before we even arrived, we knew exactly where to go and what to expect, and the team was already waiting for us when we showed up. We booked a full-day trip to give my son the best possible shot at his dream fish. When we got on the boat, the crew asked my son what his dream was. Without hesitation, he said a dorado. They were honest and told us dorado and marlin had been tough lately, but promised they would do everything they could. We set off into the most incredible sunrise and were invited to sit up top with the crew, which made the experience feel even more special. The boat was very well stocked with water, multiple sodas, beer, and they provided great lunches as well. They took us far offshore to the point where you could not see another boat and the land was just a distant horizon. The moment we were in the water, it was nonstop action. These guys never sat down and never stopped working. Within two hours, we hooked a trophy-size dorado. The crew was incredible with my son, teaching him how to properly use the equipment, guiding him without taking over, and showing so much patience. When that dorado hit the deck, life was very, very good. Around that same time, three out of the five people in our group were taken down hard by seasickness. The crew handled it with total kindness and humor, laughing with them through the misery and never once making anyone feel bad for being sick in choppy water. About an hour later, we hooked an even bigger dorado, and that was it. My son’s dream day was complete. We were scheduled to fish until 2:00 PM, but with the seasick family members, we decided to head back early around 11:00. The team helped us get our fish over to Gricelda’s for processing (also highly recommend!) and made the wrap-up seamless. The Reel Tequila team is the real deal. We went fishing with another outfit two days later and spent eight hours on what felt like a sightseeing tour. We only saw the captain and first mate twice the entire day. It was painful and made us appreciate this trip even more. I will never go fishing with anyone other than Cabo Sport Fishing again. Thank you for giving my son a truly unforgettable 13th birthday
We arrived by cruise ship at 1:00 p.m. and booked the full-day charter, knowing we wouldn’t get the full eight hours in—but it was absolutely worth it. Lunch was excellent, and Captain Juan and First Mate Juan were the best crew in Cabo. My wife and I had a double hookup and each landed a striped marlin over 100 lbs! On the way back, we hooked into a dolphin (mahi-mahi) and were treated to an incredible show from a pod of dolphins and flying manta rays. The crew used several techniques to keep us on the fish, and we had an absolute blast with these two professionals. Highly recommend!
We went out with Reel Tequila and while the weather definitely wasn’t on our side (20–25 ft swells most of the day), the crew handled it like absolute pros. They kept things safe, fun, and somehow managed to help us hook two sailfish in some of the roughest water I’ve ever been in. Even though the conditions were wild, they made the best of it — calm under pressure, great communication, and tons of laughs in between the chaos. We came back salt-soaked, sore, and smiling from ear to ear. If you’re looking for a crew that knows how to fish and how to keep spirits high no matter what the ocean throws your way — Reel Tequila is your boat.
