Great Boat & Crew!

ALL INCLUSIVE FISHING TRIP 2 PAX2 adults

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.

    From Sea Sick to Sick Catch!!

    Half Day Charter (AM) • 2 adults

    Absolute Pros.From the pre trip communication, ease of understanding costs (included and not), and expert captain and first mate in skills and effort. My best friend was sea sick for most the trip and they did everything in their power to get us fish. We landed two keeper Dorado and couldn't be more pleased. For all the uncertainty a place like Cabo can have El Budster Crew were solid. Would recommend to anyone! (and did as we walked our catch up the dock to the restaurant to have it prepared)

    Wonderful first time going after big fish!

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    My 18-year-old son, 21-year-old daughter and I had a great experience on El Budster yesterday. First and foremost, Crew Tony and Captain Luis worked their tails off for us. Luis asked what we were hoping to catch, and warned me that my hoped-for tuna weren’t running in large numbers in early August. I was ready for it to be fishing and not catching, but with 5 lines running almost all the time Tony was able to hook us a 74”sailfish and a 68 lb tuna and woth his coaching my kids and i landed them. We released the sailfish and brought the tuna to Griselda’s for processing and packing so we can bring it home. The pre-trip communication was very clear, amd we chose to accept their offer of bagged lunches and waters for extra $. They will help you get fishing licenses if you need them — be sure to also have them with you at the airport if you will take fish home. The licenses cost extra and I needed cash for live bait and extra ice since we were going after tuna, which were further out. Thank you, Tony and Luis, for a great introduction to sportfishing!

    Epic day catching epic Fish

    ALL INCLUSIVE FISHING TRIP 3 PAX • 3 adults

    it was an amazing day of fishing with a great captain and deck hand. Spent the first few hours trolling and didn’t catch anything. Got a little worried. We were gonna come back empty-handed. But the captain and deckhand changed course and changed up the lures and located a group of dolphins which let us write to some trophy size tuna. On the way back, they also spotted a marlin which we were able to hook and bring in. One of the best fishing trips we’ve ever been on.

    Absolutely best deep sea fishing trip we’ve taken. Great crew, friendly, made us feel welcome on their boat. Also - did a great job of getting us on the marlin! My wife and I couldn’t have been happier!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Great crew - Luis and Ishmael were very hospitable & friendly. Especially Ishmael (Luis was busy driving the boat). Great day for fishing and they found them! Caught two nice marlin - one Striped, one Blue. Great time for sure! Glad I was able to share the experience with my wife!!

    Awesome trip!

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    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.
