Spanish mackerels and roosters galore

Full Day Trip2 adults

Omar and Francisco did an amazing job putting us on the fish. We got our limit of Spanish Mackerel in an hour, often doubling or tripling up, and then were hooking up and catching rooster fish left and right until some seal showed up and scared them off. We trolled for striped Marlin and didn't get lucky, but that's fishing. Had a great day fishing.

    Best crew ever, owner bit greedy

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    the captain has a sixth sense on where to find fish. and Omar, the deckhand is simply the best. The owner, not the boat crew, we felt is a little to greedy. Where other charters prices were the sae prce, they were all inclusive (food, drink, food, bait) he charged for everything. (box lunch $25, bait $50 for 10 live bait and we only 8 plus dead bait, etc) after all that, we had to pay a dock fee. yes, only a buck apiece but by that time, it felt over the top. Again, the crew (who are part of the paying process) and experience was almost worth the frustration. yes, the post did say it to bring your own food and drink. And it did say they only troll. What they didn't say was how much extra they would gouge you for te food and bait and hidde fees. Extra hint for first timers in Cabo, you could just troll, but you will be more successful with ballyhoo rigged trolls and live bait.

    So sorry to hear that, but in case you don’t know we are paying a 30% fee to the site for renting us. On the other hand, you are not obliged to buy drinks or food from us, is totally optional, furthermore the description of the trip clearly states what is not included in price. Anyway, thank you very much for your review and your feedback!

    Stellar Fishing Experience!!!

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Francisco & Onar went out of their way to give us an amazing fishing trip. We caught the largest sailfish I have ever seen in person, a big female dorado (which we brought home for dinner) and lots of smaller dorado, skipjack tuna, and a huge lemon shark. The boat is great and the equipment is top of the line. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!!

    Amazing Experience

    ALL INCLUSIVE FISHING TRIP 3 PAX - 12:00 PM • 3 adults

    My dad has always talked about deep sea fishing and so we finally took him. It was an amazing time, the staff catered to us and asked us what beer, food, and drinks we wanted on the boat before the excursion so they had it on hand (charged for the price of the items). We set out at 12, we saw 4 marlin total and caught and released 2. Saw dolphins and turtles as well and you see the arch mid day and at sunset (fall months). The staff was patient and even took out the marlin safely to let us hold for pics before releasing. This was really nice of them because the marlin were adult size and very heavy. Would do again.

    WOW, What a Great Fishing Experience!!

    ALL INCLUSIVE FISHING TRIP 2 PAX • 2 adults

    This boat and their office is 3 minutes from the cruise ship tender dock and is very clearly signed! Public restrooms are right next door. The Captain, mate and boat were ready to go, picking up baitfish from a small boat on the way out of the harbor. Within an hour Capt Francesco guided us to a 9 foot Black Marlin that went aerial b4 landing in the boat! While 1st mate Omar expertly prepped another baitfish we landed a nice Mahi-Mahi b4 chasing tuna with all the other boats. Leaving the other boats behind, Capt put us on another Marlin and after a half hour and numerous leaps the 10 foot Striped Marlin was at the boat🎣 After a few quick pictures it was released as we'd all agreed. My wife and I are experienced fishermen around the globe and this was absolutely fantastic. After getting skunked at Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan we were very happy to fish with these new friends! We're already planning our return to fish with them for big Tuna. Many Thanks To you all 🎣
