We had an absolutely incredible day aboard the Ursula IV! We’ve been on more than 15 fishing charters in places like Punta Cana, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Hawaii, Boston, Marco Island, Key West and other destinations, and this was hands down the best fishing trip we’ve ever experienced.

Captain Manuel and mate Miguel were outstanding. Their knowledge, experience, and work ethic were obvious from the moment we left the marina. Within about 10 minutes we were already catching bonito for bait. Our first tuna spot had a lot of boats, but instead of waiting around, Captain Manuel made the decision to move. It turned out to be the perfect call, we were immediately hooked up to a monster 110 lb yellowfin tuna! Throughout the day, the crew never stopped working. Miguel was constantly preparing bait, ensurng multiple lines were out, and doing everything possible to keep the action going.

The fishing was unbelievable. We landed three yellowfin tuna weighing approximately 110 lbs, 130 lbs, and 50 lb., caught several bonito, a 120 lb striped marlin, and on the ride back to the marina, Captain Manuel said he thought we still had a chance at a wahoo. Sure enough, he was right! We finished the day with an approximately 30 lb wahoo. It was truly one of those fishing trips you’ll remember forever.

A couple of tips for future guests: If there’s any chance of bad weather, wait until your trip is confirmed before purchasing your fishing licenses, since the Port Captain can close the harbor for safety and trips may need to be rescheduled. Not the Charter’s fault! They do not have any control over this. Also, be prepared to pay ~$40 for live bait and ~$21 per persn for fishing licenses. Ask ahead of time about any additional costs so there are no surprises when you arrive.

We can’t recommend the Ursula IV enough. We would book with them again without hesitation!

Ursula is the nicest boat I have been on out of all my times fishing in Cabo! Very clean (even to my wife’s standards), quite comfortable and large enough for several people. But the best part is the crew. Captain Olter was so nice in the morning getting us started and then Emanuel & Sammy took us out for an amazing fishing day and my wife & I cought 21 fish! 60lb tuna, 50lb dorado, skip jack’s, spanish makerel, etc. No marlin this time but I’ve had my share of them and I was toast after that big tuna! About a 25 min fight. Excellent crew, boat and day. I will never forget it and going again this November!

This was our first deep sea fishing trip and it couldnt have been any better!! My husbabd and I and our 5 kids (ages **hidden content** and 10) did the full day trip. We caught 3 Marlin, 1 Mahi Mahi and 1 Blue Wahoo! Manuel and Sammy were the best guides. We had an absolute blast and will definitely be back! We would highly recommend doing this trip!

If you have anybody that gets motion sickness, I would take something the night before and morning of. Also bring extra pesos or usd for getting bait and fishing licenses. We also brought a cooler of drinks and sandwiches and snacks.

1/2 Day Charter with Capt Manuel and Samy was incredible

We were a bit early bjt they were already on the boat and ready to go

Left early and was out of the harbour and lines out as the sun came up, and we started catching fish pretty much righ away

Samy was working hard handling the fish and the lines

Ended up with lots of Spanish Mackeral, a couple of Bonita’s, a Snap jack and even a Mahi Mahi

Had a great time and would highly recommend Capt Manual and Samy on the Ursulla IV for anyone looking to go fishing in Cabo

Had a great half day out that started slow but these guys knew which spots to get to, found and chased many schools of tuna.  They changed techniques and lures until landing 2 big yellowfin tuna back-to-back.  Succesful day for all!  Great friendly captain/deckhand.  Knowledgeable and worked hard.  Easy and good communication with owner as well.
Highly recommend!
