The size of your boat can be taylored to meet the comfort and number of passengers on the boat, and with single or twin engine cruisers. Our sportfishers are fully equipped with a Captain and mate, shade, 2 fighting chairs, live bait tank, additional seating for other passengers, interior cabin with table and bench seats, and bathroom. Cruisers are generally rigged to troll 3 or 4 lines in the water with one line hooked to a live bait kept in the bait tank until ready for use. Fishing tackle is of high quality, using Penn International reels and custom rods. Fishing line of 40, 50 and 80 lb. test is on board. Light tackle is generally not provided but welcome if you have your own. Safety equipment includes life jackets and VHF radios. These boats mainly target billfish including striped, black and blue marlin. Dorado, tuna and wahoo are also caught from these boats.
Fishing Seasons
The fishing in the fertile waters off of Cabo San Lucas is truly great all year long. The Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez here and with many offshore underwater canyons and seamounts the water gets very deep very quickly. Our striped marlin population is abundant all year long and have earned Cabo the title of Marlin Capital of the World. February, March and April are favorites for these fish. Dorado, tuna and wahoo are also available at that time. In the summer months when the water warms the dorado and tuna action increases and peaks in the months of August, September, October, and November. The first two weeks of December can also be very good. Every year yellowfin tuna over 200 lbs and dorado over 80 lbs are brought to the dock. Big blue and black marlin migrate in at this time to feed on the smaller dorado and tuna and landing one of these fish in the 400-600 lb class is not unusual. Cabo is famous for it's fall marlin tournaments where total prize money can be over one million dollars!
