The boat’s capacity for six anglers means everyone gets space to move comfortably, and the professional, bilingual captain and crew are ready to help you at every step.

The Departure and Timing

The trip kicks off early at 6:00 am from the marina at Blvd. Paseo de la Marina 54. This early start is common for fishing excursions to maximize prime fishing hours and avoid afternoon crowds. We appreciate the convenience of a mobile ticket, simplifying the check-in process. The tour lasts approximately 4 hours, which is enough time to chase various fish, enjoy the scenery, and return comfortably before lunch.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The package includes rods, reels, tackle, and an experienced captain, so you don’t need to worry about bringing your own gear or getting overwhelmed by options. However, fishing licenses, live bait, food, and drinks are not included, so travelers should prepare or purchase these separately. Many guests choose to bring snacks and beverages to keep energized throughout the trip.

The fishing experience

The crew’s goal is to ensure everyone has a great time. Many reviews mention how helpful, friendly, and enthusiastic the guides are — whether you’re aiming for your first fish or are an experienced angler chasing marlin. The productive waters of Cabo mean your chances are good to land species like Mahi Mahi or even a Striped Marlin, as one reviewer happily reported.

The Boat: Comfort in Motion

The Kellyfish’s speedy center console makes long waits or sluggish rides a thing of the past. The boat’s design prioritizes both comfort and efficiency, so you can focus on the fun. The deck has enough room for six anglers to fish comfortably, and the boat’s sleek profile allows quick access to different fishing spots.

The Crew: Knowledgeable and Friendly

When you’re on the water, the crew’s attitude can make or break your day. On this tour, reviews praise the helpful and friendly guides. Jennifer recounts how the crew was excited for everyone’s catches and went out of their way to email pictures afterward — a thoughtful touch that adds to the experience. Kerri highlights how everyone in her group, aged 17 to 75, enjoyed the trip, emphasizing the trip’s family-friendly appeal.

The Catch: Variety and Success

You’ll love the variety of fish you might encounter. One guest caught Mahi Mahi and even a double hookup of Striped Marlin, proving the waters are lively and productive. The thrill of pulling in a sizable fish — combined with the scenic backdrop of Cabo’s coast — makes each trip memorable.

Authenticity and Personal Touches

One standout review mentions how the captain took a picture for a guest who couldn’t get one of her husband with his fish, then emailed it later. Such small gestures reflect a personalized approach that travelers value highly.

At $595 per group for up to six people, this trip offers solid value for a half-day of fishing. The price includes top-notch gear and an experienced bilingual captain, which can otherwise add up if rented separately. While extra costs like licenses and bait are additional, the overall expense includes the core essentials for a successful outing.

Compared to other Cabo excursions, this private, small-group experience offers more personalized attention and flexibility. The reviews highlight how the crew’s enthusiasm and competence often turn an average day into a memorable adventure. If you’re looking for a fun, lively fishing trip with a good chance of catching big fish, this is a strong contender.

Booking is straightforward, with free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance. Departure at 6 am allows you to beat the crowds and enjoy cooler morning air — perfect for a day on the water. Since the trip is private, only your group participates, making it ideal for families, friends, or couples wanting a tailored experience.

Weather Considerations

The tour requires good weather; if canceled due to poor conditions, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. This flexibility is reassuring, but it’s wise to keep an eye on the weather forecast as your trip approaches.

Meeting Point and Logistics

The meeting point at the marina is convenient, central, and easy to find. Travelers should arrive a bit early to ensure smooth boarding, especially if they’ve never been to the marina before.

Reviews consistently praise the knowledgeable guides and the scenic views. The ability to catch fish like Mahi Mahi or Marlin, combined with the camaraderie of the crew, makes this trip stand out. Jennifer’s comment about the crew emailing pictures afterward exemplifies the kind of small, thoughtful touches that elevate the experience.

One reviewer noted that 5 hours can feel long for some, but most found it just right for a relaxed, engaging trip. Bringing snacks and drinks is recommended since food isn’t provided, so come prepared for a day on the water.

This fishing trip is perfect for groups seeking a fun, authentic Cabo experience. Families with kids or seniors will appreciate the friendly crew and the manageable time frame.
