Choosing the right fishing charter in Cabo depends on your group size, target species, and how long you want to spend on the water. Here's a breakdown of every charter type available through Boats Baja, so you can pick the perfect trip:
Our most popular option. A private Cabo deep sea fishing charter gives your group exclusive use of the boat and crew. You choose the duration — half-day (5 hours) or full-day (8 hours) — and our captain customizes the trip based on current conditions and your target species. Full-day trips reach the most productive offshore banks (Gordo Banks, Golden Gate Bank, Finger Bank) where trophy marlin, tuna, and wahoo await. Half-day trips stay closer to shore and are ideal for families or first-timers targeting dorado, sierra, and roosterfish. See our deep sea fishing charters →

Vessels from 44' to 95' feature air-conditioned cabins, premium sound systems, spacious decks, and onboard chef service.

The waters off Cabo San Lucas are among the most productive fishing grounds on Earth. Located at the very tip of the Baja California peninsula, Cabo sits at the convergence of two oceans — the warm Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) and the cool Pacific Ocean. This collision creates an incredibly rich marine ecosystem with underwater canyons, seamounts, and current lines that attract massive concentrations of game fish year-round.
Two underwater seamounts located about 8 miles offshore of San José del Cabo. These banks rise from 3,000+ feet to within 100 feet of the surface, creating a wall of upwelling nutrients that attracts yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and marlin. This is THE spot for trophy tuna fishing — fish over 200 lbs are caught here regularly.
Located approximately 25 miles offshore on the Pacific side, this massive underwater bank is the premier destination for blue and black marlin. During peak season (July–October), multiple hookups per trip are common. The journey out is longer, making this a full-day charter destination.
The iconic rock formations at the very tip of Baja. The waters around Land's End offer excellent inshore fishing for roosterfish, sierra, jack crevalle, and dorado. The underwater canyon drops off steeply just offshore, bringing deep-water species surprisingly close to land.
These offshore banks on the Pacific side provide outstanding wahoo and tuna fishing. Finger Bank is particularly productive in the fall and winter months when wahoo concentrate on the ledges. Our experienced captains know the exact coordinates and current patterns that put you on the fish.

"Hands down the best fishing trip of my life. The captain knew exactly where the fish were and we released two blue marlin before noon. The crew was professional, funny, and made sure everyone on board had a blast. Already booked our next trip for October."

"We had never been fishing before but the crew made it incredibly easy and fun. They baited our hooks, showed us exactly what to do, and cheered us on the whole way. We caught Dorado and Roosterfish — more than we expected! Worth every penny."

"I've fished Cabo many times and this was by far my best experience. The boat was clean and well-maintained, the gear was top-notch Penn equipment, and the captain put us on a massive tuna school. We brought home over 150 lbs of fresh tuna. Incredible day."
Carlos Mendez

"Our 9-year-old caught her first fish ever on this trip and she hasn't stopped talking about it since. The crew was patient and wonderful with the kids. Boats Baja made what could have been a stressful experience completely seamless from pickup to fish cleaning."
The Johnson Family

"I specifically wanted to target blue marlin and the Boats Baja team delivered. We had three hookups and released two beautiful blues. The captain was an absolute legend — he's been fishing these waters for 25+ years and it shows. Five stars without hesitation."
Tom Whitfield

"We did a group fishing trip for my bachelorette and it was the BEST decision. The crew was so much fun, the boat was amazing, and we caught plenty of fish. They even had cold beers ready for us! If you're in Cabo, skip the clubs and get on the water with these guys."
