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.

"Just what the doctor ordered! A day out on Reel Medicine was perfect — seamless from the meet-and-greet at Dock A to disembarking with our catch of the day. We wrestled multiple blue marlin, caught one and released a couple more. My two boys, 8 & 9, and I were worn out from the heavy lifting and ready for the pool. Great time and we really appreciate the memories!"

"Had an excellent time on the Wahoo. Our cruise did an overnight stop and Boats Baja stepped up to customize our trip — not all fishing charters in Cabo do, and their flexibility was much appreciated. Beginner-friendly and the deckhand was great. Hope to come back again!"

"Awesome time fishing in Cabo with Boats Baja! It was my first deep-sea charter so I didn't know what to expect, but the crew were really friendly and had food and drinks ready when we boarded. We almost landed a giant blue marlin, then reeled in a dorado — the highlight. Professional service and they let us customize the trip exactly how we wanted. Highly recommend!"
