30´ Lures "Baja 1"

Baja 1 is a 30-foot Lures sportfisher — a comfortable, capable platform built for small groups who want a productive fishing day without a luxury price tag. At 30 feet with capacity for five anglers, the boat has the deck space to fish properly and the range to reach the productive offshore water where Cabo's reputation was built. Operating from Marina Cabo San Lucas, Baja 1 is the everyday workhorse of the Boats Baja fleet.

Onboard the rigging is straightforward and effective: rods, reels, tackle, and live bait (5 pieces for half-day, 10 for full-day). The ice chest is loaded, the dock fee is paid, and the crew is included. The all-inclusive package — drinks, lunch box, Mexican fishing license — runs an additional $50 USD per person and is genuinely worth the convenience if it's your first time in Cabo.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer who's never held a rod, Baja 1 is a reliable platform to learn or to excel. The captain handles a mix of techniques: trolling spreads of skirted lures for billfish and mahi-mahi, switching to live bait for marlin when they show on the surface, and working closer in for roosterfish, sierra mackerel, and triggerfish when the day calls for it. Striped marlin are catchable virtually year-round, with summer adding blue and black marlin and the fall bringing big yellowfin tuna.

The five-passenger capacity makes Baja 1 ideal for a family group, a couple's foursome on vacation, or a small group of friends balancing a fishing day with the rest of the Cabo experience. The boat fishes well in the morning conditions when seas are typically calmer; the captain reads the wind forecast and plans the day around getting you on fish before it builds.

Book Baja 1 when you want a no-fuss, well-run fishing trip from Cabo's busiest marina, leaving early and returning with photos, fish to clean, and the satisfaction of a day done right.
