Cabo Shared Fishing Charters in Cabo San Lucas

A shared fishing charter in Cabo is a seat on a sportfishing boat, not a private rental. You book 2 to 9 spots, other anglers book the rest, and the boat leaves at 6:00 AM for a 5-hour trip from Marina Cabo San Lucas.

The rate is $270.00 USD per person. That covers the licensed captain and deckhand, rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. The Mexican fishing license is $25.00 USD per person and is paid at the marina, not in the online checkout.

This is the product for a solo angler, a couple, or a pair of friends who want Cabo fishing without paying the full-boat rate of a mid-size private charter. If you already have four or more people, a private deep sea charter is usually the lower total — the comparison table below uses this fleet's real 5-hour rates.

A morning shared trip stays on the same nearshore water as a private half-day: dorado, skipjack, yellowfin, and in season the occasional striped marlin. It is not an 8-hour run to Gordo Banks. If you want that range, book a full-day private boat.

Shared is $270.00 per person. A private 5-hour fishing boat in this fleet starts at $450.00 for the vessel. The 33–38 ft sportfishers start at $650.00 for 5 hours.

Shared trips run on boats from the same Boats Baja fleet used for private charters — typically 26–38 ft sportfishers with outriggers, a fighting chair, and a shaded cockpit. You do not pick a named hull at checkout; the office assigns a boat that matches the headcount that morning.

If you want a specific boat (for example the 33 ft La Paloma or the 33 ft Wahoo), that is a private charter. The full list is on Cabo deep sea fishing.

The shared fishing tour leaves at 6:00 AM from Marina Cabo San Lucas. Dock-to-dock time is 5 hours. There is no afternoon shared departure on this product — afternoon 3-hour private trips are on the affordable half-day charter.

Be at the marina early enough to find the slip, pay the fishing license, and board before 6:00 AM. The marina is about 15–25 minutes by Uber or taxi from most corridor hotels. The trip does not run below 2 booked anglers; if that happens you get a refund or a new date, 24 hours ahead.

Other paying anglers: couples, friends, and small groups who booked the same date. Capacity is 9 people. This is not a 20-person party boat. The crew keeps a rod rotation so each paying angler gets a turn when there is a bite.

You do not choose your boat-mates. If you need the boat to yourselves — kids’ nap schedule, a corporate group, or your own playlist — book a private charter instead. Minimum to confirm a shared date is 2 anglers.

$270.00 USD per person for the 5-hour shared fishing charter. That is the amount charged today in the form above (times the number of passengers).

$25.00 USD per person for the fishing license, paid at the marina. Minimum booking 2 people. Maximum 9. Example: two anglers pay $540.00 online plus $50.00 at the dock.
