Cabo San Lucas: Private Sport Fishing Charter & Open Bar

You'll Catch Fish You Didn't Know Were There

You board a 68-foot yacht with professional fishing gear (Shimano reels, custom rods, bait tanks) and a crew that handles the technical work while you fish. The five-hour charter includes an open bar with rum, tequila, vodka and beer, plus a brunch of croissants, quesadillas, charcuterie and fresh fruit. A photographer can document the experience for an additional fee. Groups run up to 14 passengers, and you're back in port by early afternoon.

The experience

The boat is bigger than you expect: a 68-foot Bluewater yacht that doesn't feel cramped even with a full group. You step aboard and the crew hands you a Shimano Tiagra 2-speed reel and a custom offshore rod, and suddenly the whole thing stops being theoretical. The bait tank is stocked, the tuna tubes are rigged, and you're not standing around wondering what to do next. Five hours on the water in Cabo San Lucas means you're fishing in real deep-sea conditions, not trolling in the shallows.

The professional crew handles the heavy work. They know where the fish are running, they'll set the lines, they'll coach you through the fight if something takes. You're there to fish, not to figure out the equipment or navigate. Between casts there's a full open bar (rum, tequila, vodka, beer, mixers) and a brunch spread that keeps coming: croissants, quesadillas, charcuterie, homemade salsas, seasonal fruit. It's not fancy-plated food. It's the kind of thing that tastes right when you're on the water and the sun's been up for a few hours.

If you want a photographer on board to document the catches and the group, that's available separately, not included in the charter price, but worth asking about when you book. Same with fishing licenses and live bait. Those aren't part of the package, so confirm those details before you arrive. The yacht takes up to 14 passengers comfortably, which means it works for a small group of friends, a family celebration, or a corporate outing where people actually want to be there.

Book the date that works for your group and let the crew know if you want to customize the food or drinks. The boat leaves from Cabo San Lucas, and you're back in five hours: long enough to feel like you've been somewhere, short enough to fit into a travel day without eating the whole afternoon.
