“Had a great trip with Capt Jose and Freddie. We were in 3-4 foot swells about 5-7 miles out and the Marlin were feeding. We had on hook up and throw the lure within the first 10 minutes of putting out. In another 10 minutes we hooked into and were able to land a striped marlin that was just under 9 foot. Unfortunately my brother in law started getting sick so we had to return to shore but it was still an epic day. The crew was awesome and new hot to get us on the fish. Thanks for a great day.”

“The captain and his mate were awesome! They are very experienced and worked hard to make this a memorable experience. The problem I had was with the company. They claim "IF YOU DON'T FISH, YOU DO NOT PAY." We had 2 people unable to attend that I originally scheduled to come when we made reservations 2 weeks prior to going. They charged us "FULL PRICE" despite those 2 not going and me not getting a chance to fish. Only 3 people got to fish. Also, if we would have had everyone there, the boat was not large enough for 6 people. Very disappointed in them not "LIVING UP TO THEIR…”

4.Private Half-Day Sport Fishing in Los Cabos

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 75 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $245

Private half-day sport fishing in Cabo San Lucas. Small panga, gear included, and a shot at marlin, dorado, and more.

“The boat is small and room for 2-3 guest max. We had 2 and was plenty of room to stand up, move around, and take photos. We're avid ocean fisherman so the small boat and one captain was perfect. We caught some fish and our poor captain had to work for it. The weather was rough but we didn't mind, and he kept going without skipping a beat. If your not used to small boats in the ocean you should bring sea sickness meds. You can bring snacks, food, even a small ice chest if you like. We really enjoyed the small personal experience and will do it again next…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 57 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $408

A private half-day fishing plus snorkeling tour in Isla Mujeres with a licensed guide, included gear, and a quiet reef full of fish.

“We had an amazing time with Island Adventures on the private snorkeling and fishing tour. Snorkeling near a quiet reef with no other boats around was incredible, and our guide Juan pointed out so many fish and even a stingray. He also walked me through how to bait the hook during the fishing portion, which was fun to learn. Theo, our captain, kept everything smooth and relaxed from start to finish. The water in Isla Mujeres is bluer than any pool I’ve ever seen, and with calm seas and sunny skies, it was the perfect day. Highly recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $428

Private 4-hour sport fishing in Costa Maya for up to 5. Five rods, trolling gear, chilled drinks, and captain-led action from Mahahual.

“Unfortunately, the seas were too rough for us to go fishing. They were very gracious to explain that we could either try just reef fishing but told us we would likely see very little action. They refunded our trip completely and let us hang out at their waterfront place with beach chairs and access to drinks and food. Extremely accommodating staff! When we were ready to head back to the ship, Alex called us a cab and waited with us until it arrived. I wish we could have made the trip but the weather was not good and red flags also. If we’re ever back here, we would certainly try…”
