The Experience

Before You Go

Sun protection is non-negotiable

Bring broad-spectrum sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and long-sleeve UV shirt—reflective ocean sun burns faster than land.

Prep for motion sickness

If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or use patches the night before; rougher offshore water amplifies symptoms.

Bring a small cooler lunch

Operators may not provide lunch under current rules—pack light, non-perishable items and extra water.

Charge your camera and phone

The charter includes photo opportunities from the moment you leave the marina—bring waterproof protection and extra storage.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sunset run past Land’s End and Pelican Rock for calm water and snorkel opportunities
  • Offshore seamounts near Cabo Falso—less-visited productive spots for pelagic species when conditions align

Wildlife

  • Humpback whales (seasonal migratory sightings)
  • Sea turtles and seabirds like frigatebirds and pelicans

Conservation Note

Many local charters practice selective release for billfish and comply with Mexican fishing regulations; responsible anglers help sustain the fishery and local livelihoods.

Cabo evolved from a small fishing port into a sportfishing capital in the 20th century, driven by rich offshore currents that attract large pelagic fish.
