Budget for cheap yacht charter at $400-1500 per person in Cabo. That range exists for a reason — here's where your money goes.

Pangas (small open boats) start cheaper and work great for inshore fishing. Bigger sport fishers with cabins are better for full-day offshore trips. Private charters give you the run of the boat.

Cabo sits where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, making it one of the top sport fishing destinations on the planet. Marlin, tuna, dorado, wahoo, and roosterfish are all in play depending on the season.

Pro tip from locals: mid-range options are the sweet spot for quality.
