$400–$1,500
$400-1500 per person

The real cost of fishing in Cabo is $400-1500 per person. Here's how to get the best value without overpaying.

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.

Peak fishing season runs October through November for marlin, but there's something biting year-round. Summer brings dorado and yellowfin. Winter has striped marlin runs.

Pro tip from locals: avoid Sundays when cruise passengers flood the marina.
