Quick Answer

Yes, worth it at $400-1500. Mid range operators give best experience. Skip the cheapest options.

$400–$1,500
$400-1500 per person

Short answer on yacht charter: yes, it's worth it at $400-1500 per person. But which operator you pick matters more than the activity itself.

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.

Book at the marina, not through your hotel — you'll save 15-25%. Pisces, RedRum, and Tag Cabo are consistently reliable operators.

Pro tip from locals: off-season means smaller crowds and better deals.
