    The boat was old and lots of extra charges. They need new equipment and wasn't happy with the lunch, constant exhaust and just overall low quality basic boat.

    Trip of a Lifetime

    Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Caught an 8-foot sailfish with my dad. Goodie and Juan on the Jocelyne were fantastic. It was a slow fishing day overall, and they did everything they could to make sure we caught something.

    Fishing in Cabo

    Really good time, the captain and mate both were fluent in English. The only feedback was a little bit of nickel/diming: First, the fishing license was not included, which we knew- however the price was never very clear (16,18,20$? Actually said both 16 and 18 on the confirmation?) We paid 95 for 3 license, 1 live bait fee (Also expected) and 2 burrito (guy selling license selling them for a lady sitting there) so no idea what $ was what! Then when we came back, another guy at the pier required 1$ a person to disembark? What? Otherwise, wonderful time, the frew was good, boat was in good shape, fishing equipment in great condition. Would absolutely do again!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback, we will work on improving the details in the service

    Didn't show up but locals were great

    The company we booked with didn't show up however some Locals said they would even up with the company and took us out. Had a great time With them but frustrating beginning to the day. Hope the locals that took us got paid !

    Response from the operator: Dear user cristiana, I don't know your name because it is not in our reservation system, you never booked with us. And it is absurd for a local person to give you a FREE TOUR 5 HOURS and then say that he will CHARGE a STRANGER for it. We take your comment as SPAM.

    Didn't catch much but still a Great Experience

    Didn't catch many fish but was still a Great Experience! We were warned that Late-March was not great for fishing and many boats hadn't caught anything in the previous couple days - but we still managed to catch a couple Bonito. Capt Alberto & Antonio were friendly and knew the area well. (Tip bring cash for Fishing license & Bait. No snacks/water served)

    Response from the operator: Hello, thank you very much for visiting us. We hope the next time we have luck and fish a great Marlin

    Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.

    How much does Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas cost?

    +

    Prices start at $575 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cabo San Lucas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cabo San Lucas is not rushed.

    Is Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 40 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cabo San Lucas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cabo San Lucas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cabo San Lucas and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cabo San Lucas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cabo San Lucas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting, Cabo Whale Watching: Female Crew, Guaranteed Sightings, Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas?
