If you caught some fish and you would like to bring it with you, no problemo!
The boat crew will take it (and you) to the Marina Fillet Station. The cost is between $3-$5 USD a fish. You can take the fish with you and bring it to the restaurant of your choice or cook it up yourself.
If you want to bring the fish back to the States, you bring the fish back to our office and we vacuum seal and freeze it at no additional cost. To bring the fish on the airplane, it has to be fully frozen and in an airline approved box or a cooler. Airline approved boxes are available for purchase at our office.
A good starting point for a Fishing Charter is 10%, however in many cases, with multiple fish caught, the average effort is higher and deserving of more.
There is always something to catch here in Cabo, it just depends on what you’re looking for.
Take a look at our Fishing Calendar below to see what is in season throughout the year.
We do not have a program to match anglers that are looking to share a boat. If you would like to find someone to split the cost, our recommendation would be to ask around where you are staying.
Yes, we recommend booking a half day. You will depart when you get here, usually around 8:30 am. You will be back at the marina at around 1:30 pm. You can come back earlier depending on the time you have to be back.

This will sound fake, but it’s true. We booked a full day on Runnin with RedRum Sportsfishing. Myself and another couple were celebrating my wife’s 40th Bday.
After... read more loading the boat with Mahi and Makerel, Capt. Juan asked if we wanted to hunt for Marlin. We were ready. My wife caught a 99” 130 lbs Striped Marlin on her 40th Bday!!!!! Words cannot describe how impressed everyone was with 1st-Mate Jesus & Capt. Juan.
So impressed, my buddy told me that he checked with Capt. Juan and they had a cancellation two days later. He said, “I don’t know what you’re doing on Sat, but I’m coming back to this boat!”
We did go back on that boat! My buddy hooked a 99” 130 lbs Striped Marlin! 3 minutes after he he sat in the chair, Juan hooked another off the bow, and Jesus was putting a belt on me! WE GOT A DOUBLE!!!! Mine was 101” 150 lbs. Jesus coached me through the whole thing!
This was literally 2 of the greatest days of our lives. We actually got emotional when we hugged Juan and Jesus goodbye!!! Those two dudes are at the TOP OF THEIR GAME.. and certified BAMFs!!!!!! We will be coming back with more friends!!!

Alex and Omar are absolutely a joy to spend the day with. Everyone on the boat reeled in a Marlin and Dorado and they took time to make sure we got photos. Thank you to the staff for treating us like your only guest.

Fished two days with Redrum, one on LaNueva and one on 19’s toy. It was a great experience that started with a bang! First day produced a Blue Marlin early... read more in the morning on the one and only bite of the day! The second day was action packed, but the sea was extremely choppy and it was storming due to the hurricane. The port was going to close early in the day, however the crew still produced and with a quick limit of dorado the crew brought us back safe and sound. I have to mention it was on our return to the dock that I did have some trouble with the receptionist or maybe someone they would call their manager. As long as you stay clear from her you could have a great time! But if you do run into her your experience could go from a 5 out of 5 to just a 4! She is nasty, but the owner was an extremely nice guy who seemed genuine.
15 de October de 2021The team at Redrum got us on the fish again this year. We had a great day catching 4 marlin and 1 sailfish while we were out with them. They... read more always do a great job and we are looking forward to our next trip with them.
