Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

Deep sea fishing in Cabo

Cabo San Lucas, commonly referred to simply as Cabo, located at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, is renowned worldwide as a premier destination for offshore fishing. This resort city, famed for its stunning beaches, lively nightlife, and luxurious resorts, also boasts some of the most prolific deep sea fishing waters in the world.

The waters off Cabo San Lucas are incredibly rich and diverse, offering anglers the opportunity to target a wide range of game fish. The area is particularly famous for its Marlin fishing, earning the title of "Marlin Capital of the World." Besides Marlin, other popular catches include Sailfish, Dorado (Mahi-Mahi), Wahoo, and various species of Tuna, including Yellowfin Tuna. The unique geographic location where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez creates an ideal environment for these species, especially during specific seasons.

Cabo's offshore fishing is enhanced by its year-round fishing season. The area's climate and ocean currents create ideal conditions for fishing at almost any time of the year, with different species being more prevalent in certain months. This makes Cabo a highly attractive destination for both casual anglers and serious sportfishing enthusiasts.

The city offers a wide range of fishing charters and experienced captains who are adept at navigating these bountiful waters. These charters provide various options to suit all levels of experience, from half-day trips ideal for families or beginners, to full-day and multi-day excursions targeting the biggest and most challenging game fish. The expertise of Cabo's captains and the quality of the fishing boats are well-regarded in the sportfishing community.

For sportfishing enthusiasts, Cabo San Lucas is a dream destination. The area hosts numerous prestigious fishing tournaments throughout the year, drawing competitive anglers from across the globe. The thrill of battling a large Marlin or a feisty Tuna in these waters is unmatched and provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Aside from fishing, Cabo San Lucas offers a wealth of other attractions. From its stunning natural rock formations like El Arco to its luxury resorts, vibrant nightlife, and water sports, Cabo provides a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

    An amazing trip! 3 couples set out for a 6-hour experience on the Sea of Cortez - we were not disappointed...caught 2 marlins, one of which was the largest catch of our lives at 150 pounds. Jaime was great, he set us up quick and easy. Got our fishing licenses at the marina on the morning of our trip. Coming back again next year...

    We had a great trip With a great crew who was accommodating and worked hard to put us on fish. Caught skipjack tuna and dorado (March is not the best month for fishing in Cabo) but we caught plenty of fish and had a great trip. I’d use this outfit again.

    Excellent captain and experience; highly recommend! Although we only caught a few, he’s a great guy, trustworthy and also helped us with some local restaurant recommendations and connecting us with some of his local friends. Five Stars all the way. I will be a repeat customer.

    Trip: Classic Cabo Sportfish Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We had a blast with Captain Jorge and Alex. Started the morning off with coffee and breakfast tacos as we headed out in search of Mahi off the Pacific side of Cabo. Caught a couple of keepers and some smaller tuna, then took our fresh Mahi over to Alexanders right across from the marina where they cook the fish a few different ways. Definitely recommend hopping on any of the trips Jim and team offer!

    Trip: Cabo VIP Fishing - 32’ Luhrs

  • ★★★★★
    FIVE STARS AMAZING! I booked my first every deep sea fishing guide for myself and two other fishing experts so the pressure was on and I had no idea what I was doing. Luckily Captain Experience was so easy, the selection was great, the signup process through to the day of instructions and QR code was a breeze. We had the most amazing time! I got the impression we received special treatment from the crew by booking through Caption Experience. I will 100% use this service again, no stress and a guaranteed great time. Thank you all so much for all your help, it was a fantastic day I wont soon forget. Can't wait to book another trip!

    Trip: Deep Sea Cabo - 48' Riviera

  • ★★★★★
    This was our first ever fishing trip and we had an amazing time. Captain Eddy made sure all our needs were met, and the crew Julio and Jose were so encouraging and enthusiastic. We caught several fish right away and were able to enjoy fresh tuna sashimi that the crew prepared from what we caught. We went further out and had the awesome experience of catching a striper marlin! We saw whales and also fed seals right off of the boat. The crew made our experience truly unforgettable and we can’t wait to go back and do it again!

    Trip: Cabo All-Inclusive Deep Sea Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Highly recommend. Everything was explained very well by the owner in an email before the trip (where to go, what to bring) and ended up catching a trophy Mahi! Had the fish cooked fresh at Alexander’s 4 different ways at the marina afterwards. Capt. Julio and Jorge have been fishing these waters for over 20 years and are very knowledgeable. We will be booking again very soon for marlin season. Thank you again!

    Trip: Cabo VIP Fishing - 32’ Luhrs

  • ★★★★★
    Another great Captain Experiences trip in the books! While the seasonal timing wasn't the best, this was top notch as always and very up front about catch expectations. The crew worked tirelessly to put us on some fish and succeeded in getting us in some Dorado. This was a family trip aimed at exposing fishing newbies to the experience and spending time together on the water. Success all around! As the saying goes, "There is no such thing as a bad fishing day". Huge shoutout to the impeccable crew, equipment, and service. This was my second trip with these guys, and I will definitely be back!!!

    Where do I begin…AMAZING! From the moment we boarded it was 5 star. Captain David was a true pro and the guides were talented, friendly, and made the whole experience next level. I’ll never forget this day! Shark ✔️ Marlin ✔️ & we got to meet a sea lion. Not to forget the countless dolphins putting on a show and a breathtaking whale breach. Exceptional. Highly recommended.

    Trip: Cabo VIP Fishing - 32’ Luhrs

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Casey was very professional and knowledgeable. His 2 crew were very experienced, and his boat is a fishing machine. On our full day charter we experienced bad weather and had to cut the trip short. A minor leak in a tranny hose kept us from traveling at full speed on our return to the marina, so it took a little longer than expected. Casey offered us a free half day trip the following day, which i thought was a very professional way to handle this. Based on our short time in Cabo we couldnt take him up on this, so he reduced my fee to a half day charter. Again a very professional way to handle this. We didnt catch the fish we hoped for, but i have no issues with booking with Casey on my next trip to Cabo.

    Trip: Cabo Trophy Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Having fished all over North America, I can say without a doubt that this was the easiest & most successful fishing venture I've ever been on! The awesome staff at Captain Experiences helped me understand which charter out of Cabo would be best for my group, and Captain Raul & his team led by Captain Pepe over delivered! We caught plenty of fish including some massive yellowtails, spent the sunrise watching enormous whales breach the surface, and wrapped up the day with some fresh sashimi from our catch. We had first-time fishers and lifelong anglers on the boat and everyone left in fantastic spirits! Looking forward to doing it all again on our next trip to Cabo!
