trip description for Deep Sea Cabo - 48' Riviera in Cabo San Lucas

Explore the Marlin Capital of the World on an experienced, personable, and family-run charter with Captain Eddy! Captain Eddy, Julio, and First Mate Armando provide a full-service fishing experience with a qualified staff and proven captains. On this trip, you'll head out to chase down some awesome pelagic sportfish on live baits! Once you're out to the fishing grounds, you will troll the deep water for all kinds of pelagic fish. Marlin, Sailfish, and other billfish are popular target species, and all billfish are 100% released. These fish put up awesome fights and make for awesome memories and photos, but are targeted in such high volume that keeping them would quickly deplete their population. Luckily, there are tons of other tasty species to catch and keep, including Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Snapper, multiple Grouper species, and many more! When you come on an offshore fishing trip with Eddy and his crew, you can be sure that all of the tackle and gear will be provided for you, and you can purchase a fishing license when you arrive. However, there are a few things that you should bring with you to make sure you have a great time. First, be sure to bring any boating essentials that you might need. This includes items like sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and towels. Second, be sure to bring enough food and drinks for everyone on the trip. The team will provide water and ice, but you should bring your own snacks and drinks. Lastly, don't forget to bring your camera to capture all of the memories from your trip! Read More

On this trip, you'll go after several incredible sportfish species with Captain Manuel, a true local expert from a multi-generational fishing family. There's truly no better opportunity to reel in a prizewinner. Cabo is know worldwide as a sportfishing destination due to its unique location at the tip of the Baja Peninsula and its proximity to deep, rich offshore fishing grounds. These areas are ideal for pelagic predators such as Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo. Closer to shore, there's also opportunities for Roosterfish, a funky-looking Pacific gamefish that makes a great photo or trophy. Every single one of these fish is a true prizefighter, and they'll test your skills, strength, and stamina. You'll be fishing from the deck of Captain Manuel's 31' Bertram sportfisher, which sports twin Cummins engines with a combined 420 horsepower. She's an ideal boat for this level of offshore fishing, and comes ready with everything you need for a comfortable and successful trip, including an air-conditioned cabin, a full head, multimedia sound system, staterooms, and more.

    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!

  • ★★★★★
    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!
