Los Cabos Fishing & Charters

Sportfishing in Los Cabos is a year-round activity, and specific seasons highlight the wealth of species here.

Los Cabos could quite possibly be the perfect embodiment of a fisherman’s Eden. Its alluring waters even drew Ernest Hemingway, the godfather of modern sportfishing, to sample its bounty. What used to be a remote coastal village, an aquatic gem at the end of a long desert highway, is now an easily accessible fishing destination open to anyone wishing to get a taste of world-class angling. Flanked by the sprawling Pacific Ocean on one side and the Sea of Cortez on the other, the Baja California peninsula is surrounded by prolific, nutrient-rich waters that fuel an immense marine food chain, where diverse inshore and offshore opportunities hold promise of a day’s bountiful catch.
