If you are taking a taxi, you can tell them to drop you off past the Marina Fiesta Hotel, there is a drop off and an entrance onto the Marina walkway. Turn the corner right after Dock A and you will see our shop lit up with a “Mar Vida” and “The Porch” sign out front.

Depending on the conditions, or what you’re looking to target, we have a few different spots where we go to fish.
Take a look at our usual fishing grounds below:
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.
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.
If you would like to talk to a member of Team Mar Vida, we would be happy to answer any questions you have. You can reach us from the US at 760-481-7667 or while in Cabo San Lucas at our local number 624-172-0085. You can also send us an email to info@redrumcabo.com and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

We hired Redrum for a full day of fishing the Monday before the recent storm. We set off early, eventually catching 9 mahi-mahi before 11:00 a.m. we then... read more went out further, but got no bites on bigger fish. Regardless, Juan and Jesus were excellent and we had a great experience.
16 de October de 2021Great experience from beginning to end. They answered their phone and addressed all of our questions. Their pricing is very reasonable and includes taxes and bait (not all... read more charters do). The boats are nice and the equipment is good. We left on time and were into Marlins as soon as we got to the 'spot'. They are also very conveniently located in the marina. We will definitely use them again when we go back.
26 de January de 2022This place was recommended to me by a local friend down there that buys his bait from them. Did not disappoint. They set me up with a half day panga,... read more met me down there early that morning, and provided us with all the bait we needed. Caught a bunch of dorado and had a blast. Capt Carlos was a good guy.

Great trip fishing for dorado and marlin. The crew was friendly and professional. The staff made sure we took off with out a hitch. We chartered a... read more day trip but crushed our limit of dorado in 30 minutes, 8 dorado total so we spent the rest of the time looking for marlin we caught a great one and returned it to the ocean. They filleted the fish and vacuum sealed it for us about 30lbs in total. I would highly recommend them
6 de November de 2020I am sharing my wonderful experience, because it truly was just that! We went out on oh so rojo with Ramon as our Captain and Marcus as our first mate,... read more and not only did we catch fish, but the entire experience was a 5-star experience. My boyfriend has fished his entire life, but has never had the opportunity of deep sea fishing before. RedRum made our experience top notch from the very beginning. We spent the entire day laughing, smiling, and having an incredible time. I would highly recommend RedRum fishing to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and well chartered deep-sea fishing operation!
1 de November de 2020Fished 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.
