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.

I 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!

Best in Cabo - Hands down one of the best chartered trips I have done. Captain Juan and crew gave me memories I will never forget. 20 minutes in and we hooked up with... read more a beautiful wahoo. Then continue out to look for tuna, and in no time find the pods of porpoises. Switch the gear and double up on smaller yellowfins. They continued to work and follow the porpoises and pick up two more yellows. And just as they were gonna pick up and switch gear for marlin, a tuna boil. Couldn’t get one of the 100+ lb that were jumping, but got one about 40. Trolled on the way back in and ended the day with a 150lb marlin.
Not only was the fishing amazing, so was the service. Breakfast burrito’s, water beer and sodas included. After fish cleaning they vacuum packed my catch and held it in their freezer at no extra charge. Will definitely fish with them again and highly recommend them to anyone who even talks about Cabo!

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!!!

Went two days with Redrum Sport fishing and we did excellent on day one (14 tuna) and got skunked on day two. These guys work super hard to find... read more fish and don’t give up. We were pleased even on our zero day. We had very high & rough seas which likely affected our catch but it was still a blast. As they say, “it’s not catching, it’s fishing!” The entire staff worked to make our time special.

This 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.

Tiffany went over and beyond to assist in the planning of our week long stay. From scheduling our request to fish with Alex to personally packing our fish for travel.
... read more /> We have had 6 other trips with Redrum and she has always been a familiar, loud, joyful, welcoming presence.
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.
