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.

SMOOTHEST RIDE ON THE WATER ...EVER!! 8 MARLIN A BLAST! Just finished a full day fishing trip on the "High Density" with Captain Kevin, Miguel, Thomas and... read more April. The team was amazing! I booked with Tiffany at RedRum over a month ago. She made sure we knew where to go, what to expect and had everything in good order. Was always easy to reach. We arrived at 6:45am and spent a full day out before returning to the dock after 4pm. The Captain and crew went out of their way to make sure we had an incredible experience. Provided great food, snacks, drinks and conversation. Captain Kevin, Manual and Thomas hooked my family up all day and worked really hard to get us on some good fishing after a full moon night where fish aren't typically quite as aggressive. My daughter caught a wahu early which April made into a tasty shishimi for lunch. We ended up with 8 marlin hooked and 6 caught! Of the four of us only 1 was an experienced fisherman! That didn't matter. The crew helped us, the Captain coached us on what to do and really worked hard to help us land our catch! The striped marlin were huge and put up amazing fights. My daughter fought hers for over 1 hour! It was crazy fun! We had a great day! I will load some pictures when transferred from my phone.
While I can't say enough about the crew, the "High Density" is also an amazing sportsfishing vessell. The "seakeeper 26" gyro is the real deal. It really does reduce the "roll" by 90+%. I have always gotten seasick and we were worried about it. While we saw other boats "rocking" away, the High Density was smooth and comfortable! Really amazing!! My family is now spoiled and said they never want to be on another boat that doesn't have the "seakeeper" system! It really made the trip a joy! So much fun!!
So....our hats are off to the Captain and crew. I also want to THANK the owner for investing in this boat, equipmen and crew! Everything was top notch. The Captain talked about what a great owner and how much care is put into this boat!
So....the High Density is worth every penny of the rental. Definitely do the full day. Our morning was sparse but we finished strong with most of our fish on the hook after lunch!
An added bonus was seeing whales, porpoises, dolphin and birds all day!
We will definitely be back! My family is now "hooked"!
PS... Boat is immaculate and clean. Very well cared for. Crew was professional. Everything had a place. Everyone treated the vessel and equipment with care. Amazing!
19 de December de 2021Tiffany 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.

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.

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!
