What to Expect

FAQ

We are located on the Cabo Marina at Marina Cabo Plaza, in front of our boats on the A dock.

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.

If you are driving a car, the easiest place to park is the Puerto Paraiso shopping mall. For about $2.00 – $3.00 you can park there all day.

We ask that you come to the office between 6:15-6:30AM, our office opens at 6:00AM. At that time we’ll take care of your balance, get you your fishing licenses and introduce you to the crew. Your boat will be ready to go at 6:30AM.

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:

fishing in los cabos

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.
