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.

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.

Absolutely Bucket list trip- Big Chuy and little Chuy put us on 5 Stripped Marlin - all Caught and Released. These guys are the best in Cabo- professional,... read more state of the art Tackle. 3rd time to book a trip and already looking forward to our trip next year with them.
6 de January de 2023We booked 3 days of fishing on the Red Rum. We have fished Cabo many times so we thought we knew what to expect. What we were impressed... read more with was the smooth operation of the Red Rum Team. From the reservation process with Tiffany to the morning of with Toby to the best crew I have fished with (Omar and Pedro) everyone was courteous, professional and put us on FISH!!!! Tiffany even arranged for us to get tested at the office when USA started requiring them 24 hours before departure. Vacuum sealing the fish after getting them filleted was a very nice touch.
21 de December de 2021Just back from second trip fishing with RedRum since July, and we had an excellent experience in all aspects. Great boats, crew, equipment, beverages and lunch. Newish owner... read more Toby (+/- 2 years) has ramped up the experience.
All 8 were CCA folks on 2 boats, and regulars with RedRum. Total catch was 35 Dorado, 13 striped Marlin, 14 yellowfin tuna, and one really nice sailfish.
I have personally fished with RedRum 8 or 9 times since 2014, and recommended RedRum to at least 4 groups that have all had an equally great experience.

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!!!
7 de December de 2021Went 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.
27 de July de 2021Great 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
