Why choose Exotic Fish Cabo in San Jose del Cabo
Exotic Fish Cabo runs private sportfishing charters from Puerto Los Cabos Marina in San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Trips depart at 6:30 am.
3/4‑day charter (about 6 hours): from USD 350 per private boat, 1–2 guests.
Full‑day charter (about 8 hours): from USD 550 per private boat. Boats up to 10 guests available.
Every charter is private: your group has the boat to itself. Typical targets, depending on the season, are marlin, tuna, dorado, wahoo, and roosterfish.
We're not a booking agency. We're the ones who answer.
Many "charter" sites you'll find online are marketplaces: they take your booking, then hand you off to whichever boat happens to be free that day. You never know who you're actually fishing with until you show up at the dock.
With us, the person who answers your message is the same person who knows every captain we work with personally, who's been on these waters for over a decade, and who stakes our reputation on every single trip going right.
From 2015 to 2025: ten straight years of 5‑star reviews.
We didn’t earn excellence just once — we earned it every year for a decade. This distinction is reserved for operators who never let quality slip, season after season. That consistency costs money: better‑maintained boats, experienced captains who don’t cut corners, and gear that’s replaced before it becomes a problem, not after.
What the lower price usually means
We're not here to trash anyone else's business. But if a quote seems too good, it's worth asking:
Is the boat shared with strangers, or private for your group only?
Is the captain full‑time and experienced, or whoever’s available that day?
Is safety equipment current, or just present?
We don’t cut those corners. That’s the difference you’re paying for.
Real trips, real people, updated daily
Our Fishing Reports aren’t stock photos — they’re daily trips, real guests, real fish, posted as they happen. Scroll through them and you’ll see exactly what a day with us looks like before you ever book.
Bottom line
You could pay less elsewhere and get a boat with a rod. With us, you benefit from decades of local knowledge, a crew trusted by thousands of satisfied customers worldwide, and someone who personally handles your requests whenever adjustments are needed.
