  • Cabo is famous for world-class fishing, and our captains know exactly where to go. Depending on the day, you might find marlin, mahi, tuna, wahoo, or snapper waiting for you.

  • From December through April, you may spot humpback and gray whales breaching along the coastline. It’s one of Cabo’s most unforgettable experiences — and best viewed right from the deck.
