Kingfish Cabo is fantastic! We chartered a 35 foot Cabo Express which worked well for our family of four. The sea was a bit rough and wish we had gone with a bigger boat but the boat itself was great. We told the crew we hoped to catch a Marlin and the captain smiled and said, “Let’s do it!” We ran to deeper water in about 45 minutes at 6:30a.m. The simple continental breakfast on board was great. We enjoyed breakfast while the two crew members worked on getting everything set. We started trolling and within 30 minutes we hooked a Marlin. After a 45 minute fight we landed a 160 pound striped. It was awesome! My son got really seasick and the crew could not be more kind and felt badly for him. As the seas were rough and we accomplished what we had hoped to do, we cut the trip short and headed back to port. The chef prepared our lunch at the dock and we had a fantastic meal there. The tacos and ceviche were amazing! Truly one of the best charter experiences we have had!

We typically take go fishing on every vacation and this was the best trip to date. We used Kingfish Cabo last year but two of our guests got extremely seasick so we had to cut the trip short. That crew was great and very understanding. When we called to rebook this year, they were extremely nice and offered us a larger boat at a wonderful price. Wow - the boat Mi Vieja was amazing - large and fully equipped. The crew - Arturo, Samuel, Oscar and Mario were the best! We caught two large marlin and spend the day on the ocean, eating amazing food prepared by Oscar. We highly recommend the Kingfish Cabo and this crew to anyone looking for a great day on the ocean!

What a great charter for our family of 7 adults! We chose the 8 hour trip on the 40' Calita, which is all inclusive including a fruit & pastry breakfast, tacos & cerviche lunch, beer, liquor & mixers, water & soda. Also included are fishing licenses and no added fees or taxes with a secure website for payment. The price they quote is what you pay except gratuities to the crew. The owner Michael was quick to respond to all my chat questions and emails.
Ramone, Javier & David got us on a marlin within 30 minutes of leaving the marina. We caught 2 nice ones and 3 others that got away after a fight. Also saw sea turtles, hammerhead shark and dolphins.
David waited on all of us hand and foot. Breakfast was ready when we boarded at 6:15am. He prepared lunch that afternoon that was yummy, mixed drinks and offered beer & water all day. We especially appreciated his quick action and compassion when 2 of our group became seasick. A little bit of a damper for our trip but still an incredible experience!
An fyi...you go right by the Cabo arch on the way out of the marina and they paused for photo opps. I would highly recommend Kingfish Cabo for their excellent management, all inclusive option and highly experienced crew.

We have now concluded our fishing trip with kingfish Cabo
What a trip!
We were early arriving at 5:45 am and was shortly greeted by miss Liz.
Liz got us onto the Bertram 40 foot as promised and away we went.
Senior Roberto our captain was great he got us started on time and put us onto our first Durado in 15 minutes.
Young senior Victor our first mate was fantastic. Maning multiple rods at a time and changing tackle regularly to put us onto different fish was done effortlessly. He was like a ocean in motion, smooth and repetitive
After catching 9 Durado senior Roberto headed South and started retiring back to Cabo. Victor changed the gear and we set up for Marlin. As we spead up the Marlin jigs were hoping behind us. All of a sudden a rod to my left started really shaking and baking. Victor maned the rod and senior Roberto put the Volvo Pentas into the power mode setting the line tight to the stripped Marlin behind us. Black smoke poured out for a moment and I manned the fighting chair. The crew was great and we landed a 90 inch Stripped Marlin.
We cannot forget Senior Manuel manning the kitchen. More than expected Manuel prepared fresh guacamole fresh tuna, chicken, and Beef tacos, tropical ceviche and shrimp ceviche.
We cannot forget the libations which were plentiful as needed. Perfecto!!!
Needless to say it was a successful experience fishing with Kingfisher Cabo
Thank YOU Michael and Katy

Michaels team at Kingfish did an incredible job for my group! From prebooking to pulling back into the marina, the entire team was responsive to my requests and easy to work with. The crew worked hard to make sure my friends had a great day on the water and received the VIP experience. Half of my group had never been deep sea fishing and the they made sure all of them got on the line, had a full drink, and plenty of delicious tacos from the onboard chef. Everyone in my group caught fish and came back to the marina happy. From now on, when in Cabo I will always charter with Kingfish. Thank you and keep up the great work!!!

Excellent communication from everyone, start to finish! Above and beyond attention to detail! The crew was awesome!!! The fishing was great fun, with my wife catching her first Dorado. The Food was amazing...the chef started us with Coffee, tea and Mexican Pastries. Then chips and guacamole, ceviche then tacos and then he cooked up a filet of our just caught Dorado. A couple of nice cocktails on our way back in, topped of with a chocolate birthday cake!!!
We will use Kingfish Charters every time we visit Cabo and recommend them to all our friends and Family!

What a terrific little local fishing charter we were fortunate to find while visiting Cabo this week. From the care for our safety and Covid-19 precautions to include temperature taking and sanitizing before boarding and he boat, to the crew wearing face coverings, this company gets it! We had our own chef taking care of our every need. Always refilling refreshments and serving fresh ceviche and guacamole as we enjoyed our 5 hour fishing morning. Captain Mario, a local homegrown captain was such a breathe of fresh air. He had a smile on his face all day and took in all 500+ questions my son peppered him with as we trolled through the Sea of Cortez. We caught two marlin and the deck hand couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. What a great group of guys and overall terrific experience. Please support this company!

We visited Cabo with my parents and spent a wonderful day with the Kingfish crew. They’d asked ahead of time if it was a special occasion so we let them know it was mine and my husbands first anniversary while on the trip. Upon arrival they had a banner hung saying “happy anniversary”! It was such a sweet touch. Our captain Ramon was the first one out of the marina. Breakfast was provided by David as we watched the sunrise while riding out into the ocean. Julio got the lines ready and before you know it we reeled in our first dorado. From there it was catch after catch for the first couple of hours!! I think we caught about 8 overall, with 4 being released. Needless to say it was very exciting and fun!! Julio filleted our dorado right there on the boat. David made us fresh melon and mango cocktails that were delicious! He also served salsa/guac/seviche and sashimi with our dorado we caught!! Not to mention we had a full taco lunch after all of this. The food was incredible, as was the service. We didn’t catch any fish the last few hours of the trip, but we had plenty of food and drink to keep us busy—not to mention beautiful scenery and great company. To top it off, the guys gave us a cake with “happy anniversary” on top as we were coming back into the marina! Again, such a sweet touch. We had a visit from a seal on the way back in which was also really cool. Lastly, Kingfish helped guide us through the process of getting our fish vacuum sealed and ready to bring back in a cooler. Top notch service all around! Would absolutely recommend!

Can’t say enough good about this fishing charter. We went for my husbands birthday and the crew went above and beyond to make it memorable for all of us. There were 4 of us that went and they saw to all of our needs. We wanted for nothing. Just when we thought we were only going to see dolphins, whales, and yes turtles, that is when the marlin started hitting. We landed 5 marlins on line and were able to get 3 onboard with the help of the crew. Thea were amazing. If you want a trip that you’ll never be able to top I’d recommend this group hands down. Hector was the captain, Hugo was the deckhand and Oscar was or chef. Given the opportunity I’d recommend this or have them again personally.

I’ve been fishing all over the world for every kind of fish for years. Have caught a Marlin or two. I’ve also spent thousands with my son and brother fishing w all kinds of captains trying to have a day like we had with Captain Jose and his mates Victor and Ventura on Il Capricio. 7 striped Marlin during a wild 7 hour trip!
The experience was fantastic all around from Kingfish Cabo and no surprises. Michael the owner and his team were extremely professional, communication from start to finish was impeccable. Cost included everything like cocktails, beers, lunch, snacks and licenses. Equipment was top notch, the boat was clean and beautiful and they all worked very hard and were just as excited as my wife and I to fly 7 flags at the end of the day.
One of my best days of fishing in 30 years. Book with these guys, you will not be disappointed. I will be back soon and often!

Not sure. Our trip was adults only. I would say the team was very helpful and nice.
