🎯 Why Choose Cabo for Family Fishing?
Los Cabos offers:
Calm morning waters on the Sea of Cortez side — ideal for younger kids
Plentiful fish close to shore so you don’t need a long boat ride
A wide variety of species, from colorful reef fish to small tuna and snapper
Year-round fishing seasons and sunny, warm weather
☀️ Even a short half-day charter can deliver tons of excitement and a cooler full of memories.
🐟 Top Family-Friendly Fish to Catch in Cabo
Roosterfish – Exciting fighters, often caught near beaches
Sierra Mackerel – Great eating, easy to catch, and active in the mornings
Snapper & Grouper – Bottom dwellers, fun for younger kids
Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) – Found in summer/fall; colorful and acrobatic
Triggerfish & Pompano – Abundant and lively inshore options
🎣 Many of these species bite year-round and can be caught on lighter tackle — perfect for small hands.

💡 Top Tips for a Smooth & Fun Day Out
🕗 1. Start Early
Morning trips mean cooler temps, calmer seas, and more active fish. Most families prefer a 7–8am start.
🧴 2. Pack the Essentials
Bring:
Sunscreen
Hats & sunglasses
Light snacks (we provide water and drinks)
Motion sickness bands or meds if anyone is sensitive
🎒 3. Keep It Flexible
Some kids may love casting lines, others may enjoy dolphin watching or just being on the water. We're happy to mix sightseeing with fishing.
🐬 4. Look for Bonus Wildlife
We often spot sea turtles, dolphins, flying fish, and even whales (Dec–Mar) — a huge hit with the little ones!
📸 5. Don’t Forget Photos
We’ll help capture your family’s big catch — whether it’s a 5-lb snapper or a 50-lb surprise.
🍽️ Can We Eat What We Catch?
Yes! We can clean and fillet your fish — and even recommend local Cabo restaurants that will cook it for you "catch-and-cook" style.
🐟 There’s nothing cooler than seeing your kids eat a fish they just caught!
