How Much Does a Cabo Fishing Charter Cost? Here’s What to Know
If you're planning a fishing trip in Cabo San Lucas, one of the first things you'll want to know is: How much does a fishing charter actually cost? The answer? It depends—on the type of trip, boat, and experience you’re looking for.
At Epic Ventures Fishing Charters, we believe in transparent pricing, no surprises, and delivering unforgettable days on the water—so let’s break down what goes into the cost of a Cabo fishing charter and what you can expect.
💰 Average Cost of a Fishing Charter in Cabo
While prices vary, here’s a general breakdown of what you might pay:
⚠️ Note: These are ballpark figures. Prices can fluctuate based on boat size, amenities, and peak travel seasons.
🛥️ What Factors Affect the Price?
Not all fishing charters are created equal. Here are the main variables that impact pricing:
1. Private vs. Shared Trips
Shared charters are more budget-friendly since you split the cost.
Private charters offer a customized, exclusive experience (and more control over the trip).
2. Boat Size & Amenities
Larger boats with air conditioning, cabins, restrooms, or multiple fighting chairs will naturally cost more than smaller center consoles.
3. Trip Length
A half-day trip is usually 4–5 hours. A full-day trip runs 8+ hours and gives you time to travel to better fishing grounds and target larger species like marlin and tuna.
4. Fishing Season
Peak season (May–October) can increase demand and raise prices slightly. Booking in advance is always smart.
5. Inclusions
Some charters include everything; others may require extra fees for things like:
Fishing licenses
Bait and tackle
Food and drinks
Fish cleaning and filleting
At Epic Ventures, we offer clear, upfront pricing—no hidden costs.
