How to Choose the Right Fishing Charter in Los Cabos

With its world-renowned waters, stunning coastline, and a variety of trophy fish species, Los Cabos is a fishing paradise. But with so many charter options to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or planning your very first fishing trip, picking the right charter can make or break your experience.

At Epic Ventures Fishing Charters, we want to make sure you know exactly what to look for—so you can spend less time stressing and more time reeling in the catch of a lifetime.

1. Know What Kind of Fishing You Want to Do

Start by deciding what type of fishing experience you're after:

• Deep Sea Fishing – Perfect for chasing marlin, tuna, wahoo, and dorado.

• Inshore Fishing – Great for roosterfish, snapper, and more, often in calmer waters.

• Sportfishing – For serious anglers looking for a high-adrenaline challenge and big-game species.

• Family-Friendly Excursions – Focused on fun, safe, and interactive experiences for kids and beginners.
  

Each charter may specialize in different styles, so it’s important to choose one that matches your goals.

2. Check the Boat and Equipment

Not all boats are created equal. When choosing a fishing charter, make sure:

• The boat is well-maintained, clean, and suited to the type of fishing you want to do.

• The gear is top-quality and regularly serviced.

• Safety equipment, including life vests and communication devices, is up to date.
  

At Epic Ventures, we pride ourselves on running fully equipped, professionally maintained vessels ready for anything the ocean throws at us.

3. Experience and Local Knowledge Matter

The best captains don’t just know how to operate a boat—they know where the fish are and how to find them in any conditions.

Ask about:

• Years of experience fishing in Los Cabos

• Knowledge of seasonal patterns and hotspots

• Tournament experience or certifications
  

Our crew at Epic Ventures has years of local knowledge and knows these waters like the back of their hand.

4. Read Reviews and Ask Questions

Before you book, take a few minutes to check:

• Online reviews and client testimonials

• Social media posts and photos of recent trips

• Whether the company is responsive and helpful when you reach out
  

Pro tip: A company that communicates clearly and quickly before your trip will likely go the extra mile once you’re on the water, too.

5. Understand What's Included

Not all fishing charters include the same amenities. Be sure to ask:

• Is the fishing license included?

• Are snacks, drinks, or lunch provided?

• What about bait, tackle, and ice?

• Are there extra fees for cleaning your catch or bringing extra guests?
  

At Epic Ventures, we keep things transparent and hassle-free, with no hidden costs and everything you need for an epic day already onboard.

6. Consider Your Comfort

Especially for longer trips, comfort makes a big difference:

• Is there shade or a cabin?

• Is there a restroom on board?

• Is the boat stable for those prone to seasickness?
  

We’ve outfitted our boats with angler comfort in mind—so you can focus on the fish, not the fatigue.
