Fish Tale’s is here to show you the stunning waters of Cabo San Lucas. Captain Ricardo will be your guide, bringing aboard years of angling experience.

Black Grouper, Yellowtail Amberjack, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Striped Marlin, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Ricardo runs a 31’ Bertram that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It’s customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation. You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Capt. Ricardo welcomes children aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. It’s always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Fish Tale’s and get hooked!
