Had an all girls trip for my 40th bday. The morning could not have been any better, from catching Mahi Mahi then to top it of the 94” Striped Marlin, plus we seen 2 sea turtles and the 2 seals riding on our boat going into the marina. Cesar and Javier were superb! I will book with them again.
This is the second time we booked El Pargo in the last year. Our first booking experience we had a different captain and different deckhand. The first experience was so fun we booked again. This experience unfortunately left a lot to be desired. To start the trip off we were told Tuna was out of the question as Tuna was too far (50-80miles away), I found this odd since the previous day we were on another boat and caught tuna no problem. We told the captain instead we wanted to try for Durado and maybe Marlin and if no bites we’d settle for bottom fishing. We wound up spending the whole day on Marlin so I think there may have been a miscommunication, even after we asked the deckhand midday if we were going to fish bottom at any point and he said yes. After 0 bites we finally hooked onto a Marlin, unfortunately the Marlin snapped off. It seemed weird the boat never moved or helped fight the fish like the countless other Marlin experiences I had, after asking I was told there was a miscommunication between the deckhand and captain on where the fish was moving and how to position the boat. I get it and mistakes happened so no harm done, unfortunately that was our only bite. Should I have brought up the bottom fishing more than the two times I did? Probably. Did I find it weird they weren’t willing to go after Tuna and stated it’s too far away after the day before we caught so many on another boat? Yes. Overall the experience was fun, scenery was beautiful and the food/drinks were good. I wish we had the original crew last year and we went after tuna. We chartered another boat 3 days later and caught some more so the trip was good. Id recommend El Pargo, id just make sure to communicate very well with the crew and insist on going after what you want. There’s so many other boats available in Cabo it’s always nice to try different ones too.

Pancho was great to be with! He is very acknowledged about what to use and explaining what kind of fish you are catching! The water was pretty choppy and we didn’t catch the big fish that is why it’s called fishing! The captain was amazing at controling the boat when we hooked onto fish! Very good Captain and super friendly crew! I can’t wait to come back and fish with El Pargo!
Our full day trip started off hot in some choppy waters with 6 mahi hook up (5 landed) and one Marlin hook up that broke up after a brief fight. The team did a great job not only working the spread but put us on some good action while it lasted. We did have a few other Marlin look at the buffet but no takers. Oh well, a reason to return.
The crew ensured we were comfortable and aware of the plan and what was going on.
I would highly recommend that you hook up with the El Pargo crew for your next trip in Cabo, I surely will!

Was a good trip. Crew was friendly and knowledgeable. We caught a few fish. If you like fishing, I would recommend.
