Los Cabos has long been the destination of choice for the world’s most adventurous and active travelers. What was once a sleepy fishing village, has become the most vibrant and diverse of Mexico’s beach resorts. Blessed with incredible year-round weather, magnificent vistas and two seas, it is no wonder visitors from around the globe have rated Los Cabos number one for fishing, diving and boating. Recognized as the “Marlin Capital of the World”, Los Cabos boasts the largest and most sophisticated sport fishing fleet in Mexico. With luxury charters operating from two world-class yacht marinas in Puerto Los Cabos and Cabo San Lucas, it is no surprise the region attracts fisherman from around the world ready to test their skills on the widest variety of game fish on the planet. For the last 38 years, Los Cabos has been home to the Bisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin Tournament, the richest tournament in the sport. The 2018 event had 114 teams competing in the waters off the tip of Mexico’s Baja California both in the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortes. A 510-pound black marlin on the final day of the Bisbee Black & Blue Tournament was worth a staggering $3,004,900 to angler Charlie Lee and California-based Team Chinito Bonito. You don’t have to be a tournament fisherman to share in the excitement. All forms of deep-sea fishing can be found in Los Cabos; fish from the surf in front of your hotel, charter a local “panga” or luxury cruiser, or go kayak fishing with some of the most talented guides in the sport.
