5 Tips for Fishing with Kids in Baja – How to Make it Safe, Easy & Fun

Fishing in Baja isn’t just for seasoned anglers — it’s a perfect activity for families too!

If you’re planning to go fishing with your kids in San José del Cabo or anywhere in Baja, here are 5 expert tips from our team at Daliken to make sure the experience is safe, smooth, and memorable.

1. Choose the Right Boat

Smaller boats with shade and restroom access are ideal.

We recommend:

  • DALIKEN 26ft Super Panga – Shaded and stable
  • DALIKEN 32ft – Spacious and smooth ride for younger kids

2. Keep It Short and Sweet

Start with a 4 or 6-hour trip — enough time to enjoy the excitement without tiring them out. Mornings are best (cooler and more active bite).

3. Pack for Comfort

Bring hats, sunscreen, light snacks, and a change of clothes. We provide bottled water and a cooler for your items.

4. Set Expectations (and Celebrate Everything)

Let your kids know that even seeing fish, birds, or dolphins is part of the adventure. Celebrate every catch — no matter the size.

5. Choose the Right Crew

Look for bilingual, family-friendly captains who love what they do. At Daliken, we treat kids like VIP anglers and ensure they feel included and safe.

Bonus Tip:

Ask your captain to let them help reel in a fish — nothing beats the smile when they feel the pull!
