Private Cabo fishing charter with Daliken Sportfishing

Fishing the whole destination

Private Fishing Charters in Cabo

When people say "Cabo," they mean the whole destination, Los Cabos, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez and pushes marlin, yellowfin tuna, dorado, wahoo and roosterfish past the coast all year long. Daliken Sportfishing fishes every part of it, from San José del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas.

Every charter is private. You never share the boat with strangers, the captain builds the day around your group, and you book directly with us on WhatsApp from the first question to the dock. No booking desks, no commissions stacked on your price.

Pay for quality and let's go fishing.

One operation, two marinas

We Fish Both Sides of Cabo

Wherever you are staying in Los Cabos, the fishing standard is the same. Our main fleet runs from Puerto Los Cabos Marina in San José del Cabo, and we also run boats from the Cabo San Lucas side.

San José del Cabo

Our main fleet of private boats departs from Puerto Los Cabos Marina, minutes from the productive Gordo Banks and the inshore roosterfish grounds. Super pangas up to a 48ft Cabo.

We had a GREAT fishing trip with Daliken. It was my first time fishing in Cabo, I will be back and will be booking with these guys again. Our guide Cesar was great and put us on a big Dorado and a Marlin.

I fished with Captain Pancho one day and Captain Francisco the next day. Both days they told me the tuna were biting and like clockwork we were bit all day. These Daliken guys know exactly what they are doing. Love fishing with Daliken, they are my go to and have been for years.

Amazing experience with Daliken Sportfishing in San José del Cabo! Booking our deep sea charter online (trip, license, and bait) made everything fast and easy. Captain Pancho was awesome, we had a full cooler of fish including a huge tuna within 3 hours. Highly recommend this crew for anyone looking for a top-notch fishing trip!

What you can catch

Fishing Seasons in Cabo

Striped marlin run strongest from late fall through spring, while blue and black marlin peak in summer and fall. Yellowfin tuna and dorado fill the warm months from June through November, wahoo show on the fall current lines, and roosterfish and sierra patrol the inshore water nearly year round. Whatever month you visit there is a real target on the table, and our captains plan each trip around what is actually biting that week, not a fixed script.

 Verified Get your fish on! My friend took me on a fishing tour with Daliken and captain Poncho. It was fantastic...the highlight of my visit to Cabo. The two of us filled the boat with tuna. We were so busy pulling fish I thought my hands were going to break off at the wrists! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Jaime, who was super cool. My buddy has been using Jaime's boats for the last 9 years (and he promised a company shirt with the 10th year)! Tons of humpback whales abound to boot. I hadn't been fishing in years but look forward to another voyage next time in San Jose del Cabo. Thanks to all at Daliken for a great day!

 Verified One of the best saltwater/offshore fishing Charters in Los Cabos Daliken is my go to Saltwater/offshore charter fishing outfit in Los Cabos. I have fished with them for years. All of their Captains have a ton of experience being from the area. The waters near San Jose del Cabo are loaded with many pelagic species and Daliken will give you the best chance at getting a prize fish. What you will fish for depends on the time of year, my most recent trip the Tuna were biting and we were steady bit from sunrise until after lunch. Great company, great captains, fish with confidence when you chose Daliken

 Verified 1st class and a great vslue A great trip with captain and his son as mate. Glassy smooth sea, trolled for Wahoo, chunked for tuna but there were none around. 1st class boat with all safety gear, 1st class equipment. If you want, your catch can be cleaned at the port and you can take some - or all of it - home or to your hotel or a restaurant for cooking.

 Verified We’ll Be Talking About This Forever! I honestly don’t even know where to start. We went out today on the 28ft boat with Captain Pancho, and from the moment we left the marina, you could tell he really knows the ocean. We came out hoping for a good day… but we ended up fighting a 300-pound tuna — something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.This wasn’t luck. Pancho knew exactly where to move, how to follow the birds, how to work the currents. When that fish hit, it was game on. The fight lasted almost two hours. The captain and deckhand guided us through every step, stayed calm the whole time, and kept us going when our arms were done.When we finally brought that tuna on board, everyone at the dock stopped to look. It didn’t feel real.If you’re looking for real fishing, not just a boat ride… this is it. Professional crew, great attitude, solid gear, and a captain who truly knows what he’s doing.Thank you Pancho and thank you Daliken. We’ll be back for sure.

 Verified Great Day! Fantastic day. Weather messed us up on the originally planned day but Jamie figured it out. Went out the following day and hooked plenty of 🐟 for the freezer. We come to Cabo frequently and will always fish with this team!

 Verified Another Unforgettable Trip with Daliken Sportfishing! We had another amazing fishing experience with Daliken Sportfishing — they are our go-to every time we visit San José del Cabo, and they never disappoint. In September, we went out on two trips: one targeting tuna, and the other going after mahi and marlin. Both days were an absolute blast!The first trip was all about the tuna — fast-paced, non-stop action! The second trip was even more memorable. We went out on a smaller boat with Captain Pancho, and it turned out to be the most unforgettable fishing trip of our lives. We landed a HUGE blue marlin, followed by a striped marlin. Truly incredible.Captain Pancho and his son (who is also a captain) were the perfect team — calm, composed, and total pros. Their professionalism made the whole experience even more special.I can't say enough great things about the entire Daliken team — from the owners and managers to the captains and crew. They go above and beyond every single time. Can’t wait to fish with them again!

 Verified Amazing Experience with Daliken Sportfishing in San José del Cabo We went out with Captain Ulices, and from the very beginning, his knowledge and dedication were clear. He took us straight to the right spots, and we had an excellent day of fishing. The crew was very friendly and professional, making the whole trip enjoyable.One of the best parts was that when we returned to the marina, they vacuum-packed all of our fish—super clean, fresh, and ready to take home. It made the whole experience complete: unforgettable fishing and the peace of mind of keeping our catch in the best condition.I highly recommend Daliken Sportfishing if you’re looking for a safe, professional, and authentic fishing trip in Los Cabos. We will definitely be back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Crew was nice. Rough day at sea. Went with kids who couldn’t manage the 6-7ft seas, so we didn’t get all the way out there for dorado and Marlin. We then fished towards the shore for roosters but not a bite. Went by pretty sluggishly. The 43ft yacht for 6hrs only comes with 2 bags of chips, water, a few sodas and a 12-pack of beer. Per our conversation, they would have breakfast and lunch on the boat, but the morning of they said only snacks. So we bought burritos at the marina for breakfast. For $2200, I’d expect a little more luxury to the luxury yacht.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our first trip and it exceeded expectations! Great sea boat Captain - Pancho. Only 30 minutes out and limited out on Dorado so I got my 10 weight fly rod out and did some catch and release sight fishing. That really was a dream come true. So, we decided to go for Marlin. My wife and I hooked up on Marlin at the same time! It was unbelievable. Thanks for the experience!

It was my first time fishing in Cabo, I will be back and will be booking with these guys again. Our guide Cesar was great and put us on a big Dorado and a Marlin. We took some fish to eat tonight and gave some to our guide and those who cleaned & fileted. Daliken vacuum sealed, froze, and dropped off the rest at our hotel the morning of our flight home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Do NOT book the YKNOT boat with this company. It only has one motor and the bathroom is not working. It's completely trashed and in horrible condition. Booked a four hour trip and basically they held us out there for over 6 almost 7 hours when we had other trips planned. The boat can go max probably 10 mi an hour. The boat needs to be taken out of commission.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My friend and I had an absolute blast fishing with Hollywood. He continuously helped find fish and made sure that we both caught something. After the trip, he brought us to a restaurant that cooked our fresh fish and my friend and I loved it. We would definitely recommend Hollywood as a guide and will continue to fish with him when we come back to Cabo.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The captain and mate were great! They put us on the fish. One downside was the minor language barrier. Another downside was the lack of a fighting belt which would have been nice while fighting a tuna. However, Philippe was great! He was able to get our fish processed and vacuum sealed and he personally delivered it to our hotel. That’s some great customer service right there!
