Tuna Fishing in Los Cabos – Target Yellowfin
High-speed offshore trips for serious anglers chasing power, speed, and sashimi-grade fish.
Quick Answer
Yellowfin tuna fishing in Los Cabos is best from June through November, with the peak bite usually from August to October.
Tuna are commonly found 20–40 miles offshore near temperature breaks, bait balls, and porpoise schools.
For the best odds, choose a 6–8 hour offshore trip using trolling and live bait with a crew that tracks birds and sonar marks.
If you’re looking for hard-pulling, high-speed offshore fishing, yellowfin tuna is your target — and Los Cabos is one of the best places in the world to catch them.

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!

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

Lovely experience!
Had a great time out on the water! Caught a variety of fish with our guides help! Two huge tuna were by far the finest catch of the day!

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.

Perfect fishing
Perfect experience. Ruben didnt speak a lot of English but he was very nice and we caught a lot of fish for a small period of time. Prices was also great and you get all the fish cleaned and fillet.

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.

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!

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!

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!
