About Picante Sportfishing
Picante Sportfishing has been one of Cabo San Lucas's premier deep-sea fishing operations since 1995, running a 100% company-owned fleet of nine vessels ranging from 31 to 45 feet. Based at Puerto Paraiso in the heart of the marina, Picante specialises in offshore charters targeting marlin, tuna, wahoo, and dorado in the nutrient-rich waters where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. Their three decades of tournament wins and record catches have cemented their status as one of the most respected fishing outfitters on the Baja peninsula.
Charter options range from half-day inshore trips targeting roosterfish and yellowtail to full-day offshore expeditions chasing blue and striped marlin on the legendary fishing grounds south of Cabo. Each boat is captained by an experienced local skipper with intimate knowledge of seasonal migration patterns and current conditions. Tackle, bait, fishing licences, and onboard refreshments are included in every charter, and the crew handles all rigging and fish handling. Picante also offers luxury yacht charters and sunset cruises for guests who want time on the water without the fishing focus.
What sets Picante apart is fleet ownership — unlike brokers who contract third-party boats, every vessel in the Picante fleet is maintained in-house to a consistent standard. This means reliable equipment, well-kept boats, and crews who know their vessel inside and out. The company practices catch-and-release for billfish, contributing to the long-term health of Cabo's world-class fishery. Corporate groups and tournament teams regularly choose Picante for their multi-boat events, and repeat bookings from returning anglers speak to the quality of the experience.
