We booked El Budster Pride for our first sportfishing trip with our two kids. We have been many times but wanted it to be a positive experience for them. The boat was spacious and equipped with everything we could need for a day on the water. There was plenty of seating and lounging spots. The fishing equipment was top notch as well as our captain and deckhand’s knowledge.  They were able to get my son on a dorado and 2 large Marlins (only 1 we kept because the hook was too deep to release). Then we were able to let my daughter catch and release another huge Marlin.  We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to enjoy the day and catch some big fish.

Was reluctant to charter a 29’ boat without AC, but the reviews were amazing and the price was more than fair for a full day charter.
Long story short, this was the best fishing experience my wife and I have ever had. Captain Louise is knowledgeable, funny, and knew exactly where to put us on the fish. Omar the 1st mate was also funny and great!!. We caught 3 Dorado (one was 40”+) and 2 Striped Marlin (one was 113+”). I would recommend them to absolutely anyone that wanted to fish while in Cabo. We mounted both the large Dorado and the Marlin. Interacted with friendly sea lions on the way back in, stopped for pictures at the Arch, and met the owner on the way out. This is why Louise, Omar, and El Budster have such excellent reviews. BEST FISHING IVE EVER HAD.

Great experience. I have fished multiple time in Cabo, every fish caught and all the way up to a 460 lb black Marlin. But have never caught 4 Marlin in one day! The boat ready to go as promised and we hit water as promised. Our trip took us about 15 miles off shore. We caught and reeled in 4 Marlin. One Blue, and three Striped. Captain Luis spoke good English and was happy to be a positive part of our experience. Our deck hand was good as well. He keep boat clean and made sure we were not only hooking up, but also getting fish to the boat. Best part was we truly felt the captain was invested in making sure we caught fish. I highly reccomend El Budster. Book with confidence.

Captain Ruiz, and first mate Ishmael, were great. Would highly recommend chartering a trip with them. We did all inclusive 8hr, lunch was great (a sandwich with all the fixings so you could make it the way you wanted and some really good ck tacos) It took a couple hrs to get on the fish but once we did it was ON! I caught 2 marlin and my girlfriend caught her first ever. (Don’t tell anyone but hers was the biggest). I have been offshore fishing more than 30 times in my life and these guys definitely knew what they were doing, and it was nice not to have to do all the work.
I will definitely recommend these guys to anyone I talk to and will use them next time I am back in Cabo.

I fished with sports fishing charters all over the world and El Budster Pride is right up there with other great charters at the top. The crew was professional, kept the mood on the boat light and positive, and most importantly put us on fish. They were mindful of my requests. I organized this charter for a couple of new high school graduates and another dad. I requested that we target Roosterfish on the way out before we started trolling for marlin and other game fish because I had heard that they could be found closer to shore and wanted the newer anglers on the boat to catch fish before trolling. The crew listened to my request and right out of the marina, about a 10 minute ride, we were on roosterfish. Each of us caught two roosterfish, a bucket list fish for me! After getting our fill of roosterfish we decided to try for billfish. Not long into trolling we hooked up a marlin, that unfortunately broke off. It was a great trip with a great crew! I highly recommend El Budster Pride for anyone that is in Cabo.
