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.

Captain Luis and mate Ismail were great. They made me and my boys feel welcome and comfortable. They were very communicative and fun, laughing and joking. They connected with with us as customers. Luis even let my son drive the boat (supervised) looking for marlin. My son enjoyed that experience.
Marlin fishing was tough. They tried hard, but the water temperature changed and the fish were lethargic. Luis did make sure we all caught a shark, which was still fun. We got some good pictures , courtesy of Luis and Ismail.
We caught a dorado on the troll so we had enough for a meal at the harbor.
I will definitely use them again.

We’ve been on fishing trips where we spent hours trolling and came home with a couple of average fish, or even one big monster (a 9 foot blue marlin). Today we wanted quantity. We wanted to catch a lot of fish and we didn’t care what kind. This is probably an unusual request, but Louis and Ismael gave us exactly that. We stayed relatively close to shore (less than a mile) and caught our first fish just 15 minutes into the excursion. All told we hit our boat’s limit of Bonita in a few hours. We also saw whales and sea lions up close during our morning of fishing. The boat was comfortable and the Captain handled the very rough seas with skill. It was a rough day to be on the water, but Louis and Ismael made it a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Hey Douglas, thank you very much for your review!
This review is for folks that don’t have a ton of experience fishing and are wondering if it’s too intense. It is, but in the best way! My wife and I took my Father on his first sea fishing experience and had an awesome time! It was quiet for the first 3-4 hours, but Ismael, our guide assured us we just had a wait a little longer. In the meantime we saw countless whales, even Marlin jumping and got to see the lovers arch at sunrise and enjoy the views of Cabo from the sea. We saw many boats around us reeling in Marlin and it was finally our turn! We snagged a 140lbs marlin and my father was able to reel in a Dorado immediately after!! It was so incredible and Ismael really did the leg work to help us bring them in, so that’s not a problem! Once we got back to shore we were able to get our fish processed for a tip and took 2 kilos of our marlin and the whole dorado was probably about 3 kilos. We took it back to our hotel, Pueblo Bonito and they cooked it up for us with a two hour notice! Sashimi for the marlin and a flavorful char for the dorado. Thank you so much to our captain and crew of El Budster Pride! We had an incredible experience and will never forget it!

Had a great day on the water with Captain Luis and Deckhand Ishmael. Fishing had been a little slow so I had low expectations for the trip but we managed to get a marlin, 3 Dorado, 2 skipjack and two small Mako sharks. Luis and Ishmael were very professional, the boat and head were clean and the tackle we used was top quality (Shimano Tiagras and Talica’s). If you are taking a taxi there in the morning I would recommend telling them to drop you at Cabo Dolphins as our taxi seemed confused about the second Senior Frogs location on the south side of the marina.
