Captain Pepe is eager to guide you through an unforgettable fishing adventure! With a diverse fleet ranging from 33-foot to 60-foot Hatteras vessels, there's an ideal boat for every group size. Conveniently based at Cabo's IGY Marina, you'll quickly find yourself headed out past Los Cabos to prime fishing locations.

To book your trip, simply provide your preferred date, number of guests, duration, and start time above, and get ready to fish with Captain Raul and the crew. Guests consistently praise Captain Pepe's expertise—he is considered one of the finest fishermen around and often competes in major tournaments. Many have enjoyed catching marlin and mahi-mahi, some even choosing to have their fresh catch prepared at local restaurants. While Captain Pepe's English skills are limited outside fishing topics, his knowledge of the sport is unparalleled.
However, some visitors have faced challenges with the booking process and trip logistics. Clarification on additional expenses such as fishing licenses ($18 per person) and live bait fees (approximately $30) is sometimes required, as these are not always included in the initial advertised price. Arrivals delayed due to late preparation of boats and other unforeseen circumstances have impacted the fishing time, leading to mixed experiences. Some guests have reported disagreements over payment for fuel and unexpected extras, as well as concerns regarding the fishing locations chosen by the captain. Despite these setbacks, customer service representatives strive to resolve issues and maintain communication with all clients.
In response to critical feedback, the company emphasizes that fishing trips can be unpredictable, and while their captains aim to maximize success on the water, there are no guarantees. They also note that trip listings indicate licensing and bait costs. Follow-up attempts are made to ensure satisfactory resolution when difficulties arise.
