Lands End Charters

We chartered La Gringa in early July 2022. It was an experience for the books. The staff was top notch from beginning to end. I communicated with Jenny for booking and had to make a few changes over the months. She was always on top of it. The staff completely supported our experience. We were celebrating a bride with 10 of her closest family and friends. It was amazing! The tacos were delicious and served at the perfect time. We all kept talking about the guacamole as well. If we are able to visit Cabo again, we will rent a boat from Lands End and send all of our friends and family this way! Thank you for setting the tone for this bachelorette week.

Also, La Gringa was perfect for a hot day in July!

It's hard not compare these guys with our last fishing experience. After 8 hours of trolling in HIGH HEAT, we ended up getting a nibble and one small catch. We're supposed to get 10 baits but they only had 5 on-board and 1 in the water. The rest were trolling lures.

I wish we remembered who took us out the last time. We were only at the 3 hr mark when we got a double header of dorado, a shark, and a few tuna. Our deck man was pretty darn good back then.

This time, we had two guys and it's just not cutting it for us. We paid over $700 USD for this trip. I'm just glad we saw lots of dolphins, some turtles, and sea lions. Otherwise, it was a complete waste of time and money.

After looking at many charters companies, I decided to go with land end charters. The company is well laid out and I felt I could trust them to assure my trip would be successful. Their pricing is also very competitive with others.
I liked their option to go all inclusive and have everything included so there were no surprise charges at the end of the trip. Overall, we enjoyed our trip and everything went as planned. We caught fish and had a great time.

Disappointing. I booked this charter for my Dad, my boyfriend, and myself. The women at the front desk were very nice and welcoming, but the deck hand and captain were not. They barely interacted with us and seemed like they rather be doing something else.. I don't think they spoke more than a handful of words to us- they didn't ask where we were from, how we were doing, or anything. Language barrier was not an issue as I speak Spanish. The majority of the trip was just trolling. We only had a few pieces of live bait, and some died before they were even brought out. You're supposed to get 10 pieces. My Dad had his eye on the lines and had to ask the deck hand several times to check because it looked like we were getting bites. The deck hand was on his phone, sitting far away, not watching the lines. The captain told him what to do a lot, also. Maybe he was new? Still strange not to be helpful. It felt like we took on a stranger to hang out on the boat with us for the 8 hr trip rather than a crew member. There was a small portable toilet down below, but no toilet paper or hand sanitizer available.. also, we brought two 6-packs of beer on board, and when we got back, the captain seemed to think they belonged to him and that we were trying to take them from him! I had to keep asking him to hand them to me, and he still kept some. Very odd. Then, when we got back, the captain and deck hand just stared at us. They didn'thelp us off the boat or anything. I could tell they were going to be upset if we didn't tip them. Of course I had a tip ready for them, but no "thank you, hope you had fun, see you later, goodbye". The captain took the money and turned away. The guys who cleaned and processed our 2 fish were more welcoming and warm to us! I would not recommend going with this outfit-or ask for someone other than Victor and Sammy. Booking this charter as a gift to my Dad was the whole reason we came to Cabo and it was a huge disappointment.

Amazing fishing charter! Everyone from the agent Melissa who took my reservation to the crew in the office at the Marina in Cabo were very professional and helpful. Captain Roberto on the Big Kahuna 2 made it a memorable fishing expedition! Caught Dorado's and an 80lb Stripped Marlin that was released. Nice touch presenting me with a Catch & Release Certificate upon getting of the boat! What a great Birthday!! Highly recommend Lands End Charters!!
Happy Fishing!!!!

Ok so this is one of those charters where you go out and see the Arch, cruise the end of Baja, see some turtles, rays, whales and their babies, then get skunked fishing and feed your bait to seagulls and sea lions on the way back. NOT! We did all that, but then Captain Victor and Rafael added a 120lb Marlin on our laps, and another one chasing us. Thank goodness the second wasn't hungry because neither of us had the arms for it after fighting the first one for 50 minutes (and watching it swim away safely.
"Big D" is the perfect fishing boat for two people. And Victor knows what he's doing. Rafael presented a perfect boat, managed the lines, taught us technique, and worked his fingers off. Boat was spotless. We've done every kind big or small, and for a private experience for two people this could not have gone better. We are going out again mañana for Pez Gallo. Will post that and some pics then.

Well for today's adventure I took my folks deep sea fishing in Cabo. Lands End Charters took fantastic care of us helping them check off a bucket list item for these newbies. From the booking to the boat they were flawless. The directions in the email made it very easy to find...I watched the YouTube video provided to help me find my way because I'm "geographically challenged". I literally played then paused as I took each turn! Haha...silly but we made it.

The fellas in the office were all prepared and had everything ready when we arrived. I know nothing about fishing so I had to ask them what to fish for and any recommendations. They made me feel like family. Had lunches and drinks all packed and walked us directly to our boat when it was ready.

Capitan Martin and his Deckhand Sergio on the "Big Kahuna III" welcomed us with big smiles. Once we had a fish on the line they taught us the skills needed to reel our fish in. They were patient and helpful. My parents are up there in age so when my mom was struggling Sergio was such a gentleman and gave her just enough assistance when she needed it. All while cheering her on to keep going. The captain was spot on with his skills creating a synergy between him and the person on the fishing pole. The food and company were great with breathtaking views of the coast.

When we arrived back at the Marina a staff member met us and walked us back...even found us a great place to eat. My parents were like "wow, white glove service". Couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you are in Cabo and want to fish, then this is "THE" place.

We booked a half day charter on Big D and our captain/one man show was Victor. The booking process was easy and communication via chat through the website was simple and Jenny answered all my questions. It was just two of us so the boat was plenty for us. They send you lots of information in confirmation emails etc so make sure to read it thoroughly. We paid via PayPal prior to and it was simple. Tipped ~12% the day of to captain in cash.

The box lunches ended up being plenty for a half day trip. There was a mini breakfast burrito and a chicken or beef burrito plus a piece of fruit, chips and snack bar in each. We grabbed a coffee from the marina market beforehand and used the bathroom there one last time. There is a small portable toilet on Big D (think a glorified bucket) but it's definitely not ideal. We ended up buying ice at the market to ice down our drinks. I was concerned from previous reviews about drinks not being on ice. Victor did end up getting one large ice block from the bait boat but it would not have done much.

Fishing wise: We started off trolling really close to the shore for an hour or so and all we were catching was more skipjack that we kept for more bait. Then we went a little further out and finally saw more boats there and switched to live bait. I caught a hammerhead shark on live bait but had no other bites. About four hours in we switched back to trolling and crossed to the other side of the harbor. No luck trolling again. Gave the live bait one more chance and right after Victor said we only had about 5 mins left my husband hooked up a striped marlin. Brought it in quickly and it was a quick catch and release. I wish he would have let us bring it on the boat atleast for a quick picture (as I have now seen that they do on their Instagram etc) but it still turned what was a bust of a fishing trip into worthwhile.

Overall they were a professional fishing charter and everything went smoothly. Next time I'd think I'd get a little bigger/nicer of a boat with more cabin space vs a small v berth but we still enjoyed ourselves.

I am an avid fisherman from southern California and was visiting for a bachelor party. I booked this charter letting the staff know that I was interested in an inshore/bottom fishing trip and during the call to confirm the trip, I also expressed my interest for an inshore/bottom fishing trip. I felt like I got the message across. When we arrived at the shop to head down to the dock, I again confirmed my interest in an inshore trip. We headed to the dock and I noticed trolling tackle on the boat. No real sign of equipment needed for inshore/bottom fishing. Right away I was disappointed. I even talked to the deck hand and captain about going for inshore fish or bottom fishing. They gave an answer of they don't get to go trolling often and that's what we should start with. After 5 hours of trolling with no success, we headed to a bottom fishing spot. They didn't have enough rods for everyone to participate in bottom fishing and they didn't have any heavy jigs or heavier sinkers than 2oz weights. The current was really strong and I would have gone with an 8oz weight. After an unsuccessful attempt at bottom fishing, we put on some fly lines with live bait but ended using them to troll the shore. After that, we headed out to deeper water to troll for bonito. Luckily we caught a few but in doing so, I found myself pulling out rats nests on backed up reels and helping the rest of the bachelor party get on some fish. Overall, I was unsatisfied with the experience and would probably go with a different charter or just got to Puerto Vallarta next time.

My family and I have used lands in charters many times and I've never been disappointed once!!! Everyone on and off the boats is always so helpful and accommodating. During our yacht experience on happy endings we had the best food, drinks, views, and laughs. We also saw dolphins and whales while watching the sunset and got a great photo of our family in front of the arch. We also have gone on fishing trips multiple times with them and they pack cold beer and lunches and take care of everything. Greg and his team are the best and I ALWAYS recommend them when someone is headed down to Cabo
