Booked last minute with El Budster - Captain Salvador and First Mate Victor were fantastic. We caught 5 tuna and we saw lots of others trying with it much luck. Super fast boat as well and it might be cleanest in Cabo.

Very good fishing trip this week! Yellowfin was good and one dorado. We saw two stripe marlin, but no luck on them as they dove as we pulled up. Next time. Ask for Mike, he is great to deal with!

El Budster is the best choice for people who are serious about fishing, want high-quality equipment, and appreciate truly knowledgeable fishermen. We are writing this review as lifelong boaters, boat owners, and experienced anglers. The boat and gear are outstanding. The boat is impeccably clean, with the highest quality lures, rods and reels, all of which are maintained and stored perfectly. Both Captain Luis and awesome first mate Ismael worked hard, all day, to catch fish - trolling, jigging, changing up lures, adding a daisy chain, etc. They are professionals who truly know how to get right on the fish. We caught a 90" marlin, and the genuine excitement in Ismael's voice when it jumped out of the water tells you everything you need to know about how seriously they take their craft. If you want a day trip on the water with drinks and fancy food, please choose another boat and leave this one for the serious anglers. Thank you Luis, Ismael and El Budster for a truly spectacular and memorable day of fishing!

We book with Salvador every year usually for 2 days of fishing. It never disappoint! Great crew and boats. Friendly and knowledgeable and there to make your experience great! This year we caught and released a Blue Marlin that is estimated between 300 to 400 lbs. We caught it 4 days after the Bisbee Back and Blue resulted in 0 winners making this catch even more memorable. We also limited on Dorado both days caught a Striped Marlin a Roosterfish and released a Hammerhead Shark.Highly recommend if you want one of the best crew and boat in Cabo. Thanks Francisco and Victor! See you next year

Met Mike on the boardwalk. He seemed like a great guy and the price was right. Boat is in great shape and super clean. Our captain was Francisco and our deckhand was Victor. We had a good day (half day trip), two Skipjack (bait fish) and two nice size Dorado. El Budster will be our go to boat in the future. Great boat and awesome people. Highly recommend them. Thanks.
