Tight lines from Lands End Charters
The week started strong. On Monday the 45 ft Picudo put a striped marlin on the deck, and the 27 ft Big Kahuna II got a sailfish that same morning. Tropical Storm Vance closed both Los Cabos ports on Tuesday night. By Friday our boats were fishing again under grey skies: one crew put three wahoo on the deck, and Big Kahuna II added dorado for its guests. Next up is the Tuna Jackpot, with fishing Nov 5 and 6.

From November 1 to 4, Cabo San Lucas celebrates Día de Muertos with the Altares en el Mar festival. On Monday, November 2, about 20 boats dressed as altars cross the bay from Médano Beach, with the procession set for about 3:50 PM, so check for last minute changes. Make a day of it: cruise past Land's End and the Arch on a private yacht, swim in a calm cove, and be back in time for the parade.
Our Cabo yacht fleet has about 35 yachts from 38 to 116 ft. Tell us your group size and date, and we will match you with the right boat.
