I have been an avid saltwater fisherman for many years and have most of my experience inshore and surf fishing but have been on many offshore charters all over the world. This way by far the best charter I’ve ever been on and the price is phenomenal for what you get. Very professional and the crew works very hard to get you onto the fish. They were constantly on the look out for more marlin to go after. I went with the hope to finally catch my first marlin and we got 2! Plus an unexpected hammer. They spotted 3 more marlin hat weren’t interested in the bait but I was blown away at the effort they made to make it a great experience and cater it to exactly what you want and make you feel comfortable. We will definitely be back and will always book with them! I cannot recommend these guys enough! Trip of a lifetime!

After doing a lot of research and looking at a lot of reviews, we decided to book our fishing trip with El Budster.  We booked 4 full days of fishing and had tremendous success.  Over the 4 days we caught 8 marlin ranging in size between **hidden content** lbs.  We also caught 7 shark, which were also a lot of fun to catch. 

The boat was clean and well maintained.  It had 2 chairs for fighting fish which we used well!  The boat had a small table where you could sit out of the sun and eat a meal.  It had a cooler that we kept filled with water and soda so we always had something cold to drink.  The boat also had a bathroom that we could use anytime we needed it. 

Our captain Luis put us on the fish every day we were out.  He was also very skilled at positioning the boat to give us the best chance of landing our fish.  The first mate Ishmael, was very skilled at hooking up with the fish and ensuring we had a great experience.  He was very busy during our trip!  Both Luis and Ishmael were extremely attentive and it was very clear their number 1 priority was that we had a good experience.  Without hesitation I would recommend El Budster to anyone who wants to have a great experience and catch big fish.  We would absolutely go again and have discussed making this an every other year tradition.  If you want a very well priced trip with a captain and 1st mate that put you on the fish, this is it!

The boat was nice and clean. Captain Luis and first mate Ismael spoke good English and did their jobs very well. The sea was insanely rough - biggest waves I’ve ever been in felt like an 8 hour mechanical bull ride - and the fish just were not biting. While i must admit that i was beginning to think today was turning into a bust of a trip, that’s when I heard my son yell, “IT’S A MARLIN!!” and it suddenly turned into one we won’t soon forget.

Let me first start off by saying I deep sea fish all over the world and have rather high expectations around the experience on charters . With that said, fishing with Captain and his crew was by far the BEST fishing experience/service I’ve ever had! When I booked I was aware that January wasn’t the best time to catch Marlin (my bucket list fish) and the Captain was honest about that and said he would do his best. He was very responsive to all my questions leading up to our trip. I was pleased that we ended up catching our own live bait by bottom fishing from the reef, which we then used for our marlin set up. We ended up landing two huge Striped Marlin and a Mahi, and also several more marlin bites trolling back into the docks . None of this would have been possible without the extensive knowledge and expertise the Captain and his crew displayed. I’ve already referred two friends and plan to rebook whenever i’m back in Cabo. HIGHLY RECOMMEND EL BUDSTER PRIDE!

We went on 11/5 for the half day afternoon trip. It was me, my husband, and our two sons ages 12 and 11. We caught 6 dorado and 4 skipjacks, could have caught plenty more but our arms were tired! We saw large schools of fish, dolphins, and seals. 10/10 would recommend!
We only kept to of the dorado to cook, my only regret is not cleaning and keeping all of them because at the end of the malecón there were so many people who begged for fish, we gave all but 1 filet away and wished we had more to give. We brought our dorado back to our hotel who prepared us a delicious meal!
We can’t wait to return and fish here again
