Bandito: 42ft Cabo Flybridge Sportfishing and Scenic Charters in Cabo San Lucas

Board the Bandito, a 42-foot Cabo Flybridge, for a day that trades sidewalks for wind and salt. Based in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico, this charter launches from the marina and pushes out to the bony granite spires and reefs where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. The boat's layout—air-conditioned salon, private head, and roomy flybridge—keeps six guests comfortable whether you're angling for sportfish or watching colonies of sea lions on sun-warmed rocks. Half-day trips run about five hours and full-day outings stretch eight, though multi-day excursions are available on request. The Bandito is rigged for trolling and bottom fishing; expect to chase dorado, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and occasional blue marlin depending on season and water temperature. If you’re new to saltwater sportfishing, the captain and crew (operator details not provided) will handle the gear and the heavy lift so you can learn knots and bite timing without fuss. The route is as much about scenery as it is about fish. Skirting the famous El Arco and the sculpted granite formations that signal the tip of Baja, the trip threads past secluded coves, sea caves, and steep rock faces home to nesting pelicans and iguanas. Underwater, kelp beds and rocky reefs shelter schooling baitfish that draw larger predators—this mixture of geology and ocean productivity is why Cabo is a world-class angling destination. Practical notes: local sales tax and fishing licenses are not included in the base price, so plan to handle permits before you cast. Comfort items on board include shaded seating and a clean restroom; bring layered clothing, reef-safe sunscreen, and motion-sickness remedies if you’re sensitive to swell. Groups of up to six make this boat ideal for families or small friend groups who want a private, flexible day at sea. What sets Bandito apart is the platform’s balance of performance and comfort. It’s nimble enough to run to productive grounds quickly and civilized enough to eat lunch inside when the sun intensifies. For visiting anglers and sightseers alike, this charter turns a few hours on Cabo’s waters into an efficient, memorable escape—equal parts adrenaline when the line screams and calm when the horizon widens into uninterrupted blue. Timing matters: winter and spring bring cooler water and big-game runs for marlin and tuna, while summer stretches warmer surface water that favors dorado and inshore action. Bring cash for tips, licenses, and dock fees; confirm pickup times with the operator and ask about cooler options for your catch. Beginners should mention their experience when booking so the crew can adapt instruction. The Bandito’s modest guest limit makes it easy to learn without feeling crowded, and the boat’s facilities keep the focus on fishing and on-the-water comfort daily.
