Carina: 60ft Viking Yacht Charters in Cabo San Lucas — Half & Full-Day Sportfishing

Carina is a 60-foot Viking Princess yacht operating out of Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico, with departures from the Marina in Centro, offering half- and full-day private charters for up to 12 guests. Step aboard and the first thing you notice is space: an air-conditioned salon, a private head, and a wide cockpit designed for serious fishing or relaxed cruising. The boat is built for the region—solid hull, roomy deck, and rigged for sportfishing—so whether your goal is casting for dorado at dawn or cruising to the famous El Arco at sunset, Carina covers both comfort and capability.

The setting is as important as the vessel. Cabo sits where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez; granite outcrops and sculpted rock arches rise from clear blue water, and the Marina at Cabo San Lucas is the launching point for encounters with marlin, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and seasonal humpback whales. Anglers will appreciate the boat’s deck layout and the opportunity to fish world-class grounds a short run from the harbor. Sightseers will find the approach to Land’s End and the Arch offers dramatic photo ops with sea lions hauled out on granite ledges.

This charter is straightforward: choose a half day (roughly four hours) or a full day (around eight hours), bring sunscreen and a sense of adventure, and the crew takes care of the rest. Note that local sales tax and fishing licenses are not included, so plan to arrange licenses in advance or purchase them through your operator. With room for twelve, Carina works well for families, groups of anglers, corporate outings, or couples seeking a private sunset cruise.

On a cultural note, Cabo’s marina has long been the center of the region’s fishing life, helping build the town’s reputation as a sportfishing destination. Environmentally, responsible operators in the area emphasize catch-and-release for billfish and strict handling to protect juvenile fish and marine mammals.

Practical advantages of Carina include climate-controlled refuge between runs, a private head, and a cockpit that doubles for social time once the lines are in the wash. Whether you’re chasing a trophy fish, photographing rugged sea stacks, or sipping a cold drink while watching dolphins, this is a hands-on, comfort-minded way to experience Cabo’s marine playground.

Trips aboard Carina are crewed by experienced local captains who know the currents and productive bait grounds; expect instruction for novice anglers, assistance with rigging, and a safety briefing before departure. The vessel’s layout also makes it easy to move between fishing stations and shaded seating. Reservations typically require a $750 deposit at booking and seasonal windows fill fast, so book early—especially during peak winter whale season and summer marlin runs— to secure your date and time.
