The motor thumps as the coastline of Tamarindo shrinks, salt spray daring you to hold steady as the captain points toward a distant blue line on the horizon. Onboard the 35' Cabo Express you feel the ocean working itself into the day — wind building, currents shifting — and the crew methodically rigs rods and checks the fish finder while shaded seating and a private head promise small comforts between the strikes.

Bring motion-sickness medication
The Pacific can get choppy; take meds the night before or an hour before departure if you’re prone to seasickness.

Carry ID and cash
Bring photo ID for alcohol purchases (18+) and small cash for crew gratuities or the optional AC upgrade.
Non-slip deck shoes
Stable footing is vital on wet decks during cast and fight sequences.
