About

Ernies Cabo Fishing runs out of the marina in Cabo San Lucas, which puts you straight into the fishing corridor without burning fuel time. The perfect rating comes from one review, so take it as a signal rather than a trend — but the dock location and direct marina access are real advantages if you're comparing charters. Most operations here run similar routes to the drop-off and the banks, so what separates boats usually comes down to crew communication and how they handle a slow bite. With only one data point, it's hard to say where this outfit lands on that spectrum. If you're booking, ask about boat size, whether bait and tackle are included, and what happens if conditions turn. Marina-based charters typically run four to eight hours depending on what you're targeting. Cabo fishing is legitimately world-class from late spring through fall — marlin, dorado, tuna all move through. Just know that any single-review operator is a bit of a wildcard until more feedback rolls in.

Visiting in November?

November in Cabo offers pleasant conditions without peak-season intensity. You'll find attentive service across properties, from boutique hotels to luxury resorts, and generally comfortable weather for beach and pool time. Thanksgiving week sees a noticeable uptick in visitors, with some restaurants running short on supplies and resorts busier than usual, but the month overall feels more relaxed than true high season.

Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours

Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours operates from F Dock in the Cabo San Lucas marina, and the 5 out of 5 rating across nearly 6,000 reviews puts them in rare territory. Most charter operations in Cabo cluster around 4.5 stars — this one doesn't. The volume matters as much as the score. Five thousand reviews means hundreds of boats went out, came back, and enough people felt compelled to say something that the average held. That's consistency at scale, which is harder to fake than a handful of perfect scores. Whether it's the crew, the boat condition, or how they handle rough days, something's working. They run fishing charters and tours from the marina, which is the standard launching point for anything heading into the Sea of Cortez or around the arch. If you're comparing operators, this is one where the data actually separates from the pack.

Cabo San Lucas Desert Spa

Cabo San Lucas Desert Spa is tucked into Villa del Arco Beach Resort, just off the old highway to San José. The name is misleading — you're not in the middle of the desert, but the setting pulls away from the beachfront noise into something calmer. With over 2,600 reviews landing at a perfect 5/5, it's consistently ranked as one of the top spas in Cabo, which suggests they're doing something right with the fundamentals: solid technique, attentive staff, and treatments that actually deliver. The menu covers the usual suspects — massages, facials, body wraps — but execution matters more than variety at this level. Reviewers mention the pre-treatment ritual and the therapists' ability to adjust pressure without being asked. If you're staying elsewhere in Cabo San Lucas, it's worth the short drive. Book ahead, especially during high season, because that rating doesn't go unnoticed.

Cabo Sailing Ocean Adventures

Cabo Sailing Ocean Adventures runs out of the IGY Marina in Cabo San Lucas, operating from docks F and H in the main harbor. The 4.9 rating across 2,500+ reviews puts it near the top of the local sailing operators, which matters in a port town with dozens of boat outfits competing for the same tourists. The fleet handles everything from morning snorkel trips to sunset sails, though the consistency in that rating suggests the crew setup is solid regardless of which boat you're on. You're departing from the main marina complex, so logistics are straightforward—parking, restrooms, and the dock access all work the way they should. Most Cabo sailing trips hit the arch and Land's End, then push toward Pelican Rock or Santa Maria depending on conditions. This operator's review volume means they're running multiple departures daily during high season, so booking windows are flexible. Check what's included on your specific trip—some cover lunch and drinks, others just beverages.

Pairs well with

Cabo San Lucas Desert Spa

Sparitual Los Cabos

Sparitual Los Cabos sits on Av. del Pescador in Cabo San Lucas, offering spa services with a 5-star rating backed by over a thousand reviews — a rare combination in an industry where inflated scores are common but volume like this isn't. The name promises holistic treatments, and the review count suggests people return or word travels. What stands out is consistency at scale. Most spas in Cabo either run small and attentive or large and uneven; this appears to be doing both without the usual trade-offs. That rating across 1,147 reviews means the experience holds even when the place is busy, which during high season in Cabo San Lucas is most of the time. Practical note: being on Av. del Pescador puts it near the marina zone, walkable from the downtown hotel corridor but far enough from the noise. If you're booking, ask about timing around cruise ship days — that volume of reviews suggests they see traffic, and midweek mornings typically move faster.

Juan More Taco Tours - Cabo San Lucas

Juan More Taco Tours runs street-food walking tours in Cabo San Lucas, and the 4.9 rating across 1,260 reviews suggests they've figured out the format. You're not hitting tourist traps — the route covers local taco stands, seafood counters, and neighborhood spots where the line is mostly Spanish-speaking. Guides handle the ordering and explain what you're eating, which matters when you're choosing between five kinds of salsa at a cart with no signage. The volume of reviews is worth noting. Over a thousand people bothered to rate a taco tour, and almost all of them gave it top marks. That consistency usually means the operation runs tight — same quality whether it's January high season or a random Tuesday in September. Expect to eat more than you planned and to leave with a short list of places you'll want to revisit on your own.

Beaches nearby

East Cape

East Cape Beach

East Cape Beach sits at the end of Camino Cabo Este, past Buzzards Bar and Grill, where the Sea of Cortez coastline starts to feel genuinely remote. You're well outside the hotel zone here — the road narrows, the last landmark is a dive bar, and then it's sand and water with no one watching the tide. Swimming is possible but requires judgment. There are no lifeguards, and conditions shift with the season and the wind. The Sea of Cortez is generally calmer than the Pacific side, but "remote" means you're on your own if something goes sideways. Strong swimmers who check the water before going in will be fine. Families with small kids should stay shallow or skip it. The appeal is the solitude. If you want a beach day without the resort infrastructure and you're comfortable making your own calls about the conditions, this is the trade-off: space and quiet, no safety net.
