Reviews

Our Customers Love to Brag

Don't take our word for it.

I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with Cowtunas in San Jose del Cabo — it was an incredible experience, and the cost was lower than any other charter in Cabo we have booked! Bobby was an exceptional host and our captain consistently put us in the right place at the right time.

Bobby's Charter Guest

If you want a fishing trip of a lifetime, cowtunas.com is your destination. Baja's best — knowledgeable, capable, friendly captains who will put you on big game like Mahi-Mahi, Tuna and Wahoo. I was reeling fish after fish after fish. Truly second to none.

Cabo Angler

I went on this charter with my son and it was a bonding experience we will cherish forever. The joy on his face as he reeled in his first catch will be etched in my memory. We created lifelong memories — all thanks to Cowtunas.
