Who this is for

Who this is for.

This is not a shared marina boat and it is not a sunset cruise with a rod on board. If you want the cheapest seat in the Cabo corridor, we will tell you who to call. If you want the boat to yourself, a crew that will say no to a bad day, and a plan built around the water you actually have, start here.

Where we are, and what that means

Indigo Adventures is based in El Pescadero, on the Pacific side of Baja California Sur, a few minutes south of Todos Santos and about an hour north of Cabo San Lucas. We are not a Cabo marina operation, though two of our boats leave from Cabo. Where you meet us depends on which boat runs your trip. The boats leave from three places:

A group aboard a white centre-console fishing boat on flat deep blue water offshore
5
Boats, 24 to 35 ft
3
Launch points, both coasts
12
Months with something biting

Where we launch

Three launch points, two oceans, one crew.

Which boat runs your trip decides where you leave from. Pangas launch through the surf at Punta Lobos on the Pacific side. The sportfishers leave the Cabo San Lucas Marina. La Morita sits over the hill in San Jose del Cabo, closest to the Gordo Banks.

Your catch goes home with you.

Filleting at the dock, vacuum sealing and freezing are available, and most guests fly home with a cooler. Marlin are mostly released, with judgement on the day. Sierra makes the best ceviche here, but eat it the same day.

I took my 8 year old son out with Colin this past weekend and he didn't dissapoint... We saw humpback whales up close and personal, caught a ton of fish, saw thresher sharks jumping, marlin jumping. Not only did we catch, he taught my son how things work and why they work... I will not go out with anyone else. And we go to Cabo at least 4 times a year, for the past 13 years. Colin is the best, hands down!

Very fun trip with Colin. He was responsive to calling and texting the night before our adventure and set us up with a great Captain Beto who took us into the sea of cortez and we caught 20 fish including a massive Dorado! Highly recommend will be fishing with them for all future adventures in baja

We went with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide to fish and spearfish. He knew the water very well, knew the fish and even loaned us gear when lost a fin! :)... He took us to catch bait, then troll by some good spots and finally ended up freediving along a beautiful reef. great fun for the whole family!

We couldn't have asked for a better guide, Colin is a great guy and is super helpful. He knew all aspects of Spearfishing, the best locations, unique techniques and provided a memorable experience. Highly recommend Colin for any adventure.

Great experience all around, from booking to lodging, food, fishing, transportation. Did a great job setting a trip up customized to what we wanted to do. They can set up a trip in most of Baja, whether it's Pacific side or East Cape.

Originally planned to spearfish but conditions didn't agree, was able to switch up to fishing for 3 days and was able to fish for many different species with success. Great food and lodging was set up and Colin took care of all aspects and anything we needed during our stay.

Super knowledgeable about area, setting up another trip for late summer, only adventure company we will be using in Baja in the future, highly recommend.

My boyfriend and some friends and family and I went out on the boat with Colin for a whale shark snorkeling day trip. We not only saw and swam with quite a few whale sharks but spent time on an almost empty beach nearby only accessible by boat. We had tons of fun and a Colin is a knowledgeable and friendly guide!

Dog-friendly trips

Bringing your dog aboard, and how to judge whether yours should come.

Heat and deck safety decide it. On most boats the answer is yes. On the panga that launches through Pacific surf, it is always no.

Where is Indigo Adventures based, and where do trips leave from?
+

Indigo Adventures is based in El Pescadero, on the Pacific side of Baja California Sur, a few minutes south of Todos Santos. Boats launch from three points: Punta Lobos beach in Todos Santos, San Jose del Cabo, and the Cabo San Lucas Marina. Which boat runs your trip decides where you meet us.

What kinds of trips do you run?
+

Custom fishing and spearfishing charters, freediving excursions and whale watching from mid December to April. Every trip is built around your group, your dates and the conditions rather than a fixed timetable, and almost every one goes out private.

How does booking work?
+

Book online on the Book Now page, where availability is live and a 50 percent deposit holds the date. If you would rather we picked the trip, send an enquiry with who is coming, when you are here and what you want out of the day, and we will say which trip fits and which one does not.

Is a Mexican fishing licence included?
+

No. Everyone fishing in Mexican waters needs a Mexican sportfishing licence, and each angler buys their own. We help you arrange it before the day so nobody is sorting paperwork on the dock. The same licence covers rod and spear.

Do you run shared or split charters?
+

Rarely. Almost every trip goes out as a private boat for you and your group. If a split makes sense for a small party we will say so when you enquire.

How many people fit on a boat?
+

Three on the 24 foot Punta Lobos panga, up to four on La Ruca and La Morita, and up to six on Don Pancho and El Wahoo King. Whale watching numbers run a little higher because nobody is swinging a rod.

Can I keep what I catch?
+

Yes. The catch goes home with you. Filleting at the dock, vacuum sealing and freezing are available, and most guests fly home with a cooler. Marlin are mostly released, with judgement on the day.

Are beginners welcome?
+

Yes, on fishing days. The crew rigs and handles the gear and hands you the rod when something eats. Guided spearfishing needs breath-hold experience and runs on a strict buddy system, which is the only legal way to spearfish in Mexico. Water, ice and snacks are normally aboard.

Not sure which trip fits?
Tell us who is coming, when you are here and what you want out of the day. We will say which trip fits and which one does not.
