Straight answers.
No. Mexican fishing licences are bought separately and everyone fishing needs one. We help you get it before the day so nobody is standing on the dock sorting paperwork.
Yes. The same licence covers rod and spear. Freedivers who are not hunting do not need one.
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.
Rarely. Almost every trip goes out as a private boat. If a split makes sense for a small party we will say so.
Three on the Punta Lobos panga, four on La Ruca and La Morita, six on Don Pancho and El Wahoo King. Whale watching numbers are a little higher because nobody is swinging a rod.
On most boats, yes, if the heat and the deck suit the dog. Never on the Punta Lobos panga, which launches through surf.
Yes, the catch goes home with you. Filleting, vacuum sealing and freezing are available. Marlin are mostly released, with judgement on the day.
Usually, in a cooler as checked baggage, but airline rules are yours to check before you fly.
No. The half day is built for first timers and families. The crew rigs, runs and handles the gear and you fish the whole time you are out.
Lead and floats are aboard so you do not fly with them. Limited gun and wetsuit rental exists, but most guests bring their own kit.

The short version of how a trip with Indigo Adventures works. Licences, deposits, boats and what happens to your catch. The full FAQ has the rest.
Read the full FAQ→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.
Custom fishing and spearfishing charters, freediving excursions, whale watching from mid December to April, and kayaking. Every trip is built around your group, your dates and the conditions rather than a fixed timetable, and almost every one goes out private.

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.
