About Tag Cabo Sportfishing: Cabo Fishing Experts Since 2009
Tag Cabo Sportfishing is a locally owned sportfishing charter company based in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Founded by Arturo Chacón in 2009, we create private fishing experiences for anglers, families, and groups visiting Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, the East Cape, La Paz, Loreto, Magdalena Bay, and the Sea of Cortez.
Our experiences range from inshore roosterfish trips and offshore marlin charters to luxury family outings and multi-day fishing expeditions aboard fully crewed yachts.
We are not simply a booking company. We are anglers who spend time on the water, follow changing fishing conditions, work closely with experienced local captains, and help every guest select the right boat, destination, and fishing technique.
Built Through Real Experience on the Waters of Baja California Sur
Tag Cabo Sportfishing began with Arturo Chacón’s passion for exploring the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas and the Baja Peninsula.
Since 2009, Arturo has spent thousands of hours fishing throughout Cabo San Lucas, the East Cape, La Paz, Loreto, Magdalena Bay, and the Sea of Cortez. That firsthand experience has helped Tag Cabo Sportfishing develop relationships with respected captains, crews, boat owners, tackle manufacturers, marine-technology companies, tournament organizers, and conservation programs.
Our local knowledge allows us to plan trips around the factors that matter most:
- Current fishing reports and recent catches
- Seasonal fish movements
- Water temperature and water clarity
- Bait concentrations and offshore conditions
- Weather, wind, and sea conditions
- Each guest’s experience, goals, and preferred fishing style
Fishing conditions change from one day to the next. We believe honest recommendations and realistic expectations are essential when planning a successful Cabo fishing charter.

Private Cabo Fishing Charters for Every Kind of Angler

Our Cabo sportfishing fleet includes options ranging from traditional pangas and fast center consoles to Cabo sportfishers, Bertrams, Hatteras yachts, and luxury expedition vessels.
Local Knowledge Supported by Modern Fishing Technology
Successful sportfishing requires more than driving to yesterday’s fishing spot.
Our team studies recent catches, satellite imagery, sea-surface temperatures, currents, weather forecasts and bait activity before recommending a fishing plan. Depending on the selected vessel, our crews use modern SIMRAD navigation and sonar equipment, radar, satellite fishing maps, premium tackle, kite-fishing equipment and specialized gear for different species.
Technology helps us gather information, but local experience determines how that information is used on the water.
Guests can also review our latest Baja California Sur fishing reports before planning their trip.
Responsible Sportfishing and Marine Conservation
The waters surrounding Baja California Sur are among Mexico’s most valuable natural resources. Protecting them is part of our responsibility as anglers and charter operators.
Tag Cabo Sportfishing supports responsible catch-and-release practices for billfish and other important sportfish. We encourage the careful release of marlin, sailfish and roosterfish whenever possible and support fish-tagging, marine research and conservation education.
Before every charter, guests can discuss whether they are interested in catch-and-release fishing, keeping legal table fish, participating in tagging efforts, or targeting a particular species.
We believe conservation does not take away from the fishing experience. It helps ensure that future generations will continue to experience the same extraordinary fishery that attracts anglers to Cabo today.
