Luxury Marlin Fishing Adventure in Loreto – A Trip to Remember
If you’re dreaming of a luxury fishing experience in Baja California Sur that goes far beyond your typical day charter, let us take you on a journey through one of our most unforgettable trips: a multi-day marlin fishing adventure to Loreto aboard a fully crewed, high-end yacht.
At Tag Cabo Sportfishing, we specialize in taking anglers into remote, rarely fished waters—in total comfort. This is the story of what it’s like to chase striped, blue, and black marlin in one of Mexico’s most scenic and productive fisheries… from the deck of your own private floating resort.
Why Loreto? A Hidden Marlin Hotspot in Baja
While Cabo San Lucas gets most of the spotlight when it comes to Baja fishing, Loreto remains one of the best-kept secrets for marlin fishing in the region. Just north of La Paz, this stretch of the Sea of Cortez is loaded with marine life and light fishing pressure. That means less boat traffic, more hookups, and truly wild waters.
Marlin here—especially during peak season from June to October—are active, aggressive, and often found within 10–30 miles of shore. Add in dramatic island backdrops, warm blue water, and countless dolphin schools… and you’ve got a luxury angler’s dream.
The Vessel: Floating Luxury Aboard Our 98ft Baratucci Yacht
For this particular trip, our guests chartered the 98ft Baratucci, a beautifully appointed yacht designed for multi-day fishing expeditions in full comfort. Here’s what their home on the water included:
- Two master staterooms with king-size beds
- Personal onboard chef serving up fresh sashimi, ceviche, and gourmet meals
- Spacious salon with A/C, full entertainment system, and lounge seating
- Starlink satellite internet for staying connected—even off the grid
- Professional-grade fishing gear and electronics for trolling, deep dropping, and more
It’s the kind of boat where you can fight a marlin at sunrise, enjoy lobster tacos by sunset, and fall asleep under the stars without ever leaving the water.
Day 1: Departing La Paz and Heading North
We set off from La Paz Marina, heading north toward Isla San José and the Loreto region. The seas were calm, and within a few hours, lines were in. The first action came on a pair of skirted lures in the wake—a double hookup on striped marlin, both in the 100–120 lb range.
The crew worked in sync, the guests were smiling, and the first billfish of the trip were safely tagged and released—an incredible start.
Day 2: Island Views, Trolling Lines, and a Big Surprise
After anchoring in a calm bay near Isla Danzante for the night (with a fresh seafood dinner and no other boats in sight), we started early. Around 11 a.m., a massive blue marlin exploded on the short rigger. After a long fight, the fish measured just over 350 lbs before release—a true trophy and the highlight of the trip.
Throughout the day, we saw more surface activity, birds working, and schools of dorado under floating debris—adding more variety (and fresh sashimi) to the action.
Day 3: Slow Morning, Perfect Evening
Our third day was a mix of light trolling and island exploration. While the fishing slowed down, we made the most of it by visiting Loreto’s hidden beaches, snorkeling in crystal-clear water, and sharing a bottle of mescal at sunset from the aft deck.
By nightfall, a final pass along a ledge produced two more striped marlin to wrap up the trip—both safely released after photo ops and high-fives all around.
What Makes This Trip So Special?
This wasn’t just a fishing trip—it was a complete luxury escape built around world-class sportfishing. Here’s what made it unique:
- Private yacht, private crew, private adventure
- Expert fishing team with intimate knowledge of Baja waters
- Chef-prepared meals using local ingredients (and fresh catches)
- Zero pressure to “rush” the experience—you fish at your own pace
- Access to pristine, uncrowded fishing grounds north of La Paz
