Cabo's Legendary Waters
Where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez.
At the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, two bodies of water meet. The cool currents of the Pacific Ocean mingle with the warmer waters of the Sea of Cortez, creating one of the richest marine environments in the world. For anglers, that meeting point has long carried an almost mythical reputation, and each autumn, the waters off Los Cabos remind everyone why.

A Tradition Written on the Water
Long before Los Cabos became known for its resorts and restaurants, it was known among anglers who made the journey south in search of marlin. Their stories traveled home with them, and over time, a tradition took hold.
Today, sportfishing is part of the rhythm of the region. Boats leave the marina in the early hours, captains read the water with knowledge passed down through generations, and crews return in the afternoon with stories of the day. It is a discipline built on patience, skill and deep respect for the sea, and for many families it is a tradition shared across generations.
These waters are home to some of the most sought-after species in the sport: striped, blue and black marlin, along with dorado, tuna and wahoo. Each season brings its own movement, and those who know these waters well can read the ocean almost like a calendar.

The Spirit of the Release
One of the most meaningful shifts in modern sportfishing has been the practice of catch and release. Many anglers now return billfish to the sea after the fight, measuring a great day less by what comes home and more by the experience itself.
A quiet gesture of stewardship that helps protect the abundance that makes these waters so special.
October: The Season’s Grand Stage
Autumn is when Cabo's sportfishing tradition takes center stage. According to Visit Los Cabos, Cabo San Lucas welcomes two of the Bisbee's tournaments this season:
Los Cabos Offshore · October 12–17
Known as "Little Bisbee's," with teams fishing for marlin, tuna and dorado.
Black & Blue · October 19–24
Devoted to giant black and blue marlin, it is often called the "Super Bowl of Fishing" and is regarded as one of the world's premier sportfishing competitions.
Earlier this year, the series began on the East Cape with the East Cape Offshore in Buena Vista. For a few weeks, the marina comes alive with crews, captains and spectators from around the world. Even for those who never plan to compete, it is a fascinating moment to witness: a celebration of skill, patience and the sea itself.
Your Own Day on the Water
 |
At the Club, the ocean is always close. Aboard Charter Ninety Six, our new catamaran, the sea becomes an extension of the Club: a private escape for members, their families and friends, designed for long, sun-filled days. Spend a half or full day along the coast, take in the panoramic views from the open flybridge, stop to snorkel, or simply let the afternoon drift into a sunset cruise. And if the mood strikes, cast a line for the pleasure of it.

From the Sea to Your Table
And when the day ends with a catch, whether aboard Charter Ninety Six or anywhere else your travels take you, we invite you to bring it back to the Club. Our culinary team will be delighted to suggest a preparation that brings out the best of the day's catch, or to prepare it just the way your family enjoys it most.
To arrange this service, simply contact Member Services. Our team will take care of the details, from the type of fish and portion to how you would like it prepared, so everything is ready when you are.

In Los Cabos, the story of the sea is still being written. We hope you'll be part of it this season.
