Cabo Sportfishing Catch – Four Marlin Released
Four marlin catches were the headline result of Laura’s birthday charter.
Marlin are among Cabo San Lucas’s most celebrated offshore game fish, known for their powerful runs, endurance, and challenging fights.
For a group celebrating a milestone birthday, multiple marlin encounters provided an exciting addition to the occasion.
Captain Alex and the Blue Sea crew completed four successful catches, with all four marlin returned to the ocean.
This maintained Blue Sky Cabo’s policy of releasing marlin and produced a 100% billfish release rate for the charter.
The individual marlin species and weights were not specified in the booking record.
Cabo Fishing Catch – Two Dorado Add Variety
In addition to the four marlin, the group caught two dorado, bringing the day’s confirmed catch to six game fish.
Dorado, also known as mahi-mahi, are recognized for their striking colors, rapid movements, and energetic fights.
Their presence added a second game-fish species to the day’s offshore results.
For Laura and her nine companions, the combination of marlin and dorado offered variety beyond a single-species fishing trip.
The record confirms two dorado catches but does not specify whether those fish were retained.

Cabo Sportfishing Charter – Eight Hours Aboard Blue Sea
An eight-hour private fishing charter offers more time offshore than shorter morning packages.
For larger groups, the additional hours can be valuable when combining fishing activities with onboard hospitality.
The 60-foot Bertram Blue Sea provided a large sportfishing platform for Laura and her nine companions.
Captain Alex directed the offshore fishing operation, while the charter arrangements included chef services for the birthday group.
The scheduled 6:15 AM departure and 2:15 PM return created an eight-hour window for fishing and celebrating together.
The six confirmed game fish demonstrated the variety of offshore encounters possible during a Cabo San Lucas charter, although individual fishing results always depend on conditions and fish activity.
