Vince and his family group headed offshore aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky for a five-hour private charter on November 21, 2023. With ten guests aboard, including younger family members, the group arrived interested in catching edible species such as tuna, dorado, wahoo and possibly bottom fish. Their morning ultimately produced three dorado, matching one of the species they specifically hoped to encounter.

Three Dorado Matched the Family’s Cabo Fishing Goals
One detail makes this fishing report especially useful: the group had clearly communicated what they wanted before leaving the marina.
Their interests included tuna, dorado, wahoo and possibly bottom fish.
That information helps a crew understand the type of experience guests are hoping to have. It does not mean every requested species can be produced on demand. Offshore fishing depends on where fish are located and what they are willing to do on a particular day.
In this case, dorado became the species that cooperated.
Catching three gave the family repeated action instead of relying on a single opportunity.
Dorado are well suited to a family fishing experience because they combine aggressive strikes with fast runs and spectacular colors. They can jump repeatedly during a fight and remain active all the way to the boat.
A Large Family Shared the Fishing Experience in Cabo
With ten people aboard, this was very different from a two-angler charter.
The group included adults, teenagers and two younger children, making space and organization important throughout the morning.
A private 43-foot boat gives a family the ability to experience the charter together without being combined with unrelated guests.
That becomes particularly valuable when children are aboard.
Some family members may want to participate in every part of the fishing, while others may simply enjoy watching until a fish is hooked. When action develops, anglers can rotate through opportunities based on interest, age and comfort level.
The crew can also provide guidance when less-experienced guests take a rod.
For a mixed-age group, the objective is not to turn everyone into an experienced offshore angler. It is to make the fishing understandable and manageable so each person who wants to participate has an opportunity.
Dorado Brought Color and Speed to This Cabo Day of Fishing
Few offshore fish create the visual impact of a dorado.
Their coloration can shift dramatically during a fight, with combinations of bright green, yellow and blue becoming particularly vivid as the fish approaches the boat.
They are also powerful.
After the strike, dorado can accelerate quickly, change direction and jump clear of the water. Maintaining steady pressure helps keep the hook secure during those movements.
For younger or inexperienced anglers, crew assistance can make a significant difference.
Simple coaching about rod position, winding technique and maintaining tension can help an angler settle into the fight rather than trying to overpower the fish.
With three dorado caught, Vince’s family had several opportunities to experience that process.
Five Hours Required Focused Fishing From Cabo
A five-hour charter provides a meaningful offshore experience, but it also requires efficient use of time.
Every charter includes travel away from and back to Cabo San Lucas Marina. The farther a boat travels, the more of the charter is devoted to reaching the fishing grounds.
That is why shorter trips work particularly well when productive water and target species are within practical range.
An eight- or ten-hour charter gives the captain additional search range and more flexibility to pursue fish that may be farther offshore.
A five-hour charter has a different purpose.
It can be an excellent fit for families who want a genuine offshore fishing experience without committing to an entire day at sea.
For this group, five hours produced three dorado.
Catching a Requested Species Added Meaning to the Cabo Fishing Result
Fishing requests should always be treated as objectives rather than guarantees.
Tuna, wahoo and dorado are pelagic species capable of covering considerable distances. Their availability can change with bait concentrations, currents, water temperature and other ocean conditions.
Bottom fishing requires another approach entirely.
A captain may need to decide whether the available charter time is better spent pursuing one strategy rather than repeatedly changing techniques.
This is particularly important during a five-hour trip.
Vince’s family had listed several species they would enjoy catching. Dorado was among them, and three dorado ultimately provided the action.
That makes the result more meaningful than simply saying three fish were caught.
The charter connected directly with one of the group’s goals.
Three Dorado Completed a Family Morning of Fishing in Cabo
The final result for November 21 was three dorado during five hours aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky.
For a ten-person family group, the experience involved more than the catch total.
Adults, teenagers and younger children were able to spend the morning together on a private boat while experiencing offshore fishing from Cabo San Lucas.
The family had arrived with several possible target species in mind.
The ocean decided which one would cooperate.
Three dorado supplied the strikes, fights and color that ultimately defined their morning.
That combination of a private family experience, multiple fish and a requested target species made the charter a memorable five-hour trip aboard Blue Sky.
