Cabo Sportfishing Catch – Nine Dorado Offshore
Dorado are among Cabo San Lucas’s most recognizable offshore game fish, prized for their vivid colors, energetic fights, and rapid movements.
For Gracen’s group, nine dorado provided the primary fishing action during the eight-hour charter.
The species is also widely known as mahi-mahi, making the day’s results particularly relevant to the guests’ original fishing preferences.
Captain Luis and the Blue Sky crew completed nine dorado catches, giving the ten passengers multiple opportunities to participate in offshore fishing.
Although the group had also expressed interest in wahoo and striped marlin, neither species was recorded in the confirmed catch.
The booking details do not establish how many dorado were retained or released.

Cabo Fishing Charter – Customer Appreciation Experience
This January 29 reservation was organized as a customer appreciation outing for ten roofing contractors and industry colleagues.
Rather than a conventional individual fishing trip, the charter brought business contacts together for a shared offshore experience.
The private 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky allowed the group to fish together while enjoying the hospitality arrangements included in their reservation.
Several features distinguished the outing:
- Nine dorado caught during an eight-hour charter
- Ten roofing industry guests from Raleigh, North Carolina
- Private 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky with Captain Luis
- Tournament Dredge – Fish Attraction Device included
- Lunch arrangements featuring steak and chicken options
The guests had specifically requested chicken as an alternative for participants who did not eat steak.
Providing both options helped accommodate the group’s stated meal preferences.
Cabo Fishing Charter – Tournament Dredge Equipment
The reservation included the Tournament Dredge – Fish Attraction Device, specialized trolling equipment designed to create the visual impression of schooling baitfish.
This presentation can attract predatory offshore species toward a vessel’s fishing spread.
Dorado, marlin, and other game fish often investigate concentrations of baitfish, making visual attraction techniques useful in offshore trolling.
The equipment was included in Gracen’s charter package, although the record does not establish which individual dorado responded to the dredge.
Cabo Fishing Catch – Planning the Day From Hyatt Ziva
The ten guests were staying at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos in San José del Cabo.
Before the charter, Gracen had asked about the distance between the resort and the marina, travel time to the fishing grounds, and whether the group might see the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas.
The fishing charter departed from IGY Marina in Cabo San Lucas, rather than from San José del Cabo.
The Arch is located near the entrance to Cabo San Lucas Bay, but the reservation does not confirm whether the vessel passed close enough for sightseeing.
Similarly, travel time to offshore fishing grounds depends on the captain’s selected destination and the day’s conditions.
The confirmed trip schedule was 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
