Honeymoon Adventure: Tyler and Kim’s Unforgettable Fishing Charter with Blue Sky Cabo
Newlyweds Tyler and Kim, fresh off their wedding vows, decided to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Leaving behind the bustling streets of New Orleans, the couple journeyed to Cabo San Lucas, a renowned destination known for its pristine beaches, vibrant nightlife, and most notably, its world-class fishing opportunities. For their honeymoon, they opted for something unique: a thrilling fishing expedition with Blue Sky Cabo.
On October 1st, just a week after saying “I do,” Tyler and Kim set sail on Blue Sky Cabo’s 32-foot Luhrs sportfishing boat, with Captain Jorge at the helm. The day turned out to be nothing short of extraordinary, marked by stunning weather, incredible scenery, and a fishing haul that most anglers dream about—five dorado and a 200-pound blue marlin.
A Honeymoon Like No Other
The couple’s decision to honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas was rooted in their mutual love for adventure and the outdoors. Cabo San Lucas, perched at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, has become a premier destination for sportfishing, drawing visitors from around the globe. For Tyler and Kim, who had long wanted to experience deep-sea fishing, it was the perfect choice to combine relaxation with the thrill of catching some of the ocean’s most sought-after species.
Staying at Breathless Cabo San Lucas Resort & Spa, a luxury adults-only resort located right on Medano Beach, they were surrounded by breathtaking views of the marina and the Sea of Cortez. The modern amenities, infinity pools, and lively atmosphere were just what they needed to unwind after their wedding festivities. But the crown jewel of their honeymoon was their fishing charter with Blue Sky Cabo, where they would put their angling skills to the test.
Setting Sail with Blue Sky Cabo
Their fishing trip began early in the morning on October 1st. After a delicious breakfast at Breathless, Tyler and Kim made their way to the marina, where Captain Jorge and the crew of the 32-foot Luhrs were waiting for them. The sleek, well-maintained Luhrs sportfisher was equipped with everything needed for a day on the water, including high-quality fishing gear, spacious seating areas, and a shaded deck to keep cool from the sun.
Captain Jorge, a seasoned expert with years of experience navigating the waters off Cabo, greeted the newlyweds with a warm smile and a promise of an exciting day ahead. The weather was picture-perfect—clear skies, calm seas, and just the right amount of breeze to keep things comfortable. With their gear loaded and spirits high, they set off from the marina, cruising toward the rich fishing grounds just a few miles off the coast.
The Thrill of the Chase: Landing Five Dorado
As the boat cut through the crystal-clear waters of the Sea of Cortez, Tyler and Kim marveled at the stunning views around them—the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas stood tall in the distance, while the rugged coastline painted a picturesque backdrop. But soon enough, the calm of the morning was replaced with the anticipation of what lay beneath the surface.
Captain Jorge skillfully guided the boat to one of his favorite fishing spots, an area known for its abundance of dorado (also called mahi-mahi). These vibrant, fast-swimming fish are known for their striking colors—brilliant shades of green, blue, and gold—and for putting up a strong fight once hooked.
It didn’t take long before the first reel started to whine. Tyler, eager to land his first catch of the day, took the rod and began the battle. With Captain Jorge’s expert guidance, Tyler reeled in a beautiful dorado, its iridescent colors shimmering in the sunlight as it broke the surface of the water. Over the next few hours, the couple landed five dorado in total—each one a thrilling challenge, requiring strength, patience, and teamwork.
The Fight of a Lifetime: Hooking a 200-Pound Blue Marlin
As the morning turned to afternoon, Tyler and Kim were already ecstatic with their catch. But the day wasn’t over yet. Captain Jorge had one more surprise up his sleeve—a chance to hook one of the most prized catches in sportfishing: the blue marlin.
Known for their massive size, speed, and agility, blue marlin are considered one of the most challenging fish to catch. Anglers often dream of landing a marlin, and for Tyler and Kim, the opportunity to reel in one of these majestic creatures was the ultimate test of their skills.
The crew set up a larger, heavier rod, using specialized lures designed to attract marlin. For a while, the waters seemed calm, but suddenly, the line shot out with incredible speed. The reel screamed as a massive blue marlin took the bait and began its rapid escape into the deep. Tyler took the rod first, bracing himself for the fight of a lifetime.
The battle was intense. For over an hour, Tyler and Kim took turns on the rod, their arms burning from the effort as they tried to gain ground on the powerful fish. Each time they thought they were getting closer, the marlin would dive deep or take off in a burst of speed, stripping the line from the reel and testing their endurance.
Finally, after a grueling fight, the marlin began to tire. With Captain Jorge’s expert maneuvering of the boat and the couple’s relentless effort, the magnificent fish was brought alongside the boat. Measuring nearly 10 feet in length and weighing around 200 pounds, the blue marlin was an awe-inspiring sight.
A Moment to Remember
Captain Jorge and the crew helped Tyler and Kim carefully bring the marlin close enough for photos, ensuring the fish remained healthy and safe for release. They snapped a series of photos to commemorate the incredible achievement—a fitting trophy for the couple’s unforgettable day on the water.
After ensuring the marlin was strong enough to swim away, the crew released the fish back into the ocean, watching as it gracefully disappeared into the depths. For Tyler and Kim, the experience was far more than just about catching fish—it was about connecting with nature, sharing an exhilarating adventure, and creating memories that would last a lifetime.
Celebrating at Breathless Cabo
As the boat headed back to the marina, the newlyweds reflected on the day’s events with a sense of accomplishment and excitement. They had not only landed five dorado and a blue marlin but had done so together, working as a team on their first adventure as husband and wife.
Upon returning to Breathless Cabo San Lucas, they were greeted with cheers from fellow guests who had heard about their epic fishing tale. The resort’s luxurious atmosphere was the perfect place to relax after a long day at sea, and Tyler and Kim celebrated their success with a romantic dinner overlooking the marina, recounting every thrilling moment of their adventure.
Why Blue Sky Cabo Stands Out
Tyler and Kim’s unforgettable fishing experience was made possible by the exceptional service and expertise of Blue Sky Cabo. From the professionalism of Captain Jorge to the well-maintained 32-foot Luhrs sportfisher, every detail was carefully planned to ensure the couple had the best possible experience on the water.
Blue Sky Cabo has built a reputation as one of the top fishing charter companies in Cabo San Lucas, offering a range of fishing packages for both novice and experienced anglers. Their commitment to customer satisfaction, safety, and sustainable fishing practices sets them apart in a competitive market. The company’s emphasis on catch-and-release for species like marlin ensures the long-term health of Cabo’s rich marine ecosystem, allowing future generations to enjoy the thrill of sportfishing.
A Honeymoon to Remember
For Tyler and Kim, their honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas was more than just a vacation—it was the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, filled with adventure, teamwork, and unforgettable memories. The thrill of reeling in five dorado and a 200-pound blue marlin was the highlight of their trip, a story they would share with family and friends for years to come.
As they returned home to New Orleans, their hearts were full of joy and their minds filled with the sights, sounds, and excitement of their Cabo fishing adventure. Thanks to Blue Sky Cabo and the stunning beauty of the Sea of Cortez, Tyler and Kim had experienced a honeymoon unlike any other—a perfect blend of romance, relaxation, and exhilarating sportfishing that they would cherish forever.
