Ismael with Kelly Sports is an awesome guide! He worked hard to make us comfortable and have as much fun as possible. He got as excited as my two boys when they caught a fish. Very highly recommend his services!

Amazing!

Andrea_S, May 2024

Ismael was an amazing captain! He put us right where the fish were and we were catching them within minutes. He also was kind enough to create a video of our experience for us which he surprised us with at the end. Definitely recommend!!!!!

Kellyfish Charters are amazing!!!

Freddy_R, Oct 2023

We had a blast!! Migel and Daniel were amazing hosts! The fishing was incredible, we lost track of how many fish we caught!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

We are so happy you had such a great day out fishing with us! Thanks for the kind words and we hope to see you back on board next time you’re in Cabo!

Phenomenal Experience!

Megan_T, Sep 2023

We had an AMAZING time with Ishmael and Miguel! We caught the legal limit of mahi mahi and got tuna as well! They made it a blast and made it accessible to our beginner level! They’re definitely experts at what they do! We heard other people on the dock saying the fished all day the day before with another company and got no mahi mahi, within our first half hour we had ours and hit the limit even in just our half day fishing trip! Ishmael definitely knows what he’s doing as a captain and a fisherman!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We are always happy to hear from clients who had such a great experience fishing with us! Thank you for the kind words and we are happy you are now no longer “beginners”! Come back soon!

Success!

Lee_C, Aug 2023

Few fish were being caught on any boat he had contacted. Even the men on the dock said none of the boats were catching fish. He searched & worked very hard for us to have fish!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for the great review! We work very hard to try and put our clients on the fish so we appreciate your kind words! Come back and see us again next time you are in Cabo!

Amazing private Fishing Tour

Tuc_T, Jul 2023

My husband, brother in law, and 6 year old son had an incredible time fishing in Cabo with this private tour. They caught 8 fishes, and brought back 3. We had one of the restaurants at our resort cook us a four course mahi dinner and it was a delicious memorable experience. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for joining us and we are so happy your gang had fun! Come see us again next time!

Father’s Day Fishing Trip

Monica_A, Jun 2023

What an amazing trip! I cannot say enough great things about Capitán Ismael. He was tentative, professional, and easy going! We booked a full day trip and finished early with so many fish! Truly a wonderful experience! We can’t wait go come back. **I would advise to exercise caution with the filleting crew. We felt like we did not receive all our fish back. Additionally, we payed for vacuum packing and the fish to be frozen. It was not frozen.**

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much for your great review and see you next time

Great Captain! You'll have so much fun!

Ward_T, Jun 2023

Above and Beyond

Daniel_B, May 2023

Ismael went above and beyond to make sure we had every opportunity to catch some great fish. We had a great time and would absolutely book again. Thanks!

Ishmal was so great with...

Linh_B, Mar 2023

Ishmal was so great with us and was determined to help us catch some fish. The first hour was quiet with no bites but we ended up with about a dozen bonita and trigger fish with our half day tour!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much for your review and see you next time

Go with Kellyfish!!!!!

adominoevans, Oct 2022

Our experience with Kellyfish was AMAZING! Ishmael and Andy were professional, helpful and patient! On top of that we caught and released a Marlin and caught 2 mahi mahi!!! We will definitely use kellyfish again!!!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much for your preference and for your great review hope see you again

THANKS FOR THE BEST DAY EVER!!!! KELLYFISH CABO, YOU ROCK!!!!!

Kenneth_J, Aug 2022

So sorry, Ismael. This is SO late in coming, but as they say, "Better late than never.". We had never been deep sea fishing, let alone booked a trip using an online company. I was a bit nervous. My fears were unfounded. Suffice to say... I would STRONGLY recommend Kellyfish Cabo Sportsfishing. Our party.. got a bit lost, so arrived a little late, but Ismael, our captain, was very gracious. That was my first impression of Captain Ismael. While on the excursion, Ismael and his deckhand were incredible!!! Clearly, they knew exactly what they were doing. Their professionalism with changing lures, depending what area we were in, was most impressive! MOST Impressive!! It was a poor day for fishing for all the various fisherman. Yet, when we did get a strike, they were all over it; making sure everything was in place and ready to go and easy for us to just enjoy our experience fishing. Finally, when our time slot had expired (6AM - 10AM), Ismael went the extra mile... more like two. He did everything he could to ensure our time was enjoyable, even if the fish weren't biting. We had a blast. Funny enough... it wasn't until we were on our way back to the harbor, and BAM!!!! I watched the fishing reel take off. Before I even knew what was happening, Ismael had already jumped down from the wheel and was ready to help me out. Then... snap! That marlin snapped the line and that was that! It didn't even matter. We had so much fun that day. Next time we're down there and book a fishing excursion, the ONLY company I will even consider is Kellyfish Cabo Sportsfishing! Thanks again, Ismael. You are AMAZING!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a fantastic review! We could not be happier that you had such a fun time fishing with us! We would love to have you back on board anytime! Hope to see you again soon!

Disappointing Experience

Michael_S, Jul 2022

Experience was guaranteed to come with english-speaking guide & bottled water. Neither happened. There are tons of people offering this service. Go with another company

Response from Host, Jul 2022

We are sorry to hear you didn’t have an excellent experience fishing with us and we apologize for having an off day. We strive to provide great service to all our clients and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us to improve our business. We do hope we can make it up to you next time you are back in Cabo.

Great Experience

Angela_O, Mar 2022

Ishmael was an awesome captain. He made sure we caught fish and had a great time! We will be back to fish with him again.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thanks for the nice comments! We are happy you enjoyed your fishing trip and look forward to having you back whenever you are in Cabo!

Book with confidence

Jason_K, Mar 2022

I fished with Ismael on the Kellyfish for two days and had a blast! First thing Ismael asked was what I wanted to fish for. I told him I wanted to fish strictly for marlin. I've had captains try to convince me to fish for whatever species is currently on the bite. Not Ismael, he was happy to accommodate. Fishing was a little slow, it's not peak marlin season but Ismael and Luis stayed positive and determined the whole time. We fished hard and finally got a nice striped marlin to bite! If you don't catch fish with Ismael and Luis it won't be for lack of effort, it's up to the fish to bite! I've fished for billfish in Mexico, Costa Rica, Aruba, Hawaii and Florida. I'm not an expert, I just love to fish and always sneak a couple days fishing while on vacation, but I've done enough of these trips to say that you can book with Ismael with confidence. Ismael is a top shelf fisherman. Next time I'm in Cabo I know who I'm fishing with! Gracias amigo!

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thank you amigo! Congratulations on your Marlin! We are always happy to have you come fishing with us so come back again soon!

Not as planned or booked

Joseph_B, Mar 2022

This is the 2nd of two trips I booked with Kellyfish. I was booked with Kellyfish and when I arrived I learned that I was going with a totally different Company called Pacific Time fishing or something similar. His bookings will show available although he's not and then pass you off to one of his friends that doesn't have a charter that day. Ask as many questions as possible before you book with this company so that you don't show up and things are not as you expect. And no we didn't catch a fish this day or even get a bite.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Again, we apologize for the confusion regarding your charter. We have several qualified captains and boats we work with to accommodate all the anglers who book their fishing trips through our company. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. We appreciate your comments and your feedback and will work to improve our fishing service.

This was the first of two...

Joseph_B, Mar 2022

This was the first of two back to back trips that I booked with Kellyfish. We caught five fish which made the day just ok. The second trip was not as expected or planned. I will just say ask as many question before you book and know before you book. Especially if you plan to book with Kellyfish and then later learn you will be with a total different company. Keep track of all your correspondence you may have via text or email because he truly does and you can compare if a situation comes up.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Hi Joseph, we are sorry for the confusion regarding your charter. We do our best to accommodate our clients and we have several qualified captains and boats we work with in order to do so. We apologize if you did not have a positive experience. Please let us know if there is anything we can do as we are always trying to improve our fishing service.

Smoke Show!

brian_a, Dec 2021

Ishmeal with KellyFish is a experienced Guide and boat Capitan. His wisdom of fishing the areas around Cabo stood out as we outperformed 30 other boats today. His love for fishing and being on the water is what he wants you to Feel and experience for yourself. Communication from the day prior to the trip throughout the adventure was seamless. Furthermore the preparation of the catch, storage until departure again communicated well and seamless. Lastly, he recommended taking a bit of todays catch directly to the restaurant Solomons Landing at the marina. Where they cooked a large Wahoo Filet 4 different ways for us. Splendid, really blown away actually. Great value. Expectations exceeded. Made a new friend. Will repeat and recommend. Brian, Peoples Republic of Texas.

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Thanks for high praise! We are happy you are happy and look forward to having you back on board! Come back soon!

Epic trip, favorite Cabo experience

Dayton_D, Apr 2021

Despite half our party not feeling well the morning of fishing, we had an absolute blast! Was such a need experience fishing for marlin and the captain really knows his stuff. If you’re considering a Cabo fishing expedition and want the best chance at catching big or small game fish, this is the boat for you! It even had an indoor cabin and bathroom on board which was a lifesaver for the half of us that weren’t feeling good all morning. We are coming back to Cabo in September and will book a trip with him again to fish for Mahi Mahi!

Response from Host, Apr 2021

Can't wait to have you back next time! Hopefully with everyone feeling better! Thank you for the great review and we'll see you in September!

Fantastic

Laurie_G, Feb 2021

Ismael and Mateo are an amazing team. They both operate in a professional manner that gives the passengers a sense of comfort and ease. I highly recommend. It was a great outing.

Response from Host, Feb 2021

Thank you for the kind words! We really enjoyed meeting you and having you guys on board! Come back soon!
