Cabo fishing gets the luxury treatment. Les Is More pairs serious offshore fishing with a 68-foot Viking yacht, a seasoned angler crew, a private bartender, and meals built around local seafood. I like the rare mix of fishing and comfort, plus the ability to shape the menu around allergies or dietary needs. I also like that the crew can turn a half-day outing into a celebration, as seen when they arranged decorations, welcome drinks, and a cake for a bachelorette group.

The main consideration is price. At $5,812.50 for the full group, this is not a casual boat rental for two people. It makes the most sense when you can fill much of the 14-person capacity and want a private day with food, drinks, fishing, and water time included. Weather can also change the plan, and trips canceled for poor conditions are moved to another date or refunded.

Key points to know before you book

Les Is More 68ft Viking Fishing Yacht Rental - Key points to know before you book

  • A true private yacht setup: The 68-foot Viking is reserved for your group of up to 14, with three staterooms and professional onboard staff.
  • Fishing plus fine food: The crew can serve breakfast, freshly caught sushi, ceviche, and fish tacos, depending on your selected menu and catch.
  • A seasoned angler crew: The boat is set up with high-end fishing equipment, and the crew has experience targeting several kinds of Cabo fish.
  • Flexible timing after rough weather: The operator has worked with groups to adjust departure times after a tropical storm, a useful sign when sea conditions are unsettled.
  • More than a fishing trip: Open bar service, a personal bartender, and onboard water toys let you shift from fishing to swimming and relaxing.
  • Best value for a group: The fixed price is easier to justify when shared among a large party, especially for a birthday, bachelor or bachelorette event, or family gathering.

What the Les Is More experience is really about

Les Is More 68ft Viking Fishing Yacht Rental - What the Les Is More experience is really about

Les Is More is designed for people who want Cabo fishing without giving up the comforts of a private yacht. You meet at the Cabo San Lucas marina in Centro, at Marina, 23453 Cabo San Lucas, BCS, Mexico. Pickup is offered, but you should confirm the exact arrangement when booking rather than assume your hotel transfer is included.

The yacht can be booked for roughly three hours up to a full day. That range matters. A short outing gives you time on the water and a chance to fish, while a full-day charter lets the crew build a fuller program around fishing, meals, swimming, and relaxation.

With room for up to 14 people, the boat suits a group that wants privacy. You will not be joining a large shared excursion with strangers. That gives you control over the pace, the menu, and the mood. One hour can be focused on fishing, another on lunch, and another on water activities if conditions allow.

The boat also has three staterooms. The supplied information does not say that overnight stays are included, so I would treat the staterooms as part of the yacht’s comfort and layout rather than assume this is an overnight charter. They are still useful on a long day, especially for changing clothes or taking a quiet break.

Leaving the Cabo San Lucas marina

The marina meeting point is practical and easy to identify in central Cabo San Lucas. If you arrange pickup, confirm where and when the transfer meets you. If you go directly to the marina, allow time to find the boat and meet the crew without rushing the departure.

The first part of the trip is about settling into the yacht. The professional staff handles the service, while the crew prepares the fishing equipment and gets the boat moving toward the fishing grounds. You can expect a more polished start than on a basic open-boat fishing outing, with drinks and food available as part of the all-inclusive setup.

The boat’s size is important here. A 68-foot yacht gives your group room to spread out, talk, eat, and enjoy the ride. It also offers indoor and outdoor areas, though the exact seating arrangement is not provided. If someone in your group does not care about fishing, that person can still have a comfortable day rather than sitting on a cramped bench.

Fishing with high-end equipment and an experienced crew

Les Is More 68ft Viking Fishing Yacht Rental - Fishing with high-end equipment and an experienced crew

Fishing is still the center of the experience. Les Is More comes with high-end fishing equipment and a seasoned angler crew, so you are not expected to bring a full set of gear or know how to handle every situation.

The fishing can produce a lively day. One outing brought in a mahi and a marlin. Another produced yellowfin, wahoo, dorado, mackerel, and white tuna. That list gives you a sense of the variety possible in Cabo waters, but it should not be read as a guarantee. Fishing depends on conditions, location, season, and luck.

I like the fact that the crew can make the activity work for mixed groups. Serious fishers can focus on the lines and the catch, while others can enjoy the boat, drinks, food, or water toys. On a shared fishing boat, everyone often follows the same schedule. Here, your private group has more room to set its own rhythm.

You should also keep expectations sensible. A full-day charter does not promise a full cooler of fish. The experience is strongest when you value the whole day on the water, not just the number of fish brought aboard.

Breakfast on the way out, then a seafood-focused lunch

Food is one of Les Is More’s biggest strengths. The menu uses local seafood and other high-quality ingredients, and the crew works with you before departure to create a plan. Allergies and dietary restrictions can be accommodated, which is especially helpful for a large group with different needs.

One outing began with breakfast as the yacht headed out. Later, the private chef prepared sushi and fish tacos using freshly caught fish. Another group singled out the ceviche and sushi as highlights. These details make the charter feel more like a private dining experience on the water than a fishing trip with a few snacks.

The catch also gives the meal a sense of place. If you land mahi, tuna, or another suitable fish, the kitchen can turn part of the day’s catch into a meal. That connection between fishing and food is more memorable than simply ordering lunch from a standard boat menu.

Still, confirm the exact menu in advance. The information says the menu is created from available options, not that every dish is automatically included on every booking. Ask about breakfast, lunch, fish preparation, allergies, and the timing of meals before you pay the balance or finalize the charter.

A few more yacht cruises around Cabo San Lucas worth a look

Open bar service and a personal bartender

The all-inclusive setup includes an open bar and a personal bartender. That is a useful feature for a celebration or a group that wants a relaxed social day without assigning one person to bring drinks and manage supplies.

The service also changes the tone of the trip. You can begin with welcome drinks, settle in for breakfast, and return to the bar after fishing. One bachelorette group received welcome drinks along with decorations and a cake, showing that the crew can handle special touches when arranged ahead of time.

The open bar is a benefit, but it should not distract from the practical side of the day. You are still on a boat, often in sun and moving water. I would pace drinks carefully, drink water, and follow the crew’s advice. The supplied details confirm onboard water is part of the setup, but they do not list every beverage or cocktail option.

A calm bay for swimming and water toys

A well-planned charter does not need to keep you at the fishing lines all day. After fishing, the crew may take you to a calmer bay for swimming and relaxation. One group used its final hour this way after catching mahi and marlin.

That change of scene is valuable. Fishing can be exciting, but it can also be tiring, especially after several hours in sun and open water. A calm bay gives you a chance to cool off, talk, and enjoy the yacht at a slower pace.

Water toys are included among the special features. The exact toys are not listed, so do not book with a specific activity in mind unless the operator confirms it. The same applies to swimming conditions. The captain decides what is safe, and rough weather may cancel or alter this part of the day.

This is one reason I prefer the full-day option for groups with mixed interests. Fishers get time with the rods, while swimmers and social groups get their own part of the itinerary. A three-hour booking may not leave enough time for every activity.

How the price works for a group of 14

Les Is More 68ft Viking Fishing Yacht Rental - How the price works for a group of 14

The listed cost is $5,812.50 per group, with up to 14 people included. That works out to about $415 per person if the boat is full. With a smaller party, the per-person cost rises quickly.

The value comes from combining several services in one private booking:

  • The 68-foot Viking yacht
  • A professional crew and seasoned anglers
  • High-end fishing equipment
  • A personal bartender and open bar
  • Food planning with local seafood
  • Three staterooms
  • Water toys
  • Private use of the boat for your group

For a group of 12 to 14, the price can be reasonable for a special occasion because you are splitting a fixed charter fee. It is easier to justify when the group wants a polished event rather than only a few hours of fishing.

For two or four people, I would think carefully. You may be paying for space and services you will not fully use. The charter makes the strongest financial sense for a family reunion, birthday, bachelor or bachelorette event, corporate outing, or group vacation where everyone wants to spend the day together.

You should also ask what your final package includes. The supplied information describes the experience as all-inclusive, but menu choices, special decorations, cakes, and other custom requests may need to be arranged in advance.

Weather, timing, and the importance of flexibility

Les Is More 68ft Viking Fishing Yacht Rental - Weather, timing, and the importance of flexibility

The experience requires good weather. If poor conditions force a cancellation, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. That policy is reassuring, but Cabo’s weather can still affect your vacation schedule.

The operator has shown flexibility after rough conditions. When a tropical storm passed before one booking, the start time was shifted to avoid the worst water. That is useful, but it does not mean every departure can be moved at the last minute. Contact the company as early as possible if the forecast looks poor.

For a short three-hour charter, weather changes can have a bigger effect because there is little spare time. A full-day booking gives the crew more room to adjust the schedule, though safety remains the priority. I would avoid placing this trip on the final morning of your vacation if fishing is a major goal.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted. The cutoff uses local Cabo time.

Who will get the most from Les Is More

This charter suits you best if you want privacy, comfort, and a full service approach. It is particularly strong for:

  • Groups of up to 14 who can share the fixed price
  • People celebrating a birthday or bachelorette event
  • Families with fishers and non-fishers
  • Food-focused visitors who want sushi, ceviche, and fish tacos
  • Anglers who want better equipment and an experienced crew
  • Groups that want fishing, swimming, and social time in one booking

It may not suit you if you want the cheapest possible fishing trip, if your group is very small, or if you care only about maximizing fishing time. A basic fishing charter could cost less, while this boat puts equal weight on food, service, comfort, and celebration.

Service animals are allowed, and the activity is near public transportation. Most people can participate, though the supplied information does not give details about wheelchair access or specific mobility arrangements. Ask the operator directly if anyone in your group needs special assistance.

Should you book Les Is More?

I would book Les Is More for a full group that wants a private Cabo occasion rather than a simple fishing outing. The strongest reasons are the large Viking yacht, skilled fishing crew, open bar, personal bartender, seafood menu, and the ability to move from fishing to swimming in a calm bay.

The biggest caution is the fixed price. Fill as many of the 14 places as possible, confirm the menu and pickup details, and leave room in your schedule in case weather causes a change. If you do that, Les Is More offers a polished day where the fishing is only one part of the experience.
