Reel Hard Fishing Charter
If you plan on fishing in San Carlos, look no further than Reel Hard Fishing Charter. Your guides for the day are Captain Jesse (bilingual) and 1st mate Ramon, who have been fishing the sea of Cortez for over 20 years. Their experience will surely increase your odds of catching that trophy fish you have always dreamed of.
These waters are known for Bonito, Striped Marlin, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Yellowtail Amberjack, Mackerel, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi,Tuna, Grouper, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don't forget to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Your excursion begins aboard the Reel Hard, a 28' Albin Downeast that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Reel Hard Fishing Charter!

Charles Gray5.0VerifiedGreat 1/2 day trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on October 9, 2026 • 2 adultsFrancisco our Captain was great and ready to go pronto. This trip was my wife's first time in San Carlos. My goal was too get her on fish and catching which is what happened as soon as the lines were in the water. We got into a lot of Skip Jack's had a dozen or so very quickly. We were hoping for something else and change up to bottom fishing no luck. Went back to trolling and caught more Skip Jack closer the shore which was fine. I wasn't looking to bring home fish on this trip but keep hooking up on fish which was great for my wife who loves to fish. We would definitely recommend Reel Hard Charters again. We hope to come back for Yellow Tail in the early spring! Thank you again Reel Hard Charters!

Scott Harris5.0VerifiedGreat San Carlos Fishing Trip
8 hour full day on August 21, 2026 • 2 adultsThe captain and crew did a phenomenal job finding us fish in some hot weather. The boat was in great shape and ready to roll each morning with no waiting. We are planning to head back down in the fall or spring and will use Reel Hard fishing charter again!

8 hour full day on April 17, 2026 • 4 adultsOur captain was great. He tried multiple types of Fishing to put meat on the deck. The weather was rough the first day, but the second day really paid off. We would come back and book again and go out with Captain.

6 hour. 3/4 day on June 13, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a blue marlin bite and loss him. We continued to fish for another three hours with no luck. The Captain changed lures a few time until he found the right one and landed it! Nice Captain.
