Les Is More 68ft Viking Fishing Yacht Rental

Les Is More pairs serious sport fishing with the sort of service you usually expect at a private resort. You can fish for marlin, mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, and other local species, then settle into a calm bay for swimming, food, and drinks. Chef Cris has prepared breakfast, sushi, ceviche, and fish tacos on past outings.

I especially like the private format for up to 14 people and the flexible timing after rough weather. I also like that your menu is arranged before departure, with choices for allergies and dietary restrictions. The main drawback is the price: $5,812.50 per group is a major spend unless you fill the boat and want a full-service day rather than a basic fishing charter.

Key points to know before booking

• 68-foot Viking yacht: Les Is More gives your group three staterooms, high-end fishing equipment, water toys, and space to spread out.
• Fishing and fine food together: The seasoned angler crew fishes while the onboard team serves a custom seafood menu, open bar, and food prepared by a private chef.
• Room for 14 people: The flat group rate can make more sense for a large family gathering, bachelor or bachelorette event, or close-knit group.
• A flexible weather plan: After a tropical storm, the operator adjusted the start time so the group could avoid the roughest water.
• Cabo departure and return: You meet at the marina in Centro, Cabo San Lucas, and finish back at the same point.
• Short trips or full-day charters: The stated duration ranges from three hours to one day, so you can match the outing to your budget and fishing plans.

A private Cabo charter with two very different moods

Les Is More is not simply a boat ride with fishing rods. It is a private yacht charter built around two parts of a Cabo day: the hunt for fish offshore and the easy pleasure of eating, swimming, and relaxing aboard a well-equipped boat.

That combination matters. A standard fishing trip may focus almost entirely on the catch. Here, the boat has three staterooms, a personal bartender, an open bar, water toys, and a food program based on local seafood and other quality ingredients. You can spend part of the outing working with the crew at the rods, then shift into a slower holiday mood.

The yacht takes up to 14 people. That makes this a poor fit for a solo angler looking for the cheapest seat available, but a much more sensible option for a private group that wants everyone together. The flat price is per group, not per person, so the math changes sharply depending on how many people share it.

At the full capacity of 14, the listed cost works out to about $415 per person. With 10 people, it is about $581 each. With only four people, it is roughly $1,453 each. Those figures are not a bargain in the ordinary fishing-charter sense, but they help explain the value: you are paying for a private yacht, crew, food, drinks, gear, and space for the whole party.

Leaving Cabo San Lucas Marina

You start at the marina in Centro, Cabo San Lucas, at 23453 Cabo San Lucas, BCS. Pickup is offered, though the available information does not spell out the pickup area or whether it carries an additional charge, so I would confirm that before paying.

The meeting point is practical for anyone already staying near central Cabo. You return to the same marina when the outing ends, which keeps the day simple. You do not need to arrange a second meeting point at a distant beach or resort.

The exact order of the day can change with the length of your charter, sea conditions, and what your group wants to do. A three-hour booking will necessarily feel more compact than a full-day outing. If fishing is your top goal, tell the operator that when arranging the trip. If the occasion is a celebration, tell them that too.

One useful example comes from a bachelorette outing. The operator decorated the boat, prepared welcome drinks, and had a cake ready. That suggests the crew can shape the charter around a special event, but you should request those extras in advance rather than assume they are included in every booking.

Fishing with an experienced crew

The fishing side of Les Is More is handled by a seasoned angler crew and high-end equipment. You are not expected to bring a full set of rods, reels, and tackle. The crew can help organize the fishing while the rest of your group enjoys the yacht.

The catch can vary, but the boat has produced a broad mix of Cabo species. Fish caught on past outings included yellowfin tuna, wahoo, dorado, mackerel, white tuna, mahi-mahi, and marlin. That list gives you a useful sense of the possibilities, not a promise of what you will catch on your date.

One half-day outing produced both mahi-mahi and marlin. Another day had fish on the line early and often, with several species landed. Fishing is never fully predictable, and weather and sea conditions matter, but the crew’s role is important. They handle the technical side so you can take part without needing years of experience.

I would set your expectations carefully. If you have one serious angler in the group, that person may want to spend much of the trip near the rods. Others may prefer the social side. A private yacht works well here because the group does not have to follow one shared idea of fun every minute.

The boat’s equipment is described as high-end, but the available information does not list exact rod types, reel brands, or the species targeted on each departure. Ask about the expected fishing plan if the catch is the main reason you are booking.

Chef Cris and a seafood menu made for your group

Food is one of the strongest reasons to choose this charter over a simpler boat trip. The menu uses local seafood and other quality ingredients, and the operator works with you after booking to plan the meal.

Chef Cris prepared breakfast while one group headed out, followed later by freshly caught sushi and fish tacos. Another outing included sushi and ceviche, with the food described as a highlight of the day. The appeal is clear: the fish is not just a trophy to photograph. It can become part of the meal.

You can also plan around allergies and dietary restrictions. That is especially useful for a private group, where one person’s food needs can otherwise complicate the whole day. Tell the operator early and get the agreed menu in writing.

The menu is not presented as one fixed meal for every departure. That is good news if you want control, but it also means you should ask what is included for your chosen duration. Breakfast, sushi, ceviche, fish tacos, and welcome drinks have all been part of particular outings, but not every item should be assumed automatically.

The food service changes the rhythm of the charter. You might fish in the morning, eat breakfast as the boat heads out, and later stop in a calmer bay for a more relaxed meal and swim. On a shorter booking, there may be less time for this full sequence.

Open bar, bartender, and water time

Les Is More includes a personal bartender and open bar, adding a resort-like feel to the day. Drinks can help turn the boat into a social venue, especially for a birthday, wedding-related event, bachelorette party, or family gathering.

The open bar is a major part of the package, but you should still ask what beverages are covered. The supplied details do not provide a drink list, so do not assume every premium brand or special cocktail is included.

Water toys are also available. The details do not specify which toys or how many, so ask before booking if swimming and play time are central to your plans. One group was taken to a calm bay for the last hour to swim and relax. That is a useful clue about how the crew can finish the outing, though the exact stop depends on conditions and the captain’s judgment.

A calm bay is more than a scenic pause. It gives non-anglers a proper activity and lets the group come together after the fishing portion. It also provides a break from the motion of open water. If anyone in your party is prone to seasickness, that calmer final hour may be welcome, but it does not remove the possibility of rough water earlier in the trip.

How the weather can change your schedule

The charter requires good weather. When conditions are poor, the operator offers a different date or a full refund. That policy is fair, but you should avoid building a tightly packed travel schedule around the boat if weather could make the departure uncertain.

A tropical storm had passed before one scheduled trip, and the operator worked with the group to shift the start time. The goal was to avoid the roughest water rather than force the original departure. That flexibility is worth noting, especially during a weather-sensitive season.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted and are not refunded. Cutoff times use local Cabo time.

The practical lesson is simple: keep the day after the charter flexible if you can, watch the forecast, and stay in contact with the operator. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability.

What the yacht setup means for your group

The three staterooms are useful for a full-day charter or for anyone who wants a quiet place away from the main deck. They do not turn the outing into an overnight cruise, since the advertised experience lasts from three hours to one day, but they add comfort and privacy during a long day on the water.

A 68-foot Viking is also large enough to give a group of 14 different ways to use the space. Some people can fish, some can eat, and others can sit back with a drink. That flexibility is one of the clearest benefits of a private charter.

Still, 14 is the maximum, not necessarily the ideal number for every group. If everyone wants to fish at once, the cockpit and fishing stations may feel busier than the rest of the yacht. If your group is mixed, with anglers and non-anglers, the boat’s layout makes more sense.

Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. The boat is near public transportation, but details about boarding assistance, mobility equipment, and specific accessibility features are not provided. If anyone in your party has mobility concerns, contact Cabo Yacht Charters before booking.

Comparing the price with a basic fishing trip

At $5,812.50 for up to 14 people, this is a premium private experience. You are not paying only for time on the water. The package includes a professional crew, fishing equipment, food planning, personal bartender, open bar, water toys, and a large yacht with three staterooms.

For a group of 12 to 14, the cost becomes easier to justify, especially if you would otherwise pay separately for meals, drinks, a private celebration, and a fishing charter. The value is strongest when the group uses both sides of the experience: fishing for some people, swimming and dining for others.

For two or three people, I would look closely at less expensive options. A smaller fishing boat may give you more direct time with the rods at a much lower total cost. Les Is More makes the most sense when the yacht itself is part of the occasion.

There are only two supplied ratings, both at the top level, so the perfect score is encouraging but based on a small sample. The detailed accounts praise the crew’s flexibility, the food, the boat, the catch, and the care given to special occasions. Those are meaningful strengths, but I would still ask clear questions before committing such a large sum.

Who should book Les Is More

I would recommend this charter to a group that wants one private setting for several kinds of Cabo fun. It suits families with mixed interests, close friends, corporate groups, and celebrations where food and service matter as much as fishing.

It is particularly well suited to:

• Groups of roughly 10 to 14 people that can share the flat cost
• Anglers who want quality equipment and an experienced crew
• Non-anglers who want swimming, food, drinks, and space to relax
• People planning a birthday, bachelorette party, or other event
• Diners who want locally sourced seafood, sushi, ceviche, or fish tacos
• Groups with allergies or dietary restrictions that need advance menu planning

I would hesitate if your only goal is the lowest-cost fishing trip, if you have a very small party, or if you need guaranteed catches and perfectly calm water. The boat offers a polished day, but fishing remains subject to nature.

My booking advice

Before you pay, confirm the pickup details, exact charter length, menu, beverage choices, water toys, fishing plan, and any celebration decorations. Ask which food and drink items are included for your selected duration, since the examples from past outings do not form one guaranteed menu.

I would also book early enough to allow the 48-hour confirmation period and keep your schedule flexible around weather. If your group can fill much of the yacht and wants fishing plus a private meal and swim stop, the price can be reasonable for the level of service.

If you want a simple, inexpensive half-day fishing trip, choose something smaller. If you want the boat to be the centerpiece of your Cabo celebration, Les Is More is a strong choice. Its best feature is not any single amenity. It is the ability to let anglers, swimmers, food lovers, and social butterflies enjoy the same day without splitting up.
