What should my team confirm before paying?
Ask what the base entry includes, which jackpots are optional, how many anglers may compete, and what paperwork the boat needs. Confirm minimum fish weights, release-video evidence, the fishing boundary and the last check-in time in the current rulebook. Arrange the boat separately unless the organizer explicitly includes it.
Weigh-ins and spectator access
The public weigh station is at Puerto Paraíso on the Cabo San Lucas Marina from 2:00 to 9:00 p.m. during fishing days.
Scale hours are a viewing window, not a guarantee of fish arriving at a particular time. Keep boat access clear and ask the organizer whether ceremonies or dinner need a separate ticket.
Accommodation and travel
Where to stay
Registration and the scale are beside Puerto Paraíso; the awards are farther around the marina at The Place at Cabo. Check the walking route from a marina-area stay, and confirm your actual charter departure dock before choosing a room.
