A cedros island group fishing trip is the kind of experience that becomes a yearly tradition. You go once, you see what the fishing is like, and within 24 hours of getting home you’re already texting the group chat about coming back next year.<\/p>\n
Cedros Island delivers everything a group of serious anglers could want \u2014 world-class yellowtail and tuna, a true all-inclusive setup where nobody has to worry about logistics, and an open bar that runs all evening. If you’re the one organizing the trip, this guide covers everything you need to know to pull it off right.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of fishing destinations in Baja California. Cedros Island is the one that stands out for groups specifically because of three things:<\/p>\n
1. The fishing is genuinely world-class \u2014 every single day<\/strong> 2. The all-inclusive format is perfect for groups<\/strong> 3. Small group format means everyone gets attention<\/strong> <\/p>\n Each panga holds up to 3 anglers<\/strong>. For a group trip, Toro runs multiple pangas simultaneously so every group of 3 gets their own boat and captain.<\/p>\n Group size breakdown:<\/p>\n Most group trips run 6\u20139 anglers \u2014 big enough for a great group dynamic, small enough that everyone knows each other and the evening stories are shared around the same table.<\/p>\n The small panga format is one of the biggest advantages of this style of trip. On a long-range boat out of San Diego, 20+ anglers are competing for fish and space. At Cedros with Toro, your group of 3 has a private boat, a dedicated captain, and the flexibility to target exactly what you want \u2014 whether that’s surface iron for yellowtail, swimbaits for calico bass, or live bait for whatever is biting hardest that day.<\/p>\n Important:<\/strong>\u00a0Contact Toro directly to confirm availability for your group size before booking. Summer and fall dates fill up months in advance, especially for larger groups.<\/p>\n \u2192 Message Toro on WhatsApp \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Day 1 \u2014 Travel + Afternoon Fishing<\/strong> Days 2\u20134 \u2014 Full Fishing Days<\/strong> Day 5 \u2014 Morning Fishing + Departure<\/strong> This is what every angler in your group gets with every package:<\/p>\n \u2705 Round-trip charter flight from Tijuana to Cedros Island What’s not included:<\/strong>\u00a0Tips for guides and staff (budget 15\u201320% of trip cost), and your CBX bridge crossing ticket (~$18\u201320 each way).<\/p>\n \u2192 Full details: What Your Trip Includes \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the question every trip organizer gets asked first. Here’s the math:<\/p>\n The 5-Day Package is $3,300 per angler<\/strong> \u2014 that’s 4.5 days of all-inclusive fishing with everything covered. Flights, lodging, all meals, open bar, massage, tackle, live bait, and fish processing. One price, no surprises.<\/p>\n Compare that to what a comparable trip actually costs elsewhere:<\/p>\n When you add up what a comparable trip actually costs piece by piece, Cedros with Toro is the better value \u2014 because there’s nothing left to add.<\/p>\n Package options for your group:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCedros Island sits 60 miles off the Baja coast in protected biosphere waters where fishing pressure is strictly managed. The yellowtail are big (15\u201340 lbs), they’re abundant, and they cooperate. There are no “off” days at Cedros \u2014 if one technique isn’t working, your captain switches to another. With Toro’s live bait barge \u2014 the only one on the island \u2014 you have an advantage no other group on the water can match.<\/p>\n
\nNothing kills a group trip faster than someone feeling nickel-and-dimed. At Cedros Sportfishing With Toro, everything is covered \u2014 flights, lodging, chef-prepared meals, open bar, tackle, live bait, fish cleaning and vacuum sealing. One price. No surprises. Every guy in the group knows exactly what they’re paying before they show up.<\/p>\n
\nPangas accommodate up to 3 anglers, with an experienced local captain who knows every productive spot on the island. No crowded party boats. No fighting for a spot on the rail. Every angler on every panga gets personalized attention and maximum fishing time.<\/p>\nHow Many People Can You Bring?<\/h2>\n

What a Group Trip Looks Like \u2014 Day by Day<\/h2>\n
\nMeet at the CBX bridge in Otay Mesa (15 minutes south of San Diego). Cross into Tijuana International Airport and board the charter flight to Cedros Island \u2014 approximately 2 hours. Arrive mid-morning, get settled at the lodge, and head out for an afternoon fishing session. Your first fish of the trip is usually in the water before lunch is done digesting.<\/p>\n
\nUp at 5:00 AM. Breakfast at 5:30. On the pangas by 6:00 AM. Fish until mid-afternoon \u2014 typically around 3\u20134 PM. Return to the lodge, clean up, and the real group trip begins. Cold drinks on the deck, fish stories getting taller by the hour, chef-prepared dinner as the sun goes down over the Pacific. The open bar runs all evening.<\/p>\n
\nA few final hours on the water before packing up. Your fish has been cleaned, filleted, vacuum-sealed, and packed for the flight home throughout the trip. Fly back to Tijuana, cross the CBX, and drive home with a cooler full of yellowtail and enough material to dominate the group chat for the next six months.<\/p>\nEverything Your Group Gets \u2014 The Full All-Inclusive Breakdown<\/h2>\n
