Explore Ensenada Bay or go even further, to the deep offshore spots. Mendoza’s Sportfishing is a year-round fishing charter that makes all of your fishing dreams come true. If you’ve always wanted to catch Tuna or Barracuda, the day has come. You don’t need any special preparations, not even fishing experience - just a bit of positive attitude and some muscle strength.

You’ll be fishing on a spacious 40’ Chris Craft boat. Powerful and comfortable enough to accommodate up to 8 guests, this boat gives you the opportunity to share this adventure with friends and family. As all trips are private, you’ll always have the whole boat to yourselves.

This convertible boat has twin 375 HP Caterpillar engines and modern navigational equipment. Using the advantage of a flybridge this boat has, you can spot schools of fish even when they’re far away. To make the trip more comfortable, there’s a private toilet and there’s also a multimedia system to add more fun.

There are several types of Tuna you can catch here - Skipjack, Yellowfin, and Bluefin. These torpedo-shaped fish are very fast and put up a great fight. You can also target Barracuda, Yellowtail Amberjack, and Rockfish. The main technique you’ll use is trolling.

The crew will take care of your fishing equipment and clean the catch if you want to keep it. You’ll need to prepare your license on time and pack some snacks and drinks. Don’t forget hats and sunglasses, so you can experience the action without the sun in your eyes.

Mendoza’s Sportfishing is waiting for you. Join them next time you’re around!
