We were visiting Ensenada during a family cruise, and this fishing trip turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our vacation.

This was my 70‑year‑old dad’s first time fishing in Ensenada and my 12‑year‑old son’s first trip to Mexico. From the moment we stepped on the Lucky II, we felt welcomed and taken care of.

Marco, the owner, started us off with a hands‑on crash course on the rods and setup, which really helped — especially having three generations on board. Captain Juan and his crew, Alberto and Manny, were outstanding all day. They worked nonstop, constantly adjusting and making sure everyone — from my dad to my son — was comfortable and involved.

When trolling wasn’t producing, we switched to live bait and that’s when the action started. We had just come from Cabo where we only caught one fish, so this trip completely turned our vacation around. Manny helped me land my first yellowtail — an unforgettable fight and a moment I’ll always remember. Seeing my dad and my son smiling with their catches meant everything.

Alberto prepared fresh ceviche for us right on the boat, which was incredible. Later, we took some of our fillets to a local restaurant in town and they cooked them up for us — hands down one of the best meals of the trip. There’s something special about catching your own fish and enjoying it with your family just hours later.

The boat is named Lucky II, and it truly lived up to its name. Before we left, Marco handed me a $2 bill and said it was lucky. He was right — it turned into an amazing, memorable day for our entire family.

This crew is professional, patient, hardworking, and genuinely cares about your experience. Perfect for all ages. We will absolutely be reaching out to them the next time we’re in Ensenada.

Highly recommend.

We took our daughters, son-in-law & niece on a cruise & decided to spend the day with Lucky Sport Fishing in Ensenada….it was the absolute highlight of our trip!! We caught so many smaller fish & then cane the yellowtail….our niece & son-in-law both reeled in their own yellowtail & the laughter was non-stop, we even enjoyed some fresh sashimi that the captain cut prepared for us….it was so YUM!!

Took our buddy out for his 50th. Had an awesome time. The crew catered to our needs. Lots and lots of various fish. Best part was the rockfish sashimi they made. Delicious!! This was our second time fishing with Lucky sportsfishing. Definitely will be a third. Since the crew took good care of us, we took good care of them. Thanks again Lucky sportfishing.

Staff was awesome, booked a tuna trip but the fishing report wasnt looking good so we focused on yellowtail and had good success. captain was great and huge shoutout to Guero for all the hard work and delicous sashimi! great trip for a group of friends or family.

We were 7 people, 4 adults and 3 children 4-12years old. We caught so many fish. Great for adults and kids! The captain and crew helped with the gear, and filleted all fish! Bring your own food and water. As well as life jackets for anyone who cannot wear an adult size. Super affordable fishing trip with an experienced crew. They even made tasty ceviche from the catch for a snack!
