    Fantastic trip followed by a great lunch!

    We did the cruise ship special. We had so much fun! The captain and her son did a great job. We caught Sierra and bottom fish. After the trip the catain walked us over to a restaurant across the marina where they prepared tacos with our fish! Best meal we have had on this trip! Thank you!!

    From Nervous to Hooked! 🎣

    We had such an amazing experience on our fishing charter with Yhara and Manny! 🎣 Yhara was incredibly attentive and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. As a beginner, I really appreciated how patient she was and how she took the time to teach me and help me feel comfortable. I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous at first when I saw how small the boat was, but those nerves quickly disappeared. It ended up being one of the BEST experiences I’ve ever had! Manny was full of character, energy, and life, and he worked so hard to make sure we were taken care of. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure everyone was having a good time. Manny, I truly hope you know how much we appreciated you and that you received the tip we left you. I honestly would have left you more, but I didn’t have enough cash on me. Now I know for next time! 😊 We caught a great amount of fish, including bonito, whitefish, and scorpionfish, and we were absolutely thrilled with our catch. The whole experience was fun, exciting, and memorable. Thank you, Yhara and Manny, for making our trip such a great one. We will definitely be returning and recommending you to others. Until next time! 🎣❤️

    This trip was Amazing. The crew was great at always making sure we had everything we needed. The catch was unreal. I dont even know what to do with so much fish. Really the best crew to go with. Super friendly, always on top of everything, and great at teaching the ones who try the sport for the first time.

    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!!

    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.
