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.

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.

Hello. I’m not a fishing person but my spouse enjoys fishing. This is my first time booking a fishing trip.  I used my credit card to book $75 and rest due at the ship day of trip.Parking can be tricky , we found a legal spot to safely park my Tahoe plus we noticed a parking structure that was open for our next trip. Fish was small but it could be the time of year. Last year in October they were all big.so now we know.the 2 man crew were respectful and attentive. I felt safe and relaxed. I recommend this place which is also cheap to what you pay in the us.
