What do I need to bring?
Personal items such as sun screen and medication. Please note the UV rating, coupled with the reflection off the water, it can really do you in fast. All of our boats are equipped with overhead shade but it's always a good idea to wear additional protection against sunburn in the summer months.
Also, Bring an ice chest with food and drinks to consume during the day. Zip-lock bag gies to package your fish.

Do you grantee I will catch fish?
No, that's why it's called "Fishing" and not "Catching". However we do feel your chances are as good with us as anyone else. Our catch rates are well respected within the Ensenada fishing community.

What is the best time of year to fish?
It really depends on what you want to fish for.
See: Fishing Types and time of year.

Do I need a fishing License?
All persons boarding the boat regardless of whether they will fish or not require a Fishing License.

What is proper gratuity for the crew?
Proper gratuity for the crew is truly up to you. We recommend 10/15% but of course it's your call.

How many people will be boarding the boat?
Each charter has a capacity that is base on size by the Mexican coast guard and harbor master.
The capacity is listed on the webpages for each boat.
