Boat From Ensanada To Salsipuedes

lazylightning - 2-29-2016 at 05:19 PM

Has anyone ever chartered a boat from Ensanada to Salsipuedes to surf? How long does it take to drive to the harbor at Ensanada from San Diego border? How long is the boat ride? I'm not expecting to get any info. Expecting the worst and hoping for the best... Thanks everyone.

About 74 miles from San Ysidro to Ensenada on the scenic (toll) road. Figure 60-90 minutes depending on traffic

I would come down and talk to the boat/fishing guys. You can park in the lot behind the fish taco stalls for about 5 pesos, then walk along the malecon looking for fishing/tour boats

Make sure you get a Panga, if you get a cruiser it's a long boat ride. The same guys that do Killers will do Salis, It's about a buck and a half plus tip. Sometimes you gotta give them a little gas money to start the trip.

Great advice thank you so much.

get there the day before. expecting to arrive at 4am shouldn't be expected to yield optimum results.

Maybe camp at Playa Saldamando the night before and get to the docks by 530am...

We have available a 42" yacht in Ensenada at the Cruise Ship terminal with available parking. No need to get up at 3am.

Docked at the cruise ship marina.

No need to do it old school and only hope for the best. Relax, send me an email, book this beautiful, comfortable boat in advance and just enjoy surfing in Salsipuedes.

my buddy does Salsipuedes charters for surfing and fishing....matter a fact had surfers there yesterday......25 ft buddy cabin boat out of La Salina PM me ill give more info

700 is steep we only have 3 surfers. I think we just need a panga. Is it true that pangas will get there much faster than a regular boat? Don't know much about boats obviously...

MMc - 3-1-2016 at 02:02 PM

Most the cruisers ron about 8-10 miles per hour Pangas about twice that speed. YMMV.

I know, it's beautiful.
It belongs to a friend of course, so we could negotiate the best possible rates.
The full day rate for this boat is very inexpensive and we've rented it out for Todos Santos (Killers) and Salsipuedes for surfing. The original idea was the whale watching.

Do you have to wear ugly pants, like those shown in pictures, in order to board?

Ateo - 3-2-2016 at 10:26 AM

Rude👎🏿. I like those pants.

Sorry for what is perhaps a stupid question from a non-surfer: why would you take a boat to Salsipuedes? Is there no longer beach access from the road?

MMc - 3-2-2016 at 11:08 AM

That area is closed to public access. It has been closed for a few years now.

BigBearRider - 3-2-2016 at 11:31 AM

Thanks for the explanation.

yellowklr - 3-2-2016 at 01:44 PM

when do you want to go? I can help you out..

Ateo - 3-2-2016 at 01:57 PM

I'll chip in $100 for a boat ride in that Yacht!
