This port is reported to be the simplest place on the Pacific coast of Mexico to enter into the country and secure your TIP paperwork. Officials are used to dealing with foreign yachts.
All Port Clearance for yachts is done in one federal office; there is a different window for each department. Offices are visited in a specific order. This is also where you get your TIP. You do not need an agent.
If you have all your paperwork in order it takes a couple of hours. It helps if you speak some Spanish and bring lots of pesos in small denominations to cover the costs of paperwork.
Marina staff can clarify which order you visit each department and may also review paperwork to ensure you are completely ready. Officials will only inspect your boat if there is some problem. They do not work on weekends.

Cruiseport Marina Wi-Fi is reliable and steady in the evenings. Second time in Ensenada now, first in December 2016; Ensenada seems cleaner and as friendly as ever, if driving, vigilance to potholes and other drivers a super must, overall few complaints and nice small town ambience compared to the four-lane one-way freeway culture many of us have come from.
Cruiseport is fairly new and pretty good. Facilities are clean. Security is good. There is WiFi but it is not the fastest.
Baja Naval is a small marina outside a big boat repair yard. Everyone hauled out is also using those showers and toilets.
Baja Naval is a nice Marina. As a lot of Marinas in Mexico, the cleanness of the shower and bathroom is disappointing.
