History
The origins of Baja Ferries date back to 1991 when the French shipowner Daniel Berrebi obtained import/export contracts for Mexico from Alstom. In 1994 following the entry into force of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Berrebi opened a first freight line between Mexico and the US initially then on the Western Mexican Coast from 1996. In 2001 the shipowner began its passenger transport activities by commissioning a high-speed ship between La Paz and Topolobampo, Sinaloa.
In 2003, Berrebi chartered a mixed vessel with a rolling capacity of 2,100 linear meters from the Italian shipyard Visentini
