Captain Roberto has been fishing, quite literally, since he was old enough to hold a rod. Since the age of 3, he's been casting his line into the Pacific, and became a captain in 2000. He's a passionate Costa Rican and is proud that he can speak English in order to teach tourists about the beauty of his country. He hopes to leave a lasting impression on each customer.
