Meet the Captain

Carlos Corces
Bissau, Guinea-Bissau
I started with the family boats, then soon after I got a shipyard in Spain. From here (in 1988), I began sailing, fishing, diving, and being out on the water, constantly! That hasn't stopped since. I have fished in Brasil, Argentina, Chile, Florida, Spain, the Mediterranean, Africa (West Africa and Zanzibar) to name a few.
