When he was a child, Capt. Pedro lived in San Blas Nayarit. His father was also a fisherman. Due to a difficult life, Capt. Pedro's mother brought them to the beautiful port of Vallarta. They changed jobs several times but in the end, the captain and his brother fell in love with the sea. With the efforts and help of their beautiful mother, they made the boats they have today. Capt. Pedro has worked from small boats to huge yachts and ships from the beginning as a simple sailor to where he is today. An experienced captain who can sail with and without equipment and who has wide experience in catching fish weighing from 30 to 250 kilos.
