I spent my childhood fishing in the Caribbean waters. I am a 3rd generation fisherman, who grew up fishing with his dad and siblings at an early age. I have won many prestigious Billfish tournaments held in Ocean World, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Because of my curiosity for fishing at an early age, I asked many questions at the fishing docks to experienced fishermen which provided me with pointers and teaching methods. It was my passion for fishing that brought me to become a captain. On my full-day trips, you also get two-for-one with my passions, an experienced charter captain, and a chef! Cooking is another of my passions, so as a special service, we'll cook on board our catch for free.
