Capt. Enrique has been fishing since he was a kid. For him, being on the water feels like a second home. He's started chartering 16 years ago but has been an avid angler for over 2 decades. Today, the captain loves to share his skills and experiences with other people by taking them fishing himself. The captain also loves participating in tournaments and has over the years had a lot of success competing. Nowadays, he enjoys taking people out on trips and helping them fall in love with fishing and Cancun.
