The ‘Papucho IV’ is a 45 ft Hatteras sport fisherman that is fully rigged for big game tournaments. It is a large, clean and comfortable yacht with an airconditioned interior. Together with its excellent equipment and features, and the captain’s fishing and navigating skills, the Papucho IV is one of the most successful charter boats for offshore fishing.

With his experience and being a connoisseur of the conditions of the sea surrounding the island and the fish that live in these waters, he is certainly one of the most reliable providers of deep sea fishing trips.
He speaks English, Dutch, Spanish and Papiamentu fluently.

Meet Captain Gordo and General the deck hand. Headed out and hooked several fish but some got off. We had two Marlin on at one time, one got off but landed the other one. On way back to port we hooked a Sail Fish and landed it. The captain and deckhand was right on the spot. Would recommend the boat and crew highly. I filled two fish on my bucket list with this crew. Thanks guys!!!

Mr John it was a pleasure fishing with you. A blue marlin and a sail fish will also make my day every single time. Blue Marlin is also tagged and you should receive a certificate soon from the Billfish foundation.
Take acre and all the best !

Had a nice trip with Capt Gordo. A friendly Captain with plenty of experience. Went 0 for 3 on the Wahoo bite. I’d take those chances again next time though. Overall had a good day.

Mr John , we did have a slow day that trip unfortunately, live baiting tuna fir wahoo is a hard way to catch as the were not biting by just trolling, think we had a good laugh that day dough.
I hope you enjoyed your stay here and maybe next time.
