Charter Operator
Vida Loca

Member since December 2018 Cape Town, South Africa
Background
As a boat captain with over 25 years of experience focused in the marine industry, and thousands of sea miles on the South Atlantic Ocean, I can reliably say that the boat and crew that you choose to go to sea with will make a huge impact on the quality of your experience"
Techniques
The thrill of Tuna Fishing is way up on my priority list. I've also been honoured to captain our boat onto a massive monster of a Marline which we released and i'm not sure much can come close to this.....However, being at sea with some light tackle or just observing is just as nice and exciting with so much to discover and learn.
