Captain
Alberto Alejandro Méndez Gutiérrez

Member since February 2026 Coco, Costa Rica
Background
The sea has been my teacher. I've been a commercial lobster diver, I've fished offshore, I dove for ornamental fish for aquariums for 25 years, and currently in tourism—I've had and operated this boat for 13 years now. So I believe that's quite a bit of experience.
Techniques
The main fishing methods we use here in the area, and the most common ones, are trolling or drag fishing, spinning and casting when there are large schools of fish, and handline fishing or bottom fishing with rods. Those are the three most common methods used here, where we catch the local seasonal fish species.
