It is not the great days of fishing or tournament wins that make me love it so much, it's the small details of each day that remind me of how lucky I am. It can be the most action-filled day of White Marlin or Tuna fishing or the longest, roughest, and most uncomfortable crossing I've ever made, either way, it's my job. And I'm happy to do it. Of course, it's not all record-breaking days and tournament wins. There are certainly frustrating days but then I realize that I am doing something that I love. When we raise a double or a triple, I forget about looking up and get excited about fishing all over again.' Captain Pedro holds numerous tournament awards from All Millionaire Pacific Circuit Tournaments, the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament, and the South Africa WorldChampionship – to name a few. This winter 2026, we made 2 major upgrades, in our boat; now we have a new omni sonar, and a new electric iron Min Kota; both to help us to improve fishing. Numbers from the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament indicate that boats using omni sonar can experience catch rates 60% to 84% higher than those without this powerful technology. No one would argue with the premise that omnidirectional sonar is a great fish-catching tool.

Pedro is a real Fisherman's Fisherman.
Full Day Trip–Marlin, Bonito, Mahi on September 24, 2026 • 2 adults
The expertise and hospitality were world class. Pedro has fished around the world and is an experienced billfish tournament pro. But he has none of the arrogance you often find among U.S. charter boat captains - he's a total gentleman who fishes for the love of it. Would absolutely book with him over and over again.

What an absolutely incredible experience! We had a perfect sunny day, and the fishing was simply unbelievable we were catching fish almost every minute! Our captain was outstanding, making sure everyone had an amazing time while sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommended, we’ll definitely be back!
