"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.

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.

Eat, sleep, and breathe fishing? So do we. Only in it for the ocean view, tan lines and sweet pics? That's cool too. Whatever your reason, we will make your fish wishes come true... The only country in Europe, where you can get ''Granders'', the record of a lifetime, is at your hands...
