Juan Mora Sportfishing

Member since June 2019 Garza, Costa Rica
Background
As a lifelong resident of Playa Garza, the ocean has always been at the heart of my life, with fishing as my enduring passion. Growing up by the sea, I dreamed of owning my boat and sharing the thrill of fishing with others. At the age of 12, I began working as a first mate under the guidance of a seasoned Cuban-American captain, who instilled in me a deep understanding and respect for the sport. This experience inspired me to pursue my dream of owning my boats and turning my passion into a profession. For me, fishing is more than just a job—it's a way of life I am thrilled to share with my clients.
