Member since August 2021 San Jose del Cabo, Mexico

Background: After having some bad experiences on different charters in Baja, The owner Richard bought his boat in 2019, wanting to start something that people could enjoy. He went out and hired the best captains Lizandro and Jesus and deckhand that both could speak English. With their father and most of the family members being fishermen, they grew up in the local town and have been fishing since little kids. They know how to fish, enjoy what they do, and will work hard for their customers to provide an unforgettable time and help make memories on the water. Almost all of the customers so far have said they felt like they were fishing with family on their trips.

We had a great 1/2 day trip with Jesus and Gabby. We were a family of 4 with a 5 and 7 year old. They had never been on a boat or caught fish. We all had a blast.
