Your crew
Every trip has a captain and a first mate. They speak English and Spanish, and they're the reason so many of our anglers come back.
- Capt. Luis HernándezCaptain
Known as Bayardo, Luis owns the Predator and captains every trip himself. He has fished professionally since 2000: 26 years in sportfishing, including the Los Sueños Triple Crown tournament. He's the “Capt. Luis” our anglers name in their reviews.
Facebook profile ↗ - Everth OrozcoFirst mate
Everth has 20 years on the water, the last 10 aboard the Predator, so he knows the boat inside out. On deck he rigs the baits, sets the lines and handles the fish at the side of the boat, working every trip alongside Capt. Luis.

Is a 28-ft boat right for you?
For one to four anglers, a 28-ft boat is quick to the fishing grounds and keeps everyone close to the action. If your group is larger, or you want an air-conditioned cabin, a bigger sportfisher will suit you better, and we'll tell you so.
