David Sliss
CAPTAIN
David started to learn about the ocean and fishing and found his passion for the sea. Captain Sliss started his career in 1996 working on the long-range fishing vessels of San Diego. In 2006 he earned his first US Coast Guard Captain licenses. Over the years Captain David went from fishing vessels to private yachts, and for the past 15 years this has been his passion. Since 2006 David has moved up in the maritime industry to now holding his 1,600-ton Master’s License. Throughout his career, Captain Sliss has traveled and worked in many areas of the world including Panama, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and the USA Northeast. In the end, the destination he has always found to be home is Baja where he spends his days spearfishing, surfing, or just simply basking in the Baja sun.

Tomas Rodríguez
DECKHAND
Tomas is from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. He was born into a sailing family - his father being a captain and his mother being a chef. He has a Chemical Process Engineering degree obtained in Puerto de Manzanillo and developed skills in quality control, processes and logs. At some point, though, Tomas decided to listen to his heart, leave the engineering career and follow in his family footsteps by joining the yachting industry. He started his new journey in Puerto Vallarta and, after getting to know all the Bahia de Banderas, he found an opportunity of growth in Los Cabos. Customer service and entertainment onboard are his thing now, and his goal is to see the entire Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean while dedicating his professional life to it.

For charters outside Mexico, crew joining Captain David are to be determined.
