Missy Yacht at Fortuna Charters SA de CV - 70987 Marina Chahue

Who we are…

I’ve been fishing all my life. I owned a boat before a car. My love of big game fishing started 34 years ago on a trip to Kenya to a resort named Hemingways. Instantly hooked, 2 trips per year and within 3 years i had bought my very own charter boat there. Since then, fishing destinations include Azores, Portugal, USA, Panama, Canaries, Tanzania and Ireland. In 2001 I went to Ireland to try for Giant Atlantic Bluefin Tuna. This was a new fishery and exciting as so close to home. I met with an amazing chap, Adrian Molloy, and we quickly became friends, swapping ideas and experiences and trying different methods, techniques and speeds etc. We have seen good years and terrible years and usually rough (big seas and winds). In 2015 we began to see an increase in numbers. In 2016 I purchased O’Fortuna (Aquabell 33′ Med). 2016-2019 we caught, tagged and realeased over 300 Tuna, average weight 324lbs. 2020 I purchased a new boat, Fortuna II, now fitted out ready for the UK 2021 Tuna season.
