Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Our Story

Flyfishing Uno Mas was created over 20 years ago by local guide and flyfishing instructor Gildardo Castillo, also known as "Captain Tortuga."

He loved flyfishing so much that he taught classes in Flyfishing at the local school in Cozumel so that his students might share his passion for the sport.

Captain Tortuga had a vision that Cozumel would become a major destination for anyone who would love to catch Bonefish on a fly rod in an Island Paradise.

After his death in 2015, the company was purchased by the current owners, Ruben Poot Vera and his wife, Yanely Tamayo in order to continue the Vision of Captain Tortuga.
