Help Captain Carlos Get “Dos Amigos” Back on the Water

Carlos is a beloved local captain and proud panga owner from La Ribera, Baja California Sur, Mexico. If you’ve ever been out on the Sea of Cortez with him, you know his big smile, his laughter, and his deep love for the ocean. He’s one of those people who makes every trip memorable — not just for the fishing, but for the joy and heart he brings to everyone around him.

Sadly, Carlos is now facing a devastating setback. Recently, thieves stole his boat from the marina and stripped it of nearly everything — including his Yamaha 225 outboard motor, most of the electronics, and essential fishing gear.

This loss has left Carlos — and his longtime deckhand and friend Alberto — in serious financial hardship. The boat, Dos Amigos, isn’t just a vessel; it’s their livelihood and the way they provide for their families.

Carlos is a hardworking, life-loving man from the Almanza family, a name known for generations of honest fishermen who’ve worked these waters for years. The sea is in his blood, and Dos Amigos is his dream.

We’re asking for your help to get Captain Carlos back on the water — to replace his stolen motor and gear, and to bring Dos Amigos back to life.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in helping a good man rebuild what was unfairly taken from him.

Let’s come together as friends, visitors, and lovers of the Baja to show our support for a captain who’s given so many of us unforgettable days on the water.

❤️ Thank you for helping keep Captain Carlos’ dream afloat.

⚓ Let’s get Dos Amigos back in business!
