About Your Guide

Martin V.

Outfitter

I was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands and started travelling Australia and Asia when I was 20 years old. I worked and lived there for 4 years teaching scuba diving. Me and my wife came down to Mexico in 1995 and never left. As a young boy I fished in the Netherlands every opportunity I had for Northern Pike, Sanders, Perch and Carp.

While in Cancun I started fishing the Cancun, Nichupte lagoon 20 years ago and I was hooked! Inshore fishing for Tarpon, Snook, Permit and Bonefish was and still is my passion. Both on fly and light tackle gear I can't get enough of fishing these shallow waters especially sight fishing.
