Meet Captain Carlos Lindquist

Captain Lindquist brings a wealth of Caribbean fishing experience to our team. Starting at an early age Carlos loved fishing and the water; by age 19 he was licensed and his professional career started. Working with famed marlin Captain Jim Estrada of Black Pearl, they posted an amazing first season together with top charter boat in the 2015 Atlantic Blue Marlin Open.

Early 2016, he moved over to a private tournament boat, Rukus, with Captain Jerry Emmanuel in the British Virgin Islands. Their third day together they posted first place and the win in the 2016 Scrub Island Invitational Daily. Later that year they racked up another placement, getting third in the 2016 Virgin Gorda Marlin Open. 2017 wins include 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the Junior Angler Wahoo Jamboree in Virgin Gorda, BVI. In a short 3 years Carlos had established himself as one of the best hands in the islands.

Late 2017, he got the opportunity in St. John, USVI to join Captain Joshua Bourg of the World Class Anglers group, fishing on a 36' Carolina Classic. At 21, Carlos earned his Captain's license and began working inshore charters and running the offshore charters. Once again his determination, hard work and experience put him and his boat on the board with a 2nd and 3rd in the St. Thomas Dolphin Derby. In 2020, working the vessel Just Fish, Carlos returned to the 2021 Dolphin Derby with 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, Top Female Angler and best boat wins.

Over the years Carlos has mentored under some of the best anglers in the world — Charles Perry, Robert “Fly” Navarro, Paco Vela and Dean Dunham — as well as the captains mentioned above. He brings an amazing range of specialties to our operation: live baiting, tease and pitch for billfish, deep dropping, and trolling the deep Caribbean waters for all pelagics. Inshore, he fishes permit, snapper, grouper, snook, bonefish and tarpon.
