Captain Chris Serra

Chris grew up on the beaches of Rhode Island surfing, fishing, and boating. He moved to Maui in 2010 and began his career in professional sport fishing. Chris loves the thrill of catching all species of pelagic fish including Mahi Mahi, Ono, and Ahi, but especially the Blue Marlin. The challenge of finding and landing these large fish is unmatched.
