Pelagic: pu’lajik (adj) relating to or occurring or living in or frequenting the open ocean; “oceanic islands like Bermuda”; “oceanic currents”; “oceanic birds”; “pelagic organisms”; “pelagic whaling”

Dorados, Tunas and Billfish are the most sought after gamefish in the ocean. They are pelagic species who roam the world’s oceans in constant search for food. That is where we got the name for our boat. With my love and addiction for sport fishing and Amy’s passion for photography and beaches, it wasn’t long until we decided to get our own.

We bought a 2nd hand (barely 2 years old) 22 footer hull in San Miguel Zambales, which was used for fishng the far seas of the open ocean, formerly named Angelica. Then we bought a new Briggs and Stratton 18HP engine in Manila. It was the perfect combination. It can tour 10 people around the islands and coves but we prefer only 5 tourists per trip as to not overload the boat.

We’ve entrusted our boat to someone very trustworthy and hardworking. Our boatman/skipper’s name is Randy Anciento. A father of two and a great husband (at least that’s what his wife tells me). But fact of the matter is, I have hired Randy a lot of times in my fishing adventures in Pundaquit. A local born in Talisayin Cove of Pundaquit, he works as a fisherman and as a guide for tourists and campers who visit the islands and coves during the holidays.

I’ve hired different boatmen from Batangas up to Pangasinan, purely for my fishing expeditions and adventure. I am not bragging when I say this, but Randy in his former boat (a smaller one) drove through the waves effortlessly and was alert to show me spots and structures only a real man of the sea will learn by experience and years on the water. That was his winning ticket as caretaker and skipper of my boat.

The Pelagic is now open for rent for the public. Max capacity is only 5 persons per trip. We have Life vests of navy and coast guard quality available for you and your friends to wear during your boatride. We strictly advise that you wear them for your own safety. We can never control the ocean and what it can bring, but we can avoid accidents by being smart and cautious at all times.
