Meet Captain Richard – Where Passion Meets the Tide

At Scorpion Fishing Charters, this isn’t just about fishing—it’s about sharing the love of the water. Captain Richard, a Canadian who’s spent his life fishing lakes, streams, and oceans, brings decades of experience and a deep passion for the sport to every trip.

Now calling Progreso, Mexico home for the past few years, Richard invites you aboard his traditional panga boat to explore the calm, shallow waters of the Ría—a place rich with life, color, and tranquility. 

His greatest joy? Seeing guests light up as they reel in a Snook, Tarpon, or Speckled Trout for the first time.

Every charter is more than just a fishing trip—it’s a personal experience guided by someone who truly loves what he does. With Richard, you’ll not only catch fish, you’ll feel the magic of Mexico’s coastline, connect with nature, and create memories that stay long after the tide rolls out.
