Team Pura Vida is a Tampa, Florida-based offshore sportfishing team competing at the highest levels of tournament sportfishing. The team competes aboard the Pura Vida, a Custom 62’ Paul Mann docked in Los Sueños Marina, in Costa Rica. Led by owner and angler JC Gonzalez, the team has fished many iconic tournaments such as the Bisbee’s, The Los Sueños Triple Crown, IGFA Open, Offshore World Championship, International Masters Angling Tournament, & The Pelagic Rockstar. Comprised of family & friends, this team has a family-centric view with both male and female anglers.
We get asked a lot what makes us different. No secret here, it’s the love for the sport and the bond we have as a team and as a family. — JC Gonzalez, Owner/Angler, Team Pura Vida
