Press clipping - El Zorro Too on El Zorro


"Yes Aye" started life as the "El Zorro Too" a fishing tender on back of Jim Edmiston's 100ft "El Zorro" mother ship (see pic) which did 2 world tours visiting famous fishing hotspots in the quest for a 2000 lb marlin!. Read all about it here: She graced many fishing magazines often with a big marlin alongside!
Eventually Jim sold "El Zorro Too" to Grenadian Cliff Wardally in 1995 who renamed it "Yes Aye" (a Rastafarian exclamation best translated as an emphatic Yes!).
"Yes Aye" was overhauled in Trinidad (2009), engines were replaced and fibreglass canopies added to the flybridge & cockpit

Captain Gary Clifford


Originally from Aylesbury UK, Captain Gary grew up coarse fishing and graduated to carp and then barbel fishing. Gary emigrated to Grenada in 1996.
By chance Gary became Cliff Wardally's next door neighbor. Naturally Gary ended up fishing with Cliff on "Yes Aye" for a year after which the opportunity came to purchase the boat when Cliff moved to Miami in 1997.
True Blue Sportfishing was started in 1998 and has become the leading charter boat on the island.
First mate Godfrey George (aka George) started sport fishing with Gary in 1999 - 2003 and worked on other boats inbetween before returning to Yes Aye in 2018
