The maker

Built by one pair of hands

“I was born fishing in Cuba, in murky rivers with small spearguns. That is where I learned to make my way underwater. Today I keep the same essence: sea, wood, hands and passion.”

My passion for spearfishing was born in Cuba, fishing in murky rivers with small spearguns made to get by. Over the years that passion became a way of life, and a love of building my own spearguns by hand, always respecting the essence of traditional fishing.

Years later, settled in the Canary Islands with a family and that same maker's instinct, he built a speargun in his workshop and gave it to a friend. Then came the first orders. Little by little, what started as a hobby became a way of life.

Today every Rocco is cut, shaped, sanded, painted and assembled by Carlos in his own workshop in the Canary Islands, and tested by him in the sea. No two are the same.

The name

Why Rocco?

Rocco Spearguns is named after his best friend: his dog Rocco, who goes with him on many of his fishing days. The name stands for what every speargun that leaves the workshop should be: loyal, reliable and made with care.

High quality, craftsmanship, precision and creativity: that is what Rocco Spearguns stands for.
