What is a SEFCO??
SEFCO stands for the Spread Eagle Fishing Company in Negril, Jamaica which is the entire inspiration for setting up our business. Captain Patrick LaGrone was the ultimate dreamer a.k.a the ideal entrepreneur and small business owner. In the early 1980'-s he founded and operated Raiders Pest Control and Raiders Courier Service in Houston, Texas. In the early 1990'-s he sold everything he owned, bought a boat in Florida (the Spread Eagle), and sailed it to Negril, Jamaica, where he established and operated a deep sea fishing charter. His daughter (our founder) grew up helping him run his businesses and has dedicated her life and career in his honor to helping other dreamers run their companies.
RIP Patrick LaGrone 5/1/1952 - 5/7/2020.
