5.00Captain Mateo was amazing and went above and beyond for us! We saw so many fish, they were everywhere just didn’t want to bite for us! But that’s okay! Such a beautiful morning and we spotted some manatees! Thanks again!

1.00My wife and I booked a 4.5-hour trip with high hopes and left disappointed. To be clear, Captain Alex was fantastic. He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard throughout the trip. This review is not directed at him personally. We understand that fishing is never guaranteed and that no captain can make fish bite. We accepted that risk when booking the charter. However, spending nearly $400 and 4.5 hours on the water without catching a single fish, getting a bite, or having any action whatsoever was frustrating. What made the experience more disappointing was learning that other boats were at least catching some fish that day while we never had a single opportunity. We were told our boat was the only one using live bait, which made the outcome even more surprising. After the trip, we reached out to see whether the company would consider any type of goodwill accommodation given the experience. We were not asking for a guaranteed catch, only some recognition that spending hundreds of dollars and coming away completely empty-handed is disappointing for customers. That request was declined. Again, we recognize that fishing is unpredictable. Unfortunately, from a customer perspective, paying $400 to catch absolutely nothing—not even a nibble—made this trip feel like poor value for the money spent.

Fly fishing for Tarpon

5.00Fly fishing 1.5 days with captain Tommy and Miguel. Had a good time- guides put us on tarpon but since we were exclusively fly fishing it made it hard. Lots of tarpon around but sight fishing was limited while we were there. Boats are perfect for this water- stable with big casting platforms. We had our own equipment but borrowed some from the guides which was excellent. Would suggest they add trolling motors to be able to position the boats in deeper water where we couldn’t cast to keep us in the “zone” better and avoid right shoulder winds. (Unless you’re good at backcasting!). We saw lots of big tarpon but mostly rollers which were deeper when feeding. Suggest intermediate sink tips and selection of flies to bring. We got best results on the rollers from large (9-10inch) baitfish patterns that moved some water. Overall would do again but not really for beginner fly fisherman unless you just want to practice and get a saltwater experience. (Guides will help you cast and one of our group ((77 yr old with no saltwater fly casting experience) did jump one tarpon and got a nice snook. Had a
Highly Recommend - Great Fun!!

5.00This could have been a miserable trip with the rain, mosquitoes, and being towed back to shore, but it was not! Captain Miguel did a great job of getting us on fish immediately! When we were waiting for the fish to bite, we talked and had an enjoyable time! This was a memorable and amazing experience! Thank you Captain Miguel! I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys nature and fishing!

5.00We had Captain Abi on our tour today with me, my wife, and our 10 and 12-year-old boys. We did the 7 AM for our tour and had probably around 10 bites and were able to land one solid tarpon, about 15 pounds)! Even though can’t ever guarantee fish on a fishing trip, more importantly, we had great conversation and a peaceful morning on the lagoon. Abi was great with the kids, and they really enjoyed seeing the tarpon come up for air all around us. A few barracuda bites made for some excitement also! Make sure to bring extra bag/cooler with snacks and additional drinks. Great way to see a different side of Puerto Rico. Highly recommend!
Amazing
