Enjoy your ride aboard a 22’ NauticStar center console boat, powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. This is a seaworthy boat with plenty of room for 6 anglers.

The crew has tailored various packages to choose from. If you want to see what the inshore fishing in Puerto Rico has to offer, you can choose a morning or an afternoon package. The captain will take you to his secret hot spots, where you will get a chance to enjoy backwaters or reef fishing.

For those anglers who want some bigger action, the crew offers 4 and 6-hour trips to the “Marlin Alley” to target Mahi Mahi, White and Blue Marlin, Yellowfin, Skipjack, and Blackfin Tuna, and many more species.

Or just combine fishing and sightseeing during a 2-hour Fishing Eco Tour. Whilst admiring the stunning scenery of El Morro Fort, you will also get a chance to see what is biting.
