Sea Born Fishing - Fishing Tales
Sea Born Fishing - Fishing Tales
'Only good things can come from combining fun and passion' is the motto of Sea Born Fishing, operating out of breathtaking San Juan, Puerto Rico. Professional and passionate, they will provide you with the most incredible game fishing experience only 20 minutes away from the harbor, where the waters are over 600' deep.
Captain Alex Obén owns and operates the lovely 'Fishing Tales,' a 45' Hatteras flybridge boat that can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. This beauty was completely remodeled in 2018, with new electronics, interior, paint job, engine works, and many other things done.
The Fishing Tales features a professional fighting chair and top-notch navigational and safety equipment. It comes powered by twin Detroit Diesel motors, 550 HP each, and features a restroom, shower, kitchen, and outriggers. This is not just your average fishing boat – you'll be able to enjoy the comforts of home while fishing thanks to air-conditioning, TV, refrigerator, and a multimedia system on board.
You won't spend any time traveling to the best fishing grounds – all the big game species are abundant in the waters only 20 minutes from the docks. The captain will do everything to put you on that trophy Marlin, Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Tuna, and whatever else your heart desires.
He'll provide you with high-end fishing gear, live bait (when available), and lures; you just have to bring your own tackle if you want to go fly fishing. The first mate will clean and fillet your hard earned catch, so gratuity for his efforts is very appreciated. You'll also be provided with delicious snacks and drinks, such as chips, Doritos, beer, and sodas. Luch can be available upon request on full-day trips but please note that this option is charged extra.

Captain Alex and Adrian were phenomenal hosts on a lovely fishing attempt. Unfortunately for us the sea sickness got to us before the fish. We asked to go back early and they were so nice about it. Adrian was so sweet and made sure the ever present puke bucket was always clean and cold water and paper towels were plentiful. We wish we could have stayed and fished but it it was not meant to be. The boat was sparkling clean and they seemed super knowledgeable about the trip. Maybe we will try again with scopolamine patches.
Once in a lifetime trip! Where do I start...Fishing charter with SeaBorn for my 55th birthday. Started out with a hook up with a Marlin an hour into the trip - saw it breaking the surface and fought it for 30 minutes but were not able to get it to the boat. My 14 year old son was next up - got a double hook up and lost the one but he boated a nice little sailfish. Then my 16 year old daughter was up - another double hook up - this time my son brought another sail to the boat for leader tag to indicate a catch while the sail my daughter was fighting took almost the entire reel. After the first sail was released, the captain and crew turned to work on my daughters sailfish which she was able to bring the boat as well - she won the pool for the largest fish much to my son's dismay. Finished off the day with my wife boating a cuda. Highly recommend Sea Born Fishing - great boat, captain and crew!
Took great care of us including one person who got a little sea sick. Despite trying different bait and areas came up empty as did all the other boats. We were on edge of a storm front which could have made it a challenge! Would go out with them again!
We spent an excellent afternoon. Captain Oraca and Gaby (mate) were very attentive. They have a great experience. We caught a white marlin !!!!!!!!! The crew always looked for a way to make us comfortable. If you are looking for a good fishing experience they are the option. A+++++.. Thanks!!!!
We had a great day with Alex and his mate. Super professional and lots of fun. Weather was great, fishing was a little slow, we hooked up twice and caught a white marlin. Definitely recommend!!
