Castillo Tours is all about finding the fish, having tight lines, and tons of action in the bountiful waters of Puerto Rico. Head to the San Juan Bay Harbor, hop on board, and in just 25 minutes, you will be 2 to 5 miles offshore fishing the “Blue Marlin Alley.”

If you are looking for something different on your next vacation, there is a trip for you. Any passionate angler should “taste” these productive waters at least once in their lives. They are home to various pelagic species depending on the season, such as the likes of Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Yellowfin Tuna.

The ‘Legend’ is a beautiful 48’ Hatteras that is conveniently located at San Juan Bay Marina. She comes powered by twin motors and has plenty of space for up to 6 anglers. The Legend was overhauled in 2015 and is rigged with electronics and professional accessories. She features all the comforts of home, including an air-conditioned cabin with a TV, a refrigerator, a restroom, a kitchen, sleeping area.

Please check our fishing calendar to see which fishes are in season for the date you are fishing with us. We look forward to accommodating you and sharing an adventure on the high seas!

SHOULD WE RETURN TO THE MARINA TO DROP OFF AN ILL PASSENGER AND THEN RESUME THE CHARTER, A $ 275 FUEL CHARGE WILL BE INCURRED.

    Caught Marlin in June, Wonderful experience Captain and Deck Hand very helpful and knew the Water. Son hooked up first got it next to boat tagged leader then lost it. I was up next, reels clicked off pulling line,fought for awhile finally landed fish. Great experience and recommend to anyone looking to hook up and fight marlin.
  • A view of the open sea with gentle waves, showcasing the tranquil marine environment.

    The time and financial commitment of the customer and crew makes it unreasonable for zero strikes, bites, or sightings. We explained before the trip we didn't care what we caught as long as we caught something. The crew put in the time but we left feeling they didn't care if we caught fish or not.
  • Angler proudly displaying a Barracuda while fishing offshore, showcasing the excitement of a successful catch.

    My husband and I each brought in a yellowfin tuna weighing 30-35lbs. For us, this was a first! Captain Pitain and Franco were very knowledgeable and friendly. We spent a few hours trolling for billfish with no luck but that's fishing. We enjoyed the day very much!

    Franco and Captain Pitain were excellent. It couldn’t have been easier to arrive at the marina and get going out. Starts out with a beautiful view driving out the Port of San Juan; passing El Morro. It’s a quick drive to the fishing grounds; maybe 30 minutes from the dock to lines in. We went out on an unlucky day, so we did not have much action, but we did catch 1 sailfish. Good stock of drinks and some individual sized bags of chips. Franco was an incredible first mate! Very quick and efficient, fun to talk about and will explain as much or as little as you want about the fishing setup. Captain Pitain also was excellent up at the helm, communicating with nearby boats to try to get us on some fish. Great day in The Legend!
