Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.

The calm backcountry waters of San Juan have the best spots to fish for Tarpon in Puerto Rico. It takes a professional to show you the best location, and Caribbean Fishing Adventures Charters is just what you need. A prized catch for all anglers, the Silver King is guaranteed to provide a colossal challenge. Captain Angel Muntaner has fished tournaments all over Latin America, and is just the guy to get you reeling in the biggest fish.

You'll sail these waters on the 'Tight Loop,' an 18' Hewes flats boat, specifically designed to navigate the shallow waters of the backcountry. Powered by a 115 HP Evinrude engine, you'll calmly purr your way to the sweetest spots, so as not to disturb the fish beneath. This is a very comfortable vessel, that comes equipped with top of the line gear.

Trips are suited to every angler's taste. Fish for Jack Crevalle nearshore, go fly fishing for Snook and Mangrove Snapper, or sail to the backcountry waters to target one of the best game fish – Tarpon. Light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, drift fishing – the variety of fishing techniques will impress any angler, be it a novice or a pro. Capt. Angel and his crew also specialize in fly fishing, and really recommend this technique when it comes to battling your own Silver King!

Caribbean Fishing Adventures Charters is all about meeting your Puerto Rico needs! Capt. Angel will prioritize your needs, delivering a quality sport fishing adventure. You'll be offered refreshments such as fruit, drinks, and snacks on board, and you can even stop for a poolside rest and lunch on longer trips, so you get the best of both worlds. So step aboard to experience the thrill and get a chance to unwind – that's a real holiday!

Amazing Hospitality!!!
Easy Going Trip - 4:00 PM on November 1, 20252 adults
We booked a 2 Hour Easy Going Trip, and we got rained out, so we decided to end the trip earlier. The owner was understanding and allowed us to book for another day with better weather conditions AND NO ADDITIONAL COSTS. On top of that, he also drove us back to our hotel! Aside from the business aspect of this. The owner was very helpful, informative, social, and you can tell he loves what he does and wants to ensure a great experience for the customer in every sense. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

3/4 Day Trip on March 20, 20262 adults
Immediately, this is a great trip that I would recommend taking. Second, do not expect that Angel (the 'captain') will not be your captain for the fishing charter itself. The captain we were paired with was one of Angel's emlpoyees Josh. Josh was fantastic as a captain. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. He was extremely dedicated to helping us catch fish. He chummed, moved spots, and re-baited all when needed.The fishing itself was enjoyable and easy (made moreso by Josh). The boat and equipment was great for what we were doing. I would recommend this charter to any group from a medium/small size family to dedicated anglers. Do not expect that Angel will be your guide, but do expect a great time with a fantastic guide like Josh. He needs a raise!
