3/4 Day Trip on July 17, 2026 • 7 adults • 3 childrenCaptain and First Mate great guys. really wished we caught more fish. first time for my younger boys and we each only caught one each.
Steve SchulzRepeat angler•Missouri, US•Member since 20214 trips5.0VerifiedExcellent crew — great charter!
Half Day Trip (PM) on March 21, 2022 • 9 adults • 6 childrenTook 5 young anglers (ages 10-15) out for a half day on the continental shelf. Captain Matt and his crew mate Jeremy were outstanding. Put us on top of some great spots and the boys reeled in barracuda, mackerel and amberjack. Successful and memorable morning on the beautiful deep blue waters off Vieques. We’ve hired several charters in FL, SC, etc, and this was by far the best crew we’ve encountered. Easy going, professional and fun.
Jesse Sapp•Florida, USMember since 20175.0VerifiedWhat a crew!!!
Sport Fishing Half Day Trip (AM) on July 21, 2017 • 6 adultsThe Captain and Frank were awesome !! We had to deal with Mother Nature issues as well as the majority of the group suffering from sea sickness. Even still they kepted fish on the lines, and were able to help most everyone recover.
John Kontour•Colorado, USMember since 20155.0Verifieda great fishing trip
3/4 Day Trip on September 23, 2015 • 3 adultsWe had a great time fishing, started out with meeting Capt Matt and First Mate Frank and the boat Matt's Cat, who talked us through what to expect. Can tell both were very experienced with deep sea fishing. Great memories with my family fishing for the first time in the ocean. Ended up catching a hand full of Barracuda's, two Mahi-Mahi, and a 40 pound Wahoo. Will always remember this trip and highly recommend to anyone wanting to fish while in Puerto Rico.
