    Amazing Tarpon Fishing Experience With Captain Javier!

    4 Hour Light Tackle Trip on June 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Javier gave us an amazing fishing experience from start to finish! My husband and I both caught beautiful tarpon, and I landed my very first one—a memory I’ll never forget. Captain Javier was friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to find the fish and made sure we had a successful and fun day on the water. The boat was clean, the scenery was beautiful, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. If you’re looking for an unforgettable tarpon fishing trip in Puerto Rico, I highly recommend Captain Javier. We can’t wait to fish with him again!

    Put us on Fish

    4 Hour Light Tackle Trip (PM) on February 23, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Santiago Javier took my 5 year old son and I out. He was patient, on time and knowledgeable about the area. He asked if we wanted to leave an hour later to time the better bite, and left it up to us. There were several other boats out and I didn't them land or fight a fish. Even on a tough day for everyone else, we were able to hook into 6 tarpon over 4 hours and put a couple in the boat. Definitely recommend.

    Best Tarpon guide in PR!

    6 Hour Light Tackle Trip on July 16, 2026 • 1 adult

    I’ve fished w a lot of guides and Capt Javier is best in class. He works hard changing tactics and locations to keep you on the fish. Taught me a ton about Tarpon fishing. I wouldn’t book another tarpon guide in PR.

    4 Hour Light Tackle Trip on March 17, 2026 • 2 adults

    aptain Javier Santiago Aldrey is as good as guide you could ever ask for. He spoke excellent English so it was very easy to communicate. He was extremely knowledgeable and a very skilled fisherman. We landed 5 good sized Tarpon, and I lost another 3. Tons of action and it was an absolute pleasure speaking with Javier during the trip. A++ highly recommend!

    Great trip with kids

    4 Hour Light Tackle Trip on May 2, 2025 • 2 adults

    This fishing trip was the highlight of our trip. We had planned time in the rainforest, but heavy rains and flash flooding ruined our plans. We booked this last minute because the trip stayed in the lagoons and would be easier for kids to fish. This is the perfect way to expose your young kids to saltwater fishing without worrying about sea sickness or big fish they cannot land. Our guide expertly put us on young tarpon, despite unfavorable tide conditions. We landed several nice juveniles before looking for some bigger fish. The guide knew the area well, was friendly, and was great at explaining the technique to my daughter. I would strongly suggest this trip if you have any children who want to experience saltwater or larger fish for the first time.

Awesome trip!!
4 Hour Light Tackle Trip on June 11, 2026 • 2 adults

My son and I had a great morning on the water with Capt. Javier. He recommended starting at 5:30 AM to improve our chances, caught fresh bait, and worked hard the entire trip to keep us on fish. We ended up hooking 7 tarpon and landing 3, including one that was too big to bring into the boat. The ones we lost were on us, not the captain. Tarpon fishing isn't easy, but Capt. Javier put us in the right places and gave us every opportunity to be successful. The highlight of the trip was watching my son catch and release his tarpon. Those are memories we'll never forget. If you're looking for a knowledgeable guide who works hard and knows how to put clients on fish, I highly recommend Capt. Javier. We'll definitely fish with him again the next time we're in Puerto Rico. Gilberto
