    Excellent Trip with a Great & Friendly Captain Francisco

    3/4 Day on August 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    Although the day was not crazy packed with action Capt. Francisco still managed to put us on 2 great size fish! (Mahi & Mackerel) We did a 3/4 day trip and had a blast! His expertise and knowledge of the fishery was impressive, only to be matched by his friendliness & welcoming vibes! Thank you Capt. hope all of your future trips can be as fun & peaceful as ours!

    we took this trip as a garduation gift for our son. he had a great time and he caught a barracuda and a huge Mahi! He had so much fun reeling it in. Captain Fransisco was great. He is extremely good at his job and his boat is beautiful. He was very friendly and worked so hard to catch fish. i would highly recommend this charter.

    Friendly captain

    Half Day Deep Sea on March 30, 2026 • 6 adults

    Despite rough weather beyond our captains control, he was friendly, professional, super helpful and everything was as stated. Captain was knowledgeable about the ocean and fishing. If we make it back to San Juan we would definitely use him again!

    sailfish

    3/4 Day on December 27, 2025 • 3 adults

    We had a good day. started out with a big marlin breaking our line then we landed a nice sized mahi. It was a slow bite kind of day but at the end of our 3/4 day we hooked up with a beautiful sailfish. The sailfish was definitely the highlight of the trip.

    Experiencia brutal!! 10/10!! Highly recommend!

    3/4 Day on October 18, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    I booked this deep sea trip for myself and my 13 year old son who absolutely loves fishing. We had the best time. Francisco was amazing! We caught a bunch of Mahi Mahi.. it was a great experience and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in deep sea fishing in the San Juan area. Reservé este viaje al mar profundo para mí y mi hijo de 13 años, al que le encanta pescar. Lo pasamos brutal! Francisco es excelente capitán! Atrapamos un montón de Mahi Mahi... fue una gran experiencia y lo recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquier persona interesada en la pesca en alta mar en el área de San Juan.

    Windy!

    3/4 Day on January 24, 2025 • 2 adults

    We had originally scheduled for 3/4 day Friday. When we arrived Friday morning Francisco did tell us that it was very windy. We are from the Great Lakes and are used to choppy water. We went out anyway. Francisco did an AMAZING job of navigating the water and still managed to put us on some fish. We landed a small mahi. I decided to pull in at a half day and go back out the next day when the weather was better. Saturday was BEAUTIFUL. Francisco worked hard for us and put us on a small black fin. Overall we had a blast. Few things I recommend, don’t eat breakfast. Bring some crackers or something to snack on. Francisco is quiet but very nice and intelligent! Ask him anything you’re wondering about! He really was great, safe, honest, and worked HARD to make sure we had a good time. We will definitely see him again.
