    Perfect morning fishing trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 22, 2024 • 2 adults

    My boyfriend and I booked the half day morning trip and had a great time! Captain Antonio was friendly and knowledgeable. We are beginner fishers and he took us right out to where the fish were and we caught some right away. We caught some jack and groupers and he even let my boyfriend take many tries go (almost) catch some tarpon. Cleaned the fish and suggested a restaurant for us to have them cooked. Even went the extra mile to suggest some activities for us to do while visiting Puerto Rico. Great morning.
