My 2 daughters and I spent the last 3 days catching tarpon with Captain Rafael Vega. We landed 20 tarpon and a snook. Many many more got hooked but were not brought in. Rafael’s knowledge and ability are second to none. He went above and beyond consistently to make sure we were in fish.  Simply put he’s the BEST. We had a great trip!  We can’t wait to fish with him again!  I don’t hesitate to give him the highest possible review.

Capt. Rafael was one of the kindest souls we encountered on our Puerto Rico trip. We arrived before sunup (make sure you pee before you go to the yacht club & bring bug spray and sunscreen). The trip overall was amazing. The water was serene and there were fish everywhere. Capt. Rafael never sat down. He was moving to a new location, recasting a fishing rod, chumming the water, something. He kept the boat immaculate, always cleaning and wiping things down. Our first two hours were a little quiet, but I thoroughly enjoyed the scenary, and the last few hours were amazing. Seemed like a ling was always singing. We pulled 3 good sized fish onto the boat. Capt. Rafael was extremely professional and efficient in getting them reeled in, on the boat and ultimately back in the water. We even lost a few along the way and he was confident we could get one more before our trip was over, so he was generous enough to stay out on the water to get one more on the boat, lucky 3! This was 30 more minutes than our scheduled time but he was so kind and patient. This experience made our trip and was my BF’s favorite part of the whole vacation. We’ve repeatedly looked at the pics, he and wants to go back to Capt. Rafael the next time we are in town. Can’t say enough good things, book the trip!

Rafa is an excellent guide! He is knowledgeable, professional, courteous, personable, humorous, patient, and helpful. He knows how to find and catch fish—and that’s the point. He is also a good teacher for those of us who like to fish but don’t know how.

The captain is very professional and friendly. I was a man of few words on the day and he respected that. The fishing was slow and we had to earn every bite. In the end i was able to add three species to my list of fish caught including 2 silver kings (Tarpon). They were small ones but thats ok. We saw more than a few monsters but the big ones werent eating.

I also caught a reef shark and a cero mackerel when we went out to the beach for an hour or so.

All in all it was a really good trip and i would definitely recommend Captain Rafa and Go Tarpon PR to anyone.

The captain was extremely on time, helpful, knowledgeable, and funny. He helped my wife and I bait, pull in, and catch tarpon. He even took pictures of us with the fish after he’d help us get them in the boat. Would recommend to anyone!
