If you're ready to start fishing the waters off San Juan, Carolina and Loiza we've got you covered with Extreme Fishing Puerto Rico. With Captain Juan Carlos Torruella at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide with over 40 years of fishing the waters of Puerto Rico. In 2013 Capt.

    Must do fishing trip- DON’T MISS OUT!

    4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM) on July 5, 2026 • 3 adults

    We had an excellent time with Extreme Fishing PR! I booked this trip after reading all the amazing reviews, and Juan Carlos absolutely lived up to them. Communication from the start was excellent, and he helped us choose the best fishing trip based on the current water conditions. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, making the entire experience enjoyable from beginning to end. This trip was actually a birthday gift, and I was just tagging along. As a first-time fisher, I was a little nervous, but Juan Carlos made me feel completely comfortable. He coached me through the process, and helped me reel in my very first catch… a king mackerel! It was an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a knowledgeable guide who truly wants you to have a great time, I highly recommend Extreme Fishing PR. We can't wait to come back!

    Wanted big fish, and got big fish.

    4 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing (AM) on December 16, 2025 • 3 adults

    Surprised my husband with this one. We have a boat and fish often but live nowhere close to the ocean. I told Captain Michael exactly what i was wanting. I was looking for size not quantity. It started off a little slow but thats fishing. Captain Michael was doing his best. Then it happened you hear the screaming of the drag. I told my husband to go first knowing we was not going to catch alot. He hooked into a nice fish barracuda, about 4ft. Then we lost a few. Then it was my time. We had seen a tuna jump and Captain Micheal did what he does. He put us on the spot and the next thing we know drag is screaming. I was up. This fish put up a fight. At one point I thought I wasnt going to have the strength to get him in. My arm was tired and weak. Captain Michael kept telling me I had it. He never touch or tried to take my pole. I paid for this fight and he was going to make sure I got it. I ended up with a 35 pd Tuna that looks bigger than me in pictures. Biggest fish of my life, so far. Had a great time out fished my husband again lol and have some great memories. Lifes short do the trip.

    This was such a fun day!! We caught fish almost immediately. We even hooked onto a shark that took all my strength and my husband had to finish it for me. Captain Juan Carlos is simply the best!! He has great communication, very knowledgeable about fishing and the island, and was super encouraging. He fillet some of the fish we caught when we got back, it’s gonna make some yummy ceviche! Thank you!

Capt. Juan Carlos runs fishing trips out of San Juan aboard a 26' TwinVee Catamaran EL FLAKO. These waters are known for great bluewater fishing for marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo and mahi mahi. Off the reefs kingfish, blackfin tuna and snappers are targeted. Inshore tarpon are caught year round in our backcountry waters. Capt. Juan will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling, live baiting or jigging. With extensive knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water! Capt. Juan was voted by Salt Water Sportsman magazine as one top 50 charter captains in the world in 2013. He has over 40 years of experience fishing these waters!

    To start the day, he was rude when we asked to go to the restroom prior to the day starting “Don’t you people use the restroom in your hotel”. Doesn’t explain anything to you about the plan for the day, just get on the boat. Got to the first spot, doesn’t say anything just puts lines in the water and we sit. Just felt like there should have been better communication along the way and a more customer friendly attitude. He’s a great guide, his boat is loaded and you can tell he knows his stuff but not the most personal and it affected my experience.

    Captain Juan's experience really paid off on my trip. The offshore fishing conditions were difficult, with many scattered weeds in the water this day. Captain Juan switched strategies and we found a big weed line and trolled the edge, catching multiple nice mahi. Then we fished some structure Captain Juan knew about, and caught yellowfin tuna. His experience really paid off on what otherwise might have been a tough day!

    We caught a huge Barracuda and a Tarpin, cross off a couple of bucket list catches. Juan Carlos was as skilled as they come and takes care of you! Also mindful of weather and your safety!!! Anybody would love this experience. Weather changes on a dime in Peurto Rico but it paid to stick with a captain who cares about you.
