Extreme Fishing Puerto Rico
Extreme Fishing Puerto Rico
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. Juan was voted in Salt Water Sportsman magazine as one of the Top 50 charter captains in the world.
Inshore he targets Tarpon and Snook at La Torrecilla and San Jose lagoons.
Off the reefs, he targets Kingfish, Cero Mackerel, Snappers, Barracuda, and Jacks.
Offshore he targets Blue and White Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna.
During the trips you might be live baiting, dead baiting, spin fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Juan Carlos also offers fly fishing trips and has all of the fly fishing equipment necessary for his customers.
Capt. Juan Carlos believes in teaching kids to fish while they’re young, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, Capt. Juan has them for you. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Your vessel for the day for reef or offshore fishing is a 26’ TwinVee Catamaran center console with space for up to 4 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. All bait and tackle are included. Your vessel for the tarpon fishing is center console 20’ Twin Vee catamaran.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by Extreme Fishing PR.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Water and sodas are included. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in San Juan, Carolina and Loiza for yourself, with Extreme Fishing Puerto Rico!

4 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing (AM)
Best deep sea experience
Caught my first Wahoo with a jig!! Also caught a mahi, king mackerel and a tuna which I got to eat by the beach after the trip. Juan definitely is one hell of a fisherman! 29 years of experience definitely SHOWS. Knowing his techniques, spots and knowledge to share this with others is something to learn from. Definitely highlight of my trip :)

April fishing trip
I booked a reef fishing trip for my in laws while I was on a different charter for tarpon. They had an absolute blast and caught some great fish. The captain was very professional and friendly and willing to do whatever he could to put them on fish. The best part, after the trip he cleaned the fish they caught and brought them up to his marina restaurant for them to cook up for lunch for us and it was delicious! Would highly recommend and definitely plan on booking again!

4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM)
Amazing day!!!
Captain Juan was amazing, had us on fish almost instantly! This was a honeymoon trip and my wife came along also, Captain Juan was very helpful with my wife getting her hooked up to fish and letting her join in on the fun which made the day even more enjoyable. Would book him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone I know coming to Puerto Rico. He was very knowledgeable answered any questions we had and was very cordial. Booked last minute and he was very responsive to our messages through the app 10/10 ...would give a rating higher than 5 stars if I could, he is also fluent in english and spanish

6 Hour Trip – Tarpon
Tarpon fishing
This captain has over 30 years experience which made our trip awesome. He uses different technics to target the fish, so you have the best chance to catch Tarpon. These fish are not easy to catch, and you want someone like Carlos to get you tight on the fish. The biggest one we caught was around 80lbs and gave me the best fight I've ever had. I think we caught 6 but I honestly lost count. I highly recommend Carlos!!
