Book your next trip with Shejara Sportfishing and find out what the fishing in Guanajibo is all about. With Captain Rafael at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters hold game fish like Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, White Marlin, Blue Marlin, Great Barracuda, Bonefish, Snook, Tarpon, Permit, Caribbean Queen Snapper, Snapper (Blackfin), and more, depending on the season. You may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Rafael also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Capt. Rafael operates a 23' SeaCraft center console with space for 4 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. Capt. Rafael will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Lunch is provided, just reach out to learn more, especially if you have any dietary needs.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
3 Hours Sunset Reef Fishing Trip on January 7, 20262 adults2 children
We did the 3 hour sunset excursion with Captain Raphael and it was more than I'd hoped for! I was able to help my children reel in a large Mackerel (~5 lbs), a mini Tuna (~ 7 lbs), several varieties of large Snapper, Lizard Fish, and good sized a Jack fish too The sunset was amazing and the trip out to the reef was only about 15 minutes and we had lines down. When we got back to the docks there were huge Tarpon cleaning up the guts he was tossing in the water. He asked me if I wanted to try and hook one of them; of course I said yes. He spent another 20 minutes of his time trying to help me get one of those clever fish. It didn't happen, but there were many powerful and exciting hits which ended in them getting off the hook. Better luck next time! Captain Raphael is a generous man with a solid knowledge of the area he fishes. Highly recommend!

My son and father had an amazing time on this fishing trip! The Captain is incredibly hard-working, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. He kept everything running smoothly while making sure everyone was having fun and happy. The trip was well organized (good pre-excursion communication), relaxed, and full of great moments. Highly recommend -- top-notch captain! Thank you!
