Wahoo, Kingfish, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Yellowtail Snapper, Mahi Mahi, and more are in the cards if conditions are right.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Fantastic Charter Captain and Crew Puerto Rico
Full day Trip (5-6 MAX) on December 26, 20256 adults
Makaira Charters delivered a fantastic adventure for our entire family. Our family decided to chip in for a fishing experience over the holidays. We are so glad we chose Captain Pepi and Jose for our outing. His Contender fishing platform was in top shape and was totally comfortable for our party of 6. Captain Pepi customized our trip to include trolling for Wahoo and Mahi, as well as free lining for Tuna. We learn valuable lessons about fishing off of Rincon and we caught Wahoo and hooked a nice Sailfish that ultimately threw the hook- but great fun nonetheless. Our family is already planning our next trip with Makaira Charters. It was easily one of our best trips out into blue water we have experienced. Thanks again- The Prichards

Rough day ended up sucessful
Half Day Charter (4 People MAX) on April 3, 20264 adults
Capt. Pepi was wonderful. We started the morning catching live bait then headed offshore. Bite was slow but put a few in the cooler. Decided to head inshore to find a little more action and on our way in found a weed line holding some mahi and we hooked up quick! Got a few in the boat and headed home. they recommended a few restaurants to bring our fish to as well as some other good spots to check out. Very knowledgeable about where to fish and how to target. definitely will be hitting them up next time we're in town.

Excellent charter
Half Day Charter (4 People MAX) on January 20, 20264 adults
Captain Pepe and Jose were incredible! It was windy so they suggested we fish closer to shore instead of offshore. Caught yellowtail and cero mackerel that they cleaned and made a suggestion to take to Harbor restaurant to cook for us. Fish was delicious and we had an excellent time in the boat. Well equipped and knowledgeable crew, highly recommend!

Full day Trip (5-6 MAX) on August 3, 20256 adults
This was an amazing fishing trip! Captain Pepi and Jose were knowledgable and helpful to our crew, most of whom never fished on a boat before. They knew where all the fishing holes were. We caught king mackerel and black fin tuna. They even recommended a restaurant that cooked some of the fish for lunch-there was more fish than we could even eat. Highly recommend them! 10/10!! Thanks again for a very cool experience!
