I took my husband on Captain “Pepe’s” half day morning charter for his birthday and our expectations were beyond exceeded. Before boarding, we were thoroughly walked through safety etc and told that this is a fishing, not catching charter so there’s no guaranteed to catch BUT they will give 300% effort to always catch….and they did just that!

Our first fish was a Mahi and they spent almost a full hour chasing the Mahi to make sure he’d bite…and he did!

My husband went on to catch 3 more fish the whole day, one we almost lost to a 500lb shark, but managed to snatch up!

Overall, the day was beautiful; we felt safe, had so much fun, caught more than we ever expected, and had a BLAST!!!

Thanks to Captain and first mate, Manuel for one of the best days ever!

*note: both my husband and I are well versed on the seas and we both got QUITE nauseous so don’t forget to prepare for that!*

We WILL be back to fish with them next time we’re here 🤍

Things started out a little slow (traffic) on our end, but after an hour out and 4500 feet deep water later we were on the Mahi Mahi! Captain Pepe and Skipper Manuel were awesome! Very very helpful, engaging, and knowledgeable in off shore fishing. We all got a chance to reel in a fish and even hooked a couple yellow fin tuna on the ride back. All in all it was a great day and made some great memories. Afterwards we had a few fillets packed up and brought them over to the restaurant onsite where they cooked us a spread to remember!  One thing Pepe will stress from the beginning is that this is fishing, not catching! But he did say he would bet on himself to put us on the fish, and he did! 100% recommended and would do it again if I were to come back Puerto Rico.

The best experience. Are you guaranteed a catch, no. But when you have a catch, they are there to help you bring it in. I was lucky to bring in a Blue Marlin, one of the greatest experiences ever. Thank you captain and your mate, for helping me in that fight, and it was a fight. I will be back next year. Great time…..!!!! Even if no fish, the time out on the sea is spectacular, to see the maneuvering and the blue waters ,for my wife and I, can’t go wrong.We Loved It. Thank You

Captain Pepe is excellent about communicating. He messaged me several times before the trip to make sure things were on track and he always responded quickly to my questions. He and 1st mate, Nate, really want you to have a positive experience but you need to have realistic expectations. Do some research about whats in season on different sides of the island. This trip was added on to a family vacation that had to be taken in June. If we were booking a trio just to fish, we would have come in the winter. We went out knowing we might not even get a bite. BUT… as soon as we got out to where the captain thought the fish might be, my 17yr old son immediately got a 44lb yellow fin tuna! We got fish on double lines twice and ended up with 3 yellow fins and 2 black fins.  Back at the dock, they quickly filleted and bagged 2 of the fish for us to take home. It was quite a spectacle as the marina tarpon fought over the discarded pieces. This was my son’s first deep sea trip and I am so thankful to Captain Pepe and Nate for making it a good one.

Captain Pepe and first Mate Nate worked tirelessly for several hours to find us a fish . With the recent moon phase and weather the fish weren’t hungry.  This didn’t stop the captain from taking us out further to try and get something.  When the Blue Marlin hit you heard the line screaming out of the reel fast.  It took 25 minutes and four of us not including the hard work Nate put into getting this monster to the boat.  It exhausted our entire group getting it in that we went back for a couple hour nap. Would highly recommend this Captain and first mate.  Remember it is fishing not farming, so if for any reason you are not fortunate as we were today don’t be angry enjoy the experience on the water and the hard work they put in during the experience🐠👍🏻
