    Bucket List fishing Day ! ! !

    3/4 Day Trip on August 8, 2026 • 3 adults

    Incredible experience! These guys wore us out catching trophy fish. Shortly over an hour into the trip we locked onto a 200lb Blue Marlin! My son’s girlfriend (ladies first) cranked her life away on our first “fish-on”. She has not stopped talking about it. I caught a 70+ Yelllowfin Tuna and the fine folls at the Cangrejos Yacht Club at the Marina prepared and served up 3lbs of Tartare for us and provided sides and drinks after our day out. It was the most amazing day!!! We are trying to plan another trip soon. Captain and Frist Mate were exceptional! Thank you both!

    Successful trip even in choppy sea

    3/4 Day Trip on March 5, 2026 • 6 adults

    We set out knowing the sea was going to be 6-8 ft. But the boat was able to handle it with no problem and never felt unsafe. We agreed to cut the trip short, just in case the forecast changed. The Captain was completely in control at all times and made the trip as pleasant as he could. He was also very knowledgeable of the fishing area and fish patterns. He was able to spot a seaweed trail and followed it until we hooked a nice size Mahi. Made my brother's birthday worth the trip. Captain Jose was awesome as well as his deckhand Cristian who took great care of us and helped us with the rigs. Will definitely book again. Hopefully very soon!

    Bucket list fishing trip completed!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on January 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    We went out with near perfect conditions. The Captain was very knowledgeable, he took time to let us know what we needed to know about the boat. He let us know that he would try his best to get us a catch, and that he did! With in the first hour we caught a good size wahoo and quickly after that another! The temperature became too much and we decided to head back in a bit early to which the captain obliged. When we were reeling in for the last time we had hooked Mahi Mahi that got off the last second but it got close enough for us to see the brilliant blue and green colors. To top off this trip the captains pointed out a whale we were able to see a Humpback whale breach the water. 10/10 recommend Captain Pepe

    Great day of fishing with Capt Pepe & Manny

    3/4 Day Trip on October 2, 2025 • 2 adults

    We did 2 days back to back with Capt Pepe and Manny. We switched days due to bad weather coming up for the weekend. Capt Pepe was very quick to communicate and called me before we flew to Puerto Rico. He explained what the weather and wave conditions were going to be so we agreed to move the day. The first day out we got blanked and no fish, but was still a beautiful day on the water. Capt Pepe and Manny did their best and Manny was great in explaining all about his gear and how things were setup. He’s hands down the best first mate we’ve ever had on a charter. Day 2 was much better. Within 30 minutes out on the water, we hooked a barracuda. We ended the day with 2 mahi mahi, 1 tuna, saw 2 sailfish (they were fat, dumb, and happy so no bites), and hooked a marlin which got away. Capt Pepe was an expert in cleaning the fish and gave a great recommendation for a recipe for the tuna. Overall, a great 2 days on the water - great Captain and First Mate! Looking forward to coming back again in the future!

    3/4 Day Trip on August 22, 2026 • 6 adults

    came out hoping for a good fishing experience, and Captain Pepe and his 1st mate Chris were consummate professionals. They worked tirelessly all morning and put us on some fish!! Too much honestly. We had to give half of it away! Pepe is the man. Knowledgeable, professional and very approachable. Just a great guy. he made the whole experience that much better. We're already planning for the next trip!

    Thanks for the memorable trip.

    3/4 Day Trip on April 28, 2026 • 6 adults

    We trolled for most pelagic species. We lucked into a Beautiful White Marlin, and several less desired species. Capt and Mate worked to put us on fish. We did well with the pre-prepared dead bait, but that didn't last for our 3/4 day trip. Not all trips are fire, but our Capt and mate did their best. The White Marlin is a prized Trophy catch, and our group will remember that forever. Salut'

    Great birthday weekend with my boys

    Half Day Trip (AM) on December 13, 2025 • 5 adults

    Did a AM morning fishing trip, hooked onto the first mahi mahi within the first hour, 30 min later my buddy caught a nice tuna thanks to the sharp eye of captain Pepe seeing them feeding off in the distance, about a hour later my brother hooked onto a big mahi mahi and we ended up landing every fish and was an awesome early birthday present. Pepe and his first mate were very efficient straight forward and too the point, my kind of people. Highly recommend giving it a chance if it’s your first time or experienced.

    Awesome from start to finish

    3/4 Day Trip on July 27, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Captain Pepe was a wizard and his mate was a stud. He got us on the Mahi Mahi and never stopped trying new spots, switching bait and making the experience the best he possibly could.we had 3 young Children and he made it so enjoyable for them. If I could I would give him more then 5 stars if I could.

    Captain Pepe salvaged a great day on a tough weather situation.

    3/4 Day Trip on October 21, 2025 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Captain Pepe did a great job today. We had very big waves and a lot of wind. My nine-year-old son was feeling woozy and Captain Pepe was very accommodating on trying to find somewhere where he felt better or even willing to take him back. Having said that even under tough conditions, we caught mahi, barracuda, and even hooked up on a sailfish! Was a great trip really appreciated Captain Pepe and his first mate Manny.

I have spent my whole life on and around the Atlantic Ocean. When I was young I used to spend most of my free time surfing. I then started spearfishing, and finally trolling for Dolphin. Fishing is what I like to do most in my life. Now, my favorite technique is trolling with artificial lures for White and Blue Marlin. We may also catch Wahoo, Dolphin, King Mackerel, and Sailfish.
