    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!

    great fishing trip

    3/4 Day Trip on October 26, 2026 • 5 adults

    Enjoyed the morning with Captain Pepe and his mate Christopher. Hooked both a blue marlin and sailfish that were too smart for us. We did teal in two tuna that the captain filleted and we ate some right on the dock. Captain didnt mind coming in early as we had a few with us that didn’t tolerate the deep water well. If we do another charter I will be going with them again!

    Full Day Trip on November 7, 2026 • 6 adults

    We had an absolutely awesome trip with blue water fishing charter, we caught mahi, skipjack tunas, wahoo, and some barracuda. The Captain and mate were very professional but also very personable and great people. We will definitely be booking with these guys again, we had an awesome trip and loved the whole process.

    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

    Pepe knows what he's doing!!

    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!

    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.

    great day on the water and fresh tuna for dinner

    3/4 Day Trip on October 1, 2026 • 1 adult

    It was a challenging day, but Capt Jose chased down some tuna and got one to bite. We shared some freshly cleaned tuna sashimi at the dock and talked about best times to catch other fish in the area. I'll be back and will go back out with Capt Jose again. Highly recommended.

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.

    Had a great day out fishing. Boat was ready when we arrived and we even left early. We were on the fish within 30-45min of leaving the dock. We had an early frenzy of Mahi with 3 caught, 1 that got away right at the boat then several misses when they got the bait but didn’t take the hook. Ended the day with 4 total Mahi Mahi. Once we were done the captain fillet the fish and we took it to the restaurant and they turned it into a fantastic meal for four. Overall great experience for my family.
