3/4 Day Trip
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
I came all the way from California, and I've been on plenty of fishing trips before—but nothing compares to this one! Captain Jose "Pepe" and his mate Manuel were incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, fun, and beyond helpful. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt truly appreciated, and that made all the difference. They worked so hard to give us the experience of a lifetime, and they absolutely delivered. It was clear how much they cared about making sure we had a great time. We're so grateful for their service—it's something my family and I will never forget. Thank you, Jose, for also cleaning and cutting the fish for us. We're enjoying it tonight at the restaurant you recommended, and it's absolutely delicious! Can't wait to come back and do it all again. Highly, highly recommended!

Half Day Trip (AM)
Rough seas and no bites at first, but then BAM! What an experience! We told Captain Pepe that we were looking for dinner. So his crew member, Manny, set our tackle up appropriately for Mahi-Mahi and tuna. First catch was a blue marlin, something we were not expecting. What a surprise and an experience to catch something like that. Right after that we caught a decent Mahi and a couple of yellowfin tuna. Really excited that I got to share this experience with my kid. Highly recommended. I will be connecting with Blue Water Fishing PR when we come back. Check out their Facebook and reviews to see all the catches.

Visiting Puerto Rico for the first time. We had great luck using fishingbooker to connect with Captain Pepe and his first mate Manny. We had the greatest luck on the only nice day of the weekend (May 4). I'm an experienced charter captain out of Duxbury MA and seek out similar qualities to my charters. A short trip out to blue water for a 4-hour charter, resulted in plenty of mahi mahi at a time where no one was catching fish in the previous days. Upon our return, Captain Pepe nicely filleted the fish and we took a filet with his recommendation to the new reef restaurant a short walk away from the marina. We highly recommend Captain Pepe putting us on fish and knowing exactly where to go. And I recommend the mushroom sauce over mahi fillet. An outstanding combination of great fishing and a great meal.

We came to Puerto Rico for a birthday fishing experience we only dreamed about. Capt Pepe and Manuel did not let us down. From being super down to earth to an extremely ready professional fishing team. My wife's dream was to catch a Dorado and the Capt did everything in his power to make it happen and we did. He not only cleaned the fish and packaged what we asked for but made a call to a local restaurant owner and set us up with the best location to enjoy our fresh catch. We will be back and I will never have to look for another Capt in Puerto Rico again!!
