Double Hook Charters 

4.5/5 (349 reviews)
 Road 187, San Juan, Puerto Rico

Double Hook is a 37’ vessel equipped with diesel engines, with a maximum capacity of 6 fishermen. The boat is air-conditioned and outfitted with a full head, and comes equipped with a standard range of navigational electronics. Double Hook is a tournament-ready vessel complete with a fighting chair on board, ready for any fish that won’t give up without a fight.

Captain Humberto and his crew of Double Hook Charters, specialize in big game fishing for a range of species that Puerto Rico is known for around the world. Some of the species the offshore waters of Puerto Rico are abundant with include Billfish (both Blue and White Marlin, as well as Sailfish), Tuna, Dorado, Wahoo, Kingfish and many others.

The fishing grounds are located just 15 minutes away from the docks, where you are likely to come across many of the species mentioned above. All tackle and artificial bait are provided by the crew, with a wide selection of 20# to 130# Penn International reels on board to choose from. Snacks, bottled water and soft drinks are provided, along with a cooler with ice. Furthermore, Captain Humberto will cover the fishing licenses for all anglers fishing aboard Double Hook at no additional cost.

The waters he fish are some of the deepest in the Atlantic ocean! On days the fish are not biting, Capt. Humberto will not only move around to find better places, but will also stay longer on the trip free of charge if he thinks he can get something to bite. He will do everything in his power to get you on the fish in these water, which have a reputation for being unpredictable, as they are filled with migratory fish.

Everyone is welcome aboard- Capt. Humberto will show all novices the ropes and make sure you have a great first fishing experience. He recommends you begin your fishing journey on a 4 hour trip - in no time you’ll be fishing the deep on full day trips! Experienced anglers have the 12 hour trip to get far out and fish deep. There is something for everyone!

Epic Battles

VERIFIED

Full Day Trip on September 21, 2024

Captian Humbro's exstensive knowledge led us on a epic Journey. Victor the 1st mate was on point all day and kept the action going. 375 pound + Marlin landed, 1 hour 15 minute battle and backed it up with several world class Mahi's The boat was very comfortable with plenty of shade, A/c to cool off and nice head if needed. Book it , these guys know what they are doing. They call it fishing, not catching- but they put us all up in em.... Arms so tired had to drink my celebratory beers with both hands on the way in, epic day. Thank you El capitan and Victor truly a world class experience

3/4 Day Trip on January 8, 2025

It was a beautiful day and captain Humberto put us on the fish!! We caught a barracuda, four mahi mahi and a huge white marlin. First mate Eduardo was amazing, we were hooked up to four fish at one time and he kept his cool. He managed to keep us all untangled and we landed all of them. I would highly recommend Double Hook for anyone looking for an amazing fishing trip!

Nothing bad to say about either the boat or the fishery. We caught half dozen tuna and mahi mahi - well with the experience. Would definitely fish again with this boat, captain and first mate.

3/4 Day Trip on March 19, 2025

Went with my family on this for 6 hr trip. Got three bites in first hour and a half (son reeled In a decent barracuda). Went dry after that. Seas were a bit rough for my wife (should have left her at home haha! Hope she doesn’t read this) so we called it 1.5 hrs early. Boat is great, captain and crew were nice. Recommend them.

3/4 Day Trip on February 23, 2025

We left on time the boat was immaculate and all the bait organized. The cruise out was very tricky getting into the open water and Capt Humberto did an awesome job experienced & safe. First mate Jose was fantastic all day. We caught a lot of fish ! We would go back for sure !
