    Great trip with the Captains

    8 Hour Trip Pelagic Fishing • 2 adults

    We went out targeting blue marlin. From the outset both Captains were friendly, hardworking, and obviously very competent. We trolled the grounds, spotting and chasing birds, which was fun in and of itself. After a few hours, we finally got lucky with a yellowfin tuna. Shortly after that, we locked on to a beautiful white marlin. He was about 30 yards behind the boat and made a perfect jump. After reeling a few moments, he spit the hook....but that's marlin fishing. After we got back, the Captain cleaned the tuna and we got the hotel chef to make us sashimi, the perfect ending.

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you! Appreciate the kind words about us. raising a white marlin that close to the boat, and finishing with fresh yellowfin tuna - that's a great day even when the marlin wins. That's marlin fishing! Hope to get you that blue next time. 🎣🇵🇷

    Captain Luis and his first mate are incredible

    6 Hour Trip offshore Pelagic • 1 adult

    I did the 6 hour deep sea fishing trip with Captain Luis and his first mate. It was an absolutely incredible trip. Within the first 90 minutes we brought in 2 mahi mahi, one of them being 40 pounds. Throughout the process they were so educated on any question I had about fishing or Puerto Rico in general. After the mahi, we hooked tons of tuna. At one point we had a 100 pound tuna that a shark decided to steal after an hour battle. In total, 2 mahi, one being massive 40 pounder and then 3 smaller tuna but incredible fights. They fileted the fish for me with captain Luis’ father educating me on even more. I took home a combined 20 pounds of mahi and tuna. captain luis makes sure to get you pictures of the increible views and especially with your great catch that he will take you too. Incredible charter that I will be back for. Thank you so much pier 10 and especially captain luis and his first mate!!!!

    Amazing time

    6 Hour Trip offshore Pelagic • 3 adults

    We had an awesome time on our fishing trip this morning! The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe from start to finish. The kids had an absolute blast, learned a lot about fishing, and stayed engaged the whole trip. We were lucky enough to land some beautiful mahi-mahi, which made the experience even more memorable. You can tell the captain truly enjoys what he does and works hard to make sure everyone has a great time. We’ll definitely be booking another trip the next time we’re back. Highly recommend!

    plenty of fish in the sea

    4 Hour Trip Offshore Pelagic - 1:00 PM • 4 adults

    We had a wonderful experience with Jose and Irving! Great communication, the Marina is in a great spot with amazing views of Old San Juan as we head out to sea. The boat is immaculate and well prepared for the best fishing. Plenty of cold drinks and just a great vibe. They are knowledgeable and safety was always a priority. One of the best fishing experiences for our family. We caught beautiful mahi and enjoyed them for dinner! Will be back to sea with Jose and Irving again when on the island! Highly recommended.

    Great time, crew was awesome!

    6 Hour Trip offshore Pelagic • 4 adults

    While on a Caribbean cruise we booked a 6 hour trip with Pier 10. Captain Luis was more than accommodating as our curise was late to dock. Went out to try to catch some tuna, but it just wasn’t our day. Both my son and I got sea sick on the first run and were not feeling well. The captain suggested to move into the bay and do some bottom fishing. It was much smoother in the bay and we finished our trip having a good time. We didn’t end up catching any fish, but we still had a great time and would do it again! Thank you to Captain Luis and 1st mate We. We had a good time and will book again when we get back to PR!

    We had a great time. Capt and his mate worked hard to find fish and he did exactly that. They were great with my son. I would fish with them again. Boat and gear was good. Thanks for a great day!
