Captain Rafa is hands down the best. From beginning to end - he’s on it. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He helped us bait, and bring the tarpon onto the boat! Would recommend this trip for beginners as well as avid fishermen. We booked a 4-hr morning trip for the last day of our vacation. It was an incredible experience to be tarpon fishing in a lagoon before sunrise! GRACIAS, Capt Rafa! We will be back! Pedro & AureliaCaptain Rafa is hands down the best. From... More

Booked a fishing charter and thats exactly what we did…we fished. Oh and we caught fish too. Capt. had us on fish all day but they were very finicky on what they wanted. Missed several due to being overanxious and had several spit the hooks after some great aerial shows. Boated one fish but again we came to fish and catching was a bonus.

Our fishing experience with Captain Rafa exceeded all our expectations. Even though the fish were being stubborn, Captain Rafa and stuck with it and made sure we got a catch. Bonus National Geographic moments included watching iguanas fall out of trees and a freeloading pair of pelicans whose antics won occasional bait treats from the Captain.

Capt. Rafe was awesome and knows these waters like the back of his hand. He got us in the best spots and we caught a good amount of Tarpon on a day when other boats did not. Capt. Rafe was very helpful with fishing tips and made great conversation. If catching tarpon is on you bucket list and you want to see all the great bays in San Juan, go with Capt. Rafe!
