The captain is very professional and friendly. I was a man of few words on the day and he respected that. The fishing was slow and we had to earn every bite. In the end i was able to add three species to my list of fish caught including 2 silver kings (Tarpon). They were small ones but thats ok. We saw more than a few monsters but the big ones werent eating. I also caught a reef shark and a cero mackerel when we went out to the beach for an hour or so. All in all it was a really... More

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.

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.

Always a great day to be out on the water fishing. We returned from a cruise and Captain Rafael was accommodating to get us on the water earlier than scheduled. While this day was about ‘fishing’ and not ‘catching’ it was a great time of interaction and education. The captain worked to put us on the fish but today was not that day (evidenced by other boats not catching either). Regardless it was a great to spend time on the water learning, experiencing the back waters of San Juan.
