    We did two full day charters. We landed multiple blue marlins. All well over 250 pounds. Best experience in Puerto Rico.

    Great crew and good boat despite poor fishing

    Full Day Trip • 6 adults

    Captain and mate were wonderful despite tough fishing. I would try them again. remember its fishing not catching. Plenty of roonm for 6 people and the head is clean and in good working order. plenty of fridge space for lunches and beers. equipment seemed to be of quality and in good shape. As I said, I would not hesitate to try fishing with them again.

    Response from Captain

    "Thank you so much for the detailed review! We truly appreciate you recognizing that it's fishing, not catching—but I know the Captain and mate were working hard to make it happen. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the space, cleanliness, and quality of our equipment. We look forward to having you back aboard for another fun day on the water!

    The time and financial commitment of the customer and crew makes it unreasonable for zero strikes, bites, or sightings. We explained before the trip we didn't care what we caught as long as we caught something. The crew put in the time but we left feeling they didn't care if we caught fish or not.

    My husband and I each brought in a yellowfin tuna weighing 30-35lbs. For us, this was a first! Captain Pitain and Franco were very knowledgeable and friendly. We spent a few hours trolling for billfish with no luck but that's fishing. We enjoyed the day very much!

    Franco and Captain Pitain were excellent. It couldn’t have been easier to arrive at the marina and get going out. Starts out with a beautiful view driving out the Port of San Juan; passing El Morro. It’s a quick drive to the fishing grounds; maybe 30 minutes from the dock to lines in. We went out on an unlucky day, so we did not have much action, but we did catch 1 sailfish. Good stock of drinks and some individual sized bags of chips. Franco was an incredible first mate! Very quick and efficient, fun to talk about and will explain as much or as little as you want about the fishing setup. Captain Pitain also was excellent up at the helm, communicating with nearby boats to try to get us on some fish. Great day in The Legend!
