We did 2 days back to back with Capt Pepe and Manny. We switched days due to bad weather coming up for the weekend. Capt Pepe was very quick to communicate and called me before we flew to Puerto Rico. He explained what the weather and wave conditions were going to be so we agreed to move the day.

The first day out we got blanked and no fish, but was still a beautiful day on the water. Capt Pepe and Manny did their best and Manny was great in explaining all about his gear and how things were setup. He’s hands down the best first mate we’ve ever had on a charter.

Day 2 was much better. Within 30 minutes out on the water, we hooked a barracuda. We ended the day with 2 mahi mahi, 1 tuna, saw 2 sailfish (they were fat, dumb, and happy so no bites), and hooked a marlin which got away.

Capt Pepe was an expert in cleaning the fish and gave a great recommendation for a recipe for the tuna.

Overall, a great 2 days on the water - great Captain and First Mate! Looking forward to coming back again in the future!

I came all the way from California, and I’ve been on plenty of fishing trips before—but nothing compares to this one! Captain Jose “Pepe” and his mate Manuel were incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, fun, and beyond helpful. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt truly appreciated, and that made all the difference.

They worked so hard to give us the experience of a lifetime, and they absolutely delivered. It was clear how much they cared about making sure we had a great time. We’re so grateful for their service—it’s something my family and I will never forget.

Thank you, Jose, for also cleaning and cutting the fish for us. We’re enjoying it tonight at the restaurant you recommended, and it’s absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to come back and do it all again. Highly, highly recommended!

Rough seas and no bites at first, but then BAM! What an experience! We told Captain Pepe that we were looking for dinner. So his crew member, Manny, set our tackle up appropriately for Mahi-Mahi and tuna. First catch was a blue marlin, something we were not expecting. What a surprise and an experience to catch something like that. Right after that we caught a decent Mahi and a couple of yellowfin tuna. Really excited that I got to share this experience with my kid. Highly recommended. I will be connecting with Blue Water Fishing PR when we come back. Check out their Facebook and reviews to see all the catches.

Captain Pepe did a great job today. We had very big waves and a lot of wind. My nine-year-old son was feeling woozy and Captain Pepe was very accommodating on trying to find somewhere where he felt better or even willing to take him back. Having said that even under tough conditions, we caught mahi, barracuda, and even hooked up on a sailfish! Was a great trip really appreciated Captain Pepe and his first mate Manny.

This was our first trip fishing offshore in Puerto Rico but it won’t be our last!

I highly recommend Capt Pepe and mate Manny for your next trip! These guys know the area well and are extremely friendly and knowledgeable!

Ten out of ten for these guys!!!
