Captain Pepe has a nice boat and good equipment with Penn reels.  The fishing was tough for all the charters today, but we were happy to bring home a dorado for dinner.  We also landed/released a barracuda and had a billfish hit. 

The Captain’s experience put us on some fish and that’s all we could ask for.  Manny, the first mate, was super knowledgeable on deck and took care of us.  When not hooking fish he gave us tons of recommendations for things to do in Puerto Rico.

I would book this trip again.

Captain Pepe and his first mate were amazing! We have never deep sea fished before, and my 3 kids weren’t feeling that great…. They made us comfortable, and we caught a good barracuda after a day where no one (other boats) were even catching anything. Had a marlin too that got away, augh!  Captain Pepe was generous
enough to give us an extra hour to get that moment. Wonderful experiences!!! HIGHLY recommend! His number is saved for our next trip : )

Captain Pepe and Manny were the best! He explained everything we needed to know in great detail, handled the boat excellently, manny was always there rebaiting the lines and keeping everything going smoothly.  We caught a nice size mahi-mahi which Pepe cleaned perfectly (no bones!) and which ended up being an excellent main course that night for 8 people! We also had - a few more hits which, while they got away, added to the whole experience.  After all, it’s called “fishing” not “catching”.  When we return, we’ll def be heading back out with Blue Water!  Highly recommend!

What an amazing trip my family and I had with Captain Pepé and First Mate Manny. It was a fast trip to the 100-1000 drop off and Manny hooked us up with premium gear and started trolling quickly. While the seas were rough our spirits were high and before we knew it we hooked up on our first fish of the day. Manny did a great job making sure the fish would not come off, and actually let you reel the fish in unlike other fishing charters! Many other fish were caught later that evening, for example, Mahi Mahi, Bonito, and last but not least, a Sail Fish! All in all, a great day on the water in San Juan, and lastly to make it better, with Captain Pepé and First Mate Manny. Complimentary drinks are included. Very fun day and we will be returning my our business when we get a chance.

From someone who takes trips frequently, targeting big fish,  I highly recommend.  The captain communicated as soon as I booked answering any questions.  He also reached out a couple days before. The weather started out horrible, I was late but the Captain was extremely positive.  I noticed bad reviews before taking this trip but also know it’s fishing and not catching.  Anytime you book a trip especially targeting large fish, keep in mind that you are booking a boat ride in hopes to land just one of those “dream” fish.  The captain did everything he could to try to find fish.  The deckhand stayed very busy.  He was very tentative to our needs.  The boat was set up for fishing.  The bathroom serves its purpose.  I began feeling a little nauseas.  The bed in the cabin was a big help.  These guys efforts on a day that shouldn’t have been good, paid off.  We ended up landing a sailfish, wahoo, a couple barracuda, several large mahi, several tuna and a shark.  When I return, I will be using Blue Water fishing charters again.  You can’t go wrong.  Its never a bad trip with good company but the catching part was a huge bonus.
