Our Captain was well versed in fishing, very friendly and informative! He brought us to some fish right away!!! We had some smaller fish to start and after we had some fun he brought us to bigger fish and we hooked a monster!!!! Had an incredible experience and a fantastic fishing trip!!!!! I suggest that anyone who wants to catch fish and have a great time, they should hire captain Mendez!!!! He is also an army vet (thank you for your service captain!) He is knowledgeable of the area if you have questions, and even inexperienced anglers will enjoy a trip with him!!!! Btw he has 26 years experience fishing these waters!!! He comes highly recommend!!!! Thanks again for a great trip!!!!

My wife and I chartered with Captain Francisco during our vacation in Puerto Rico.  I have over 25 years of offshore fishing experience on my own boat, as well as others.  Whenever I travel and fish, I almost always charter with a guide.  I try to use those opportunities to learn from the pros that do it everyday and, hopefully, improve my skills. 

I don’t expect to catch fish every time…it is called “fishing” and not “catching” for a reason.  I do, however, expect a knowledgeable Captain that’s willing to put in the effort.

Enter Captain Francisco.  It’s obvious that he’s been doing this for decades.  Very knowledgeable and pleasantly approachable.  He seemed more than happy to share his knowledge and answer all my questions with a passion that only comes from a love of the fishery, people skills, and a lifetime of know how. 

On the day we fished, there was a tarpon tournament going on…several tournament boats were all around us.  We caught more and bigger tarpon than ALL of them!

I am eager to visit Puerto Rico again.  I am eager to fish with Captain Francisco again.

I’m so glad that with all of the options out there, we chose to go with this company! Captain Paco was amazing! He was so knowledgeable. He brought us to a spot where he knew we would catch fish, and it did not disappoint. He had all of the equipment already to go as well as the bait. He also provided water and soft drinks. Although he had bug spray and sunscreen available, I suggest you bring some if you use something specific. Also, I would bring a rain jacket just in case. Weather can be a little unpredictable in Puerto Rico. While we were fishing, he gave us helpful tips on where to eat, as well as where to visit on the island. I can’t wait to come back and fish with him again I think I’ll actually try peacock bass next time! My husband and I highly recommend…don’t bother going anywhere else.

This was one of the most memorable fishing trips of my life! Captain Paco helped me land a seven foot silver king! He is extremely knowledgable of the coastal mangroves, and I learned a lot about Tarpon and the tecniques to catch them. The scenary was breathtaking: Tarpon jumping from the river, Manatis passing by us, and an immense variety of birds. Captain Paco is the man to go to for chasing the silver king in Puerto Rico!
