We had an awesome time with Luis and he is an awesome guide and an amazing person. He messaged me and let me know that we would be starting at 2pm and I forgot and showed up a little before 1. Luis was extremely accommodating and cut his lunch short just to get us on the water so we weren’t sitting around. Even after telling him that I apologized, he was still willing to rush over and get us going. MAKE SURE TO READ HIS TEXTS, lol. He doesn’t always go off the booking time but he will make sure that you get your time fishing!! Luis was amazing and constantly moved us around looking for fish. We saw tons of Tarpon and had many bites but getting a fish to stay on was tricky. Thanks to Luis’s dedication we were able to get on an awesome Snook and Luis helped my 12 year old land him all on his own.

This was our first trip to Puerto rica and our first guide hired on fishbooker but it definitely won’t be our last!! Thanks again Luis!

How do describe an epic deep jigging fishing adventure? Epic works. Amazing? Perfect? Hard to find a good word.

Captain Luis called us the night before. Inshore fishing had been slow though that’s what we had signed up to do, especially for Tarpon. He offered us deep jigging for Tuna and larger fish. We were hesitant at first. Both myself and my buddy are very experienced anglers and were concerned it might be boring. We’d done enough deep wreck fishing and were not looking for that. Captain Luis assured us it wasn’t that and that it would be fun. We trusted the captain and he was right.

Almost immediately he got us on the fish on a ledge ~400-250’. He showed us the unique technique they use for deep jigging, which was different that what we’d done in the past.

After about 10-15 minutes, we had our first Bonito on the board. Then another….then another. They are fun but small…Captain kept resetting and setting, trying to find that perfect spot….and he did.

Then we hooked up a massive yellowfin Tuna. Keeping in mind we are on relatively light tackle, no more than ~20lb rods, it darn near pulled the rod out of my hand. Capt. Luis coached me through the fight. When the fish was almost at the boat, it was eaten by a ~200+ lb shark, which I then fought to the boat before it broke off. Epic fight x2. If the trip had ended there, it would have been amazing… but there was much more in store for us.

After that, we hooked up a huge blackfin tuna which we landed after a good 10 min fight, then 2 more black fins, a bunch more bonito. Then on our final drift, we got a double hookup of King Mackerel. A double fight to end the day

After 4+ hours, our arms were burned out, hips bruised from big fights, and our smiles large. We’ve fished all over the world from deep sea to tiny trout streams, for sailfish, marlin, bone fish, tarpon, etc. with dozens or more captains. This trip is in the top 10 easily and Capt Luis is in the top 5 charter captains we’ve fished with.

At the end, he even coordinated with the Chef at the restaurant next to the marina to cook up the Blackfin for lunch.

Clearly, we HIGHLY recommend. His boat is great and well equipped.

We’ve been on several guided fishing trips, but nothing compares to the night we spent with Captain Fernando fishing inshore in Puerto Rico. From the moment we stepped onto his boat, it was clear we were in for something special.

Fernando’s enthusiasm and energy were infectious. His signature saying, “Big bait, big fish,” set the tone for the night, and boy, did he deliver! We landed five incredible fish, including two absolute unicorns—a Cubera Snapper weighing about 15 pounds and a 38-inch snook that felt like something out of a fishing legend.

What sets Captain Fernando apart is his unmatched knowledge and skill. Though he specializes in fly fishing, he tailored this trip to focus on big tarpon and inshore beasts. He didn’t just guide us—he taught us, sharing his techniques and making the experience engaging and educational. His passion for fishing shines through in every story he tells, from catching his first-ever puffer fish to becoming the masterful guide he is today.

The nighttime setting added an unforgettable vibe, and the gear and equipment Fernando provided were top-notch—everything was ready and perfect for the adventure. Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to fishing, Captain Fernando is the guide you want.

If you’re looking for the best fishing trip in Puerto Rico, look no further. Captain Fernando doesn’t just take you fishing; he gives you an adventure you’ll never forget.

My wife and I booked a trip with Capt. Luis, mostly for me. She didn’t end up fishing at all, but the Capt. still made sure she was having a good time and enjoying the day.
That didn’t stop us from also having an incredible day fishing. We caught Tarpon, Horse-eye Jack, Snook, Ladyfish, and Mackerel. We got multiple bites at the same time a couple of times, and the Capt. handled it great. I could tell he was excited, and we even went out of our way to try and get more species.
We couldn’t have had a better time, and I can’t recommend Capt. Luis enough.

Great experience first time tarpon fishing with Captain Luis. He put us on fish early in the trip and finished with a super fight with a beast.  Coached me patiently as I lost a couple learning the tricks to landing tarpon.
