  Amazing Tarpon Fishing Experience With Captain Javier!

  4 Hour Light Tackle Trip on June 28, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain Javier gave us an amazing fishing experience from start to finish! My husband and I both caught beautiful tarpon, and I landed my very first one—a memory I’ll never forget. Captain Javier was friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to find the fish and made sure we had a successful and fun day on the water. The boat was clean, the scenery was beautiful, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. If you’re looking for an unforgettable tarpon fishing trip in Puerto Rico, I highly recommend Captain Javier. We can’t wait to fish with him again!

  Awesome trip!!

  4 Hour Light Tackle Trip on June 11, 2026 • 2 adults

  My son and I had a great morning on the water with Capt. Javier. He recommended starting at 5:30 AM to improve our chances, caught fresh bait, and worked hard the entire trip to keep us on fish. We ended up hooking 7 tarpon and landing 3, including one that was too big to bring into the boat. The ones we lost were on us, not the captain. Tarpon fishing isn't easy, but Capt. Javier put us in the right places and gave us every opportunity to be successful. The highlight of the trip was watching my son catch and release his tarpon. Those are memories we'll never forget. If you're looking for a knowledgeable guide who works hard and knows how to put clients on fish, I highly recommend Capt. Javier. We'll definitely fish with him again the next time we're in Puerto Rico. Gilberto

  above and beyond just the trip we were looking for!

  4 Hour Light Tackle Trip on June 22, 2026 • 2 adults

  Our captain was knowledgeable, dedicated, and instructive. i highly recommend this charter for people who want to catch fish becuase that is captain Javier’s goal. Tarpon are a premeier fighting salt water fish so come prepared to take instruction and be ready for one heck of a fight! let the captain know in advance what your goals and expectations are and he will get you where you need to be!

  Awesome Trip! Great Captains, professional and personable.

  4 Hour Fly Fishing Trip on December 31, 2025 • 2 adults

  Had a great couple of trips with Captain Santiago and one of his other captains. They both were professional witj great knowledge of the fishery and worked hard to put us on Tarpon and snook and we caught both species ans had great opportunities to land fish and caught some nice ones. They are professional and personable. We had a morning trip an afternoon and night trip! Highly recommend them, and remember fishing is always just that, its fishing.

  Put us on Fish

  4 Hour Light Tackle Trip (PM) on February 23, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  Captain Santiago Javier took my 5 year old son and I out. He was patient, on time and knowledgeable about the area. He asked if we wanted to leave an hour later to time the better bite, and left it up to us. There were several other boats out and I didn't them land or fight a fish. Even on a tough day for everyone else, we were able to hook into 6 tarpon over 4 hours and put a couple in the boat. Definitely recommend.
