I took a solo 6-hour charter with Father and Sons yesterday and it was one of the best decisions of my trip. Captain Roberto knows every inch of these waters, and Captain José kept the lines busy and the energy up the whole time.
We had a great day of catching — 8 barracudas, a cero mackerel, and a blue runner. We also stopped at Vieques where I jumped in for a swim, which was a perfect break. The guys shared stories from years on the water that made the whole trip feel personal, not transactional.
I got seasick mid-trip, and the crew could not have been more attentive or kind about it. As a woman traveling solo, that level of care and professionalism meant a lot. I never felt anything but welcome.
