Bayside Fishing Charters 

Capt. Chris was awesome and very knowledgeable about the fishing.

Overall, the trip was a fun and enjoyable one. We planned it last minute and didn’t know what to expect because we’re used to Florida charters where you catch fish after fish after fish. The captain was very friendly and respectful, he even brought drinks for us to have on the trip. The trip went fairly well, although the first two hours we didn’t not catch a single fish or touch a rod. Make sure you are looking to do a trolling charter if you use this company. A lot of sitting and waiting for fish to bite and less hands on actually fishing yourselves. In the end, we caught a few snook, one tarpon, one jack, and a couple small fish. The captain also stayed out a little past our time & took us to see the fort from the water. It ended up being a very fun day. I would recommend this charter, however, just make sure it’s the type of fishing you’re looking for so you’re not disappointed!

I had a great experience in Puerto Rico fishing with Capt Yorman Sierra of Bayside Charters. I happen to live on saltwater and fish quite often. I also have started making a habit of booking a charter whenever I can while on vacation. With that being said, I can discern when a local Capt knows how to get on fish and also when they appear to be motivated to do so. Capt Yorman set the expectations and delivered on a day that initially seemed less than ideal for fishing. After losing at least 3 fish and getting almost spooled by a shark, we ended up putting 5 different species on the boat including a few Jacks, a Snook, King Mackerel, and even a Remora. While we did not see, or get a Tarpon, it absolutely was not for lack of effort. Capt Yorman pulled out every stop to get me on fish this day and especially worked everything to get us to a Tarpon. However, what I enjoyed the most about this entire trip was Yorman himself, he was warm, attentive, and also provided me what I always hope to get from a charter Capt, and that is some education. He is definitely a master of his craft. Needless to say, I had a great experience with Capt Yorman and Bayside Charters and would recommend them and Capt Yorman. -John Reid

Had a blast!!! Unforgettable experience!!! Ok when you watch the video of me dropping my fish just know 2 things… I can fish and I was NOT scared!! Ok so I hooked to fish lost one, but the one I caught was being chased by a Monster fish that cam out!!! It was my Big Fish story! Omg we loved and will 100% do it again!! Do wear sun screen (ours was week get strong stuff! He has drinks but bring snack and COLD drinks (little cooler)! Just a suggestion Also our captain was so helpful and cool’ I hope you enjoy your trip like we did Thank you again!!!!

We were able to catch Jack Crevalle, Snook, Tarpon, and Red Snapper during our 4 hour excursion. Mother Nature provided us with a perfect day, nice breeze and slightly overcast so it wasn't too warm in the sunshine. We saw several Iguana on the banks. Inshore = No seasickness for this mama! And...Captain Yorman was great! Thanks for a cool experience my boys and I will never forget!

Captain Yorman was great! The fishing started slow but he never stopped trying to put us on fish. He finally found the tarpon and it was on. Worth every penny and we will definitely be back next time we are in San Juan!

We fished one stop for a while and caught a few 40-50 pound tarpon. Then we fished by the fort and the view was amazing!

We had a great experience for our first time fishing on a boat with Luis. Everything was prepared by him before we got there, and he knew of several spots to try for fish. He landed us a 15 lb snook that my 5 year old had a fantastic time reeling in. Luis also went to great length to make sure my 8 year old still had a great time despite not catching anymore fish, (that’s how it goes- great lesson in patience while fishing). All in all, this was a great experience for my kids and a memorable one we will always treasure.

Fishing with Yorman was great! We boated 5 fish, tarpon, snook, barracuda, ladyfish and an out of place grouper. Lost 4 other nice fish. Had a great time.

Had an awesome trip with Capt. Luis. He was able to get me on my first and second tarpon ever! We then went to the bay and got me on the biggest Jack Cevelle I’ve ever caught and did everything he could to try and get me on a snook for a Puerto Rico grand slam. Was even able to hand feed tarpon in the marina when we got back in. Overall an incredible trip for my first time fishing in Puerto Rico.
