About this experience

For four hours, the vessel is exclusively yours. Your experience combines a USCG-licensed Captain, dedicated professional fishing instructor/crew member, premium fishing equipment, bait, fuel, marina fees, refreshments, lunch, beers and a fishing strategy adapted to the conditions of the day. Whether you're an experienced angler or holding a serious fishing rod for the first time, our crew handles the preparation so you can concentrate on one thing: Finding the bite. 🎣THE EXPERIENCE The waters surrounding eastern Puerto Rico create an exciting environment where coastal structure, reefs, deeper water and the open Caribbean/Atlantic environment provide opportunities to encounter a variety of marine species. Your Captain and fishing professional will evaluate factors such as weather, sea conditions, currents, season, recent activity and your group's experience to determine the fishing strategy and areas that provide the best experience that day. Depending on conditions and the Captain's discretion, the experience may incorporate techniques such as: Trolling Bottom fishing Drifting Jigging Bait fishing Other appropriate nearshore/offshore techniques This is not a crowded fishing excursion. Maximum capacity: 6 guests. Your group receives the vessel, crew and fishing experience privately for the duration of the charter.

What's included

WHY THIS IS A $1,980 EXPERIENCE You're not paying $1,980 for the promise of a fish. You're booking the boat, expertise, equipment, preparation and opportunity to fish Puerto Rico's waters privately. Your charter includes: 🚤 PRIVATE VESSEL + PROFESSIONAL CREW ✓ Private vessel exclusively for your group ✓ Professional USCG-licensed Captain ✓ Dedicated professional fishing instructor/crew member ✓ Up to 6 guests ✓ 4 full hours of charter time ✓ Fuel included ✓ Marina/docking fees included ✓ Routes selected according to conditions and fishing strategy ✓ Itinerary may be customized within safe operational limits 🎣 FISHING SETUP Arrive ready to fish—we take care of the setup. ✓ Fishing rods and reels ✓ Fishing tackle ✓ Bait ✓ Fishing equipment ✓ Crew assistance with equipment and technique ✓ Guidance for beginners ✓ Fishing strategy adapted to conditions ✓ Assistance throughout the charter Whether you're introducing your family to sportfishing or bringing friends who already know their way around a reel, the crew adapts the experience to your group's skill level. 🥪FOOD, DRINKS & COMFORT Your private experience also includes: ✓ Curated lunch ✓ Light snacks ✓ Canned beers ✓ Bottled water ✓ Canned Coca-Cola ✓ Ice ✓ Cooler for beverages ✓ Bluetooth sound system Guests may bring their preferred alcoholic beverages to place in the provided cooler. Please drink responsibly. Illegal drugs are strictly prohibited aboard the vessel. 🌊THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT FISHING We sell the fishing experience—not a guaranteed catch. Fishing takes place in a wild, natural and completely uncontrolled marine environment. Fish are wild and free. Their presence, location, feeding behavior and willingness to strike cannot be controlled by Caribbean Bookings, the Captain, crew, vessel operator or fishing instructor. Therefore, no specific fish species, number of fish, size of fish, strike, hookup or catch is guaranteed under any circumstance. A trip where no fish are caught does not constitute a failed service and does not qualify for a refund, credit or price adjustment. What we do provide is the professional effort behind the opportunity: The vessel. The Captain. The fishing professional. The equipment. The bait. The fuel. The preparation. The strategy. And four private hours on Puerto Rico's waters pursuing the bite. That's fishing. Sometimes the ocean gives you the story of a lifetime. Sometimes it gives you a reason to come back.

What's not included

Not included: Gratuity: A tip for your exceptional captain and service is at your discretion and greatly appreciated. No marine head (Bathroom inside the vessel)
