Guests frequently praise their trips, sharing stories of memorable moments on the water. One family recounted catching tarpon, with their 13-year-old son describing it as one of his “peak moments.” Multiple boats have landed tarpon over 70 pounds, keeping everyone engaged and thrilled throughout the day. Many have highlighted the friendliness and expertise of guides like Shag and Captain Adrian, complimenting their ability to locate fish quickly and sharing helpful tips. The team’s communication and support are often noted as outstanding.
While most experiences are positive, there are occasional accounts of delays and disappointing catches, such as a late start that impacted the prime feeding hours for tarpon during a four-hour trip. Some guests felt the outing didn’t meet their expectations and voiced concerns. The team actively addresses feedback and strives to offer refunds or discounts to ensure a better experience on return visits.
Several anglers rave about night trips where they’ve hooked tarpon and snapper amidst beautiful views, recommending these excursions highly. Repeat customers have praised guides like Luis, who goes above and beyond—staying late to help anglers land their prized tarpon.
Even on days when the fish are elusive, Captain Angel’s dedication shines through. One touching moment involved a seven-year-old grandson reeling in a tarpon at the marina, creating lasting memories despite a slow day on the water.
On the other hand, some guests have shared frustrations about unproductive trips, feeling the captains’ efforts were lacking. As avid outdoor enthusiasts ourselves, the team understands how disappointing this can be and offers discounts to encourage another try with hopes for better outcomes.
Despite occasional rough waters or lost catches—such as a 400+ pound marlin that got away near the boat—anglers appreciate the overall experience. With fully equipped boats, attentive crews, well-stocked coolers, and stunning views like Old San Juan’s skyline, these outings deliver excitement and great memories for everyone involved.
