The most common fishing techniques in Puerto Rico are trolling, heavy tackle fishing, and bottom fishing but deep dropping and artificial lure fishing are popular as well.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

Deep sea fishing in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico, a Caribbean island and unincorporated U.S. territory, is a renowned destination for offshore fishing. Known for its lush landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and beautiful beaches, Puerto Rico also offers anglers access to the abundant waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, providing a diverse and exciting fishing experience.

The waters around Puerto Rico teem with a variety of fish species, making it a haven for both recreational and serious anglers. The area is particularly famous for its Blue Marlin fishing, attracting sportfishing enthusiasts from around the world. Other popular catches include Sailfish, Mahi-Mahi (Dorado), Wahoo, and various types of Tuna. The island’s unique position at the convergence of the Atlantic and the Caribbean provides a rich marine environment, ideal for a range of offshore fishing adventures.

Puerto Rico's offshore fishing is characterized by its exceptional quality and the variety of fishing experiences it offers. From the deep-sea trenches off the north coast to the vibrant waters of the south and west coasts, anglers have the opportunity to target a multitude of species in diverse aquatic settings. The island’s proximity to deep waters means that prime fishing spots are often just a short boat ride away.

The island offers a plethora of fishing charters with experienced captains skilled in navigating these fertile waters. These charters cater to all levels of experience, providing options from half-day trips perfect for families or beginners to full-day and extended excursions for more experienced anglers. Puerto Rico's captains are knowledgeable about the best fishing spots and employ effective techniques to ensure a successful outing.

For sportfishing enthusiasts, the waters around Puerto Rico are particularly attractive. The challenge of landing a trophy Marlin or engaging in a battle with a feisty Tuna offers an exhilarating experience. The island hosts several prestigious fishing tournaments throughout the year, further cementing its status as a top sportfishing destination.

Beyond its offshore fishing opportunities, Puerto Rico offers a rich tapestry of experiences. The island is known for its vibrant culture, historic landmarks, delicious cuisine, and a range of outdoor activities. From the colonial charm of Old San Juan to the natural wonders of El Yunque National Forest, Puerto Rico provides a unique and captivating backdrop for a fishing trip.

    Our guide and captain were great in Puerto Rico, which is why I’m giving it 5 stars. I do not want our confusing/stressful experience to reflect poorly on the people we actually worked with. Our issues were with the parent company “Captain Experiences.” They were not knowledgeable on fishing license needs; I only asked about fishing licenses to verify what I read on their website because it was a bit contradictory. I was provided the wrong answer by someone at Captain Experiences, and was only given the correct info after I screenshot their website and emailed it to them. Also, the directions to the pick up location were not clear. Any other fishing tour we have gone on, the captain makes contact prior to the trip to make sure everything is taken care of. We were given the name of the Puerto Rican company’s owner not the captain and guide. Needless to say, my husband and children were very stressed before we located Franco and Petine (who were great and knew nothing about our issues). Located them at 7:26, with trip starting at 7:30. My son caught a good sized white marlin and my daughter had a fish get off the hook. Again, Franco and Petine were great. The issue is communication and clarity prior to the trip.

    Frank maintained contact up to the day of the Charter. Arrived on time and well prepared. He was knowledgeable of the area and was a great experience. We caught tuna, wahoo, barracuda, red hind grouper, yellow jack, and trumpet fish. Definitely recommend Frank.

    Trip: Epic Sportfishing - Rincon, PR

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Angel and his crew mate were fantastic they worked very hard to put us on fish but it didn’t work out. One high point was when we returned to the marina Captan Angel spotted some Tarpon so he baited a rod and tossed it in and then let my 7 year old Grandson reel it in. He was really excited to fight that tarpon and talked about it all night. Thank you Captain Angel for your kindness.

    A great day on the water with a view of Old San Juan in the back ground. Boat was fully out fitted and the Captain and mate work like a well oiled machine. Great gear, fully stocked cooler, and and fish on. What more can you say?
