What types of tarpon fishing charters are common in Puerto Rico?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for tarpon in Puerto Rico as well as inshore fishing, flats fishing, and nearshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Puerto Rico are light tackle fishing, fly fishing, and live bait fishing but artificial lure fishing and trolling are popular as well.

How much do Puerto Rico tarpon fishing charters cost?

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.

    Great afternoon of tarpon fishing with Fernando! He was knowledgable, helpful and very polite! What a nice young man! He made our afternoon very pleasant. The boat is comfortable & clean. Communication with Juan Carlos was easy, informative & prompt.

    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.

    Santiago made the trip fun despite the tarpon being hard to catch. He was on time and interesting to talk with. Seeing manatees and jumping sting rays made the trip. Great guide, would book again!

  • ★★★★★
    Rafa is the man. He was on time, prepared, informative and knew how to attack tarpon. It was a slow day for the catching side of things but Rafa managed to get us on fish. My wife and I both landed a couple 4 to 5 lb fish and we hooked a bigger fish (12 to 15lb) that gave us a jumping show but came unhooked at the boat. We got to meet Bob the pelican as an added treat. A great day and I can confidently refer Rafa as a good man to fish with

    great event...we caught a variety of species and we even booked Luis for the next day...Luis was simply the BEST! He stayed with us until after dark to make sure we landed our big tarpon...and he did everything he could to make sure we got what we are after...i will always seek Luis and his crew out when i am in PR.

    Captain Carlos did a great job and moved several times to try finding us some fish. Unfortunately, it was a hot day and we didn’t have any luck, but we’ll definitely be booking through Captain again!
