About Your Trip

This Puerto Rico charter fishing experience includes not only world-class Tarpon and Snook fishing, but also incomparable scenery and wildlife. In addition, the location of these beautiful lagoons guarantees calm waters, which means no seasickness!

The waters around San Juan are known for having a large concentration of Tarpon, but they also produce big Snook, Jacks, Lady Fish, Barracuda, and Snapper. On this trip with Captain Santiago, you'll use live baits such and herring, anchovies, and sand perch to catch giant Tarpon and Snook, which are a blast to fight! In addition, if you're interested in fly-fishing, this is a perfect environment to throw some flies! Just let your captain know ahead of time so that he can bring fly rods and flies.

You'll be fishing from the deck of a 20' Sundance skiff, kitted out with a fishfinder, live well, storage area, and a great casting deck for light tackle fishing or fly fishing.

Your captain will provide everything you need for an awesome trip, including rods, reels, live bait, and tackle. Just bring proper clothing, a hat, and a pair of polarized sunglasses and you'll be good to go!

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!
