Highlights of Fishing In Puerto Rico | Private 6 To 8 Hour Charter Trip

Experience the thrill of battling monster Tarpon in San Juan's productive inshore waters. Our charters focus on the winding waterways and lush wetlands that provide the perfect habitat for these powerful gamefish. Guests regularly encounter impressive Tarpon exceeding 100 pounds that deliver unforgettable fights on appropriate tackle.

Beyond Tarpon, you'll have opportunities to target Snook and various other inshore species using a variety of techniques including live bait fishing, bottom fishing, and trolling. The lagoon systems we fish offer protected waters regardless of ocean conditions, ensuring consistent fishing action throughout your trip. Captain Rafael's extensive local knowledge puts you in prime position to connect with these challenging gamefish in one of the Caribbean's most scenic fishing destinations.

Local Tips & Conditions

San Juan's inshore waters offer year-round fishing opportunities, with summer months particularly productive for Tarpon fishing. The protected lagoon systems provide calm water fishing even when ocean conditions aren't favorable. Early mornings typically deliver the most consistent action, which is why we often recommend the morning departure option. The partly cloudy conditions common in summer create ideal fishing scenarios, with reduced glare and comfortable temperatures for anglers. Water temperatures remain consistent, keeping the fish active and feeding throughout the day. When fishing the lagoons, be prepared for scenic mangrove environments teeming with wildlife beyond just the gamefish we target. The ecosystem here supports a rich food chain that keeps predatory species like Tarpon and Snook active and hunting.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Your charter includes a well-equipped fishing vessel designed specifically for navigating Puerto Rico's inshore waters, with all necessary fishing equipment provided. We accommodate up to 2 guests comfortably, ensuring personalized attention throughout your trip. Our charters typically begin early morning to capitalize on peak fishing activity, though we can adjust start times to match your schedule and the day's conditions. Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the tropical climate, and don't forget sun protection including hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. While we provide all fishing gear, you're welcome to bring your favorite tackle if preferred. A cooler with ice is available for any beverages or snacks you'd like to bring along. Our focus is making your day on the water both productive and comfortable as you experience the legendary Tarpon fishing that makes Puerto Rico a bucket-list destination for anglers worldwide.
