Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Rafael demonstrates exceptional tarpon expertise, consistently putting clients on fish even when conditions challenge other boats. Customers regularly land multiple tarpon during half-day trips, with one group catching four fish despite selective biting. Rafael's technical skills shine through his strategic chumming techniques and ability to guide anglers through the complete process from baiting to boating these impressive fighters. His intimate knowledge of San Juan's waters helps him locate prime fishing spots where results speak for themselves. Rafael creates memorable experiences that keep families returning year after year, with some clients booking for over a decade. He shows remarkable patience with young children, helping a five-year-old catch their first tarpon and even arranging pelican feeding on the return trip.

Capt. Rafa was a pleasure to spend the morning with. His knowledge of the area and tarpon made the trip a success. He was especially patient and engaging with my 5-year-old son, helping him catch his very first tarpon and even letting him feed the pelicans on the way back to the marina. We’ll definitely book with him again when we return to the area.

My wife and I have been fishing with Raf for 10 years and always come back for more! We started the day trolling and landed several snook. Then we went after tarpon, one of the smartest fish to catch. Despite their selective biting, Raf kept chumming around the bait. It was slow at first, but we eventually got four bites from some impressive fish. The first went airborne and spit the hook, the next two we got on the boat, and the last was a beast that wrapped around the anchor and snapped the line. What an incredible day! Thanks again for another great trip, Raf!

Captain Rafa is absolutely exceptional. Throughout the entire experience, he demonstrates professionalism, friendliness, and extensive knowledge. He expertly guided us in baiting and bringing the tarpon aboard the boat! I would highly recommend this trip for both beginners and seasoned fishermen alike. We booked a 4-hour morning excursion for the final day of our vacation. It was an unforgettable experience fishing for tarpon in a lagoon before sunrise! Thank you so much, Capt Rafa! We look forward to returning! Pedro & Aurelia

We booked a fishing charter and that's exactly what we got—fishing! Oh, and we caught fish too. Captain had us on fish all day, but they were quite picky about what they were biting. We missed several due to eagerness and had a few spit the hooks after impressive aerial displays. We managed to boat one fish, but for us, the thrill was in the fishing, and catching was a great bonus.
