Capt Gabriel is the master - I went out with Captain Gabriel tarpon fishing. He dropped me right on top of the fish. Almost immediately, we caught several tarpon and lady fish. In the end, he managed to help me hook a massive tarpon. After a 45 minute fight, we nearly had it in the boat, when it sheared the hook and escaped! The catch and fight was exhilarating, even if we didn't quite bring it into the boat. Throughout the whole day, Capt. Gabriel was extremely friendly, fun loving, and knowledgable. Thank you so much, my friend, I will absolutely be back!

Awesome experience with Hiram - We were an hour late for a 2hr tour… we got lost and thought for sure that the tour would be canceled. However, after messaging the company about our delay, they insisted we come anyway, and that the captain is waiting for us. Sure enough, we arrived and Hiram was there patiently waiting . He was kind and respectful despite us being so late. He also took us for the complete 2hrs we signed up for. During the tour, we caught two tarpons which made my sons day! Hiram was very knowledgeable and also very patient in helping my son catch his first tarpon. I would absolutely book again! Note: For beginners, you have to be patient, this is not something where you catch a ton of fish, it’s a trip where you wait some time for a tug. We didn’t know that but it was worth the wait and we had great conversation in between.

Great experience! - Great experience! We got a chance to get a small tarpon and it was a lot of fun! Capt. Tommy was very knowledgeable of the area and he did everything possible to get “the big one”. During the last minutes of our tour, he took us for snook fishing and we had a lot of fun getting some little ones!!! My son and I were very happy with our trip. 😊👍

Awesome fishing experience! - Took my two grandboys ages 14 and 19 on this trip. Each brought in tarpon, both caught a 50+ pounder that got away (one after a 40 minute fight!), plus numerous "hits". Captain Tommy was an outstanding guide and teacher. A good time was had by all!

Great fishing in Puerto Rico! - Would definitely recommend. Captain was great and we caught several fish. 10/10 experience. Captain was very knowledgeable, knew exactly where to go and gave lots of insight on local fishing and local place to go and eat, very friendly.

Great guide. Very... - Great guide. Very knowledgeable. Definitely put me on fish. If you want to throw flys at groups of tarpon, this is the spot and the company to go with.

Sick Tarpon on the Fly - This is a super fun trip and the fishery is insanely good for tarpon on the fly. I went out with Tommy and he’s a great guide—super knowledgeable, easy going, and puts you on fish. We landed a mega and the photo says it all. Will 100 percent book again.
