Makaira Charters delivered a fantastic adventure for our entire family. Our family decided to chip in for a fishing experience over the holidays. We are so glad we chose Captain Pepi and Jose for our outing. His Contender fishing platform was in top
shape and was totally comfortable for our party of 6. Captain Pepi customized our trip to include trolling for Wahoo and Mahi, as well as free lining for Tuna. We learn valuable lessons about fishing off of Rincon and we caught Wahoo and hooked a nice Sailfish that ultimately threw the hook- but great fun nonetheless.

Our family is already planning our next trip with Makaira Charters. It was easily one of our best trips out into blue water we have experienced.

Thanks again- The Prichards

Captain Pepe and Jose were incredible! It was windy so they suggested we fish closer to shore instead of offshore. Caught yellowtail and cero mackerel that they cleaned and made a suggestion to take to Harbor restaurant to cook for us. Fish was delicious and we had an excellent time in the boat. Well equipped and knowledgeable crew, highly recommend!

Rincon is interesting in that there isn’t a true marina to meet and board the boat. We met the Captain at the public boat launch and climbed the bot ladder into the boat and the Captain launched the boat into the water. The Captain was punctual and professional and first mate was engaging and efficient.
It’s a bit of a longer trip than many as you leave first to catch your bait. It’s fun watching the first mate toss the cast net and drag in nets of bait. First time I’ve seen that.
We went out fishing and were a bit ghosted by the fish. We were cold so tried a second location and were dry there too. Tried a third spot and hit on some fish. We landed a small tuna, the first mate landed a bigger tuna on a hand line. We had a few lines snap. We could see the fish, just couldn’t get them in the boat.
At the end of the tour we did some tarpon fishing while the first mate cleaned the fish. They put up a great fight and everyone was able to catch a fish (but you don’t keep tarpon).
We had a good time and wouldn’t hesitate to fish with this boat and crew again. I’d love to have tried a couple different methods of fishing to try to land some more fish but we ate well with the tuna we caught. Thanks for the memories!

This was an amazing trip. It was my son’s (11) first trip in the ocean. Capitan Pepi and his mate were both very patient with him. They explained things and were understanding when he made mistakes when he got excited. Capitan put us on the fish very early and we caught so many fish it was non-stop for awhile. Took home enough fish to have some great dinner and froze some to fly back home with us. Capitan explained some of the question I might get at the airport from Dept. of Ag.  so there were no issues at the airport. Thank you Capitan Pepi and crew so much for making this the highlight of our trip to PR. We will absolutely book again if we come back to PR.

This was an amazing fishing trip! Captain Pepi and Jose were knowledgable and helpful to our crew, most of whom never fished on a boat before. They knew where all the fishing holes were. We caught king mackerel and black fin tuna. They even recommended a restaurant that cooked some of the fish for lunch-there was more fish than we could even eat. Highly recommend them! 10/10!! Thanks again for a very cool experience!
