Great crew, no fish

3.00The boat and the crew were great! Not one fish was caught. Wish there could be something in place for a discount for a future trip when you catch zero fish. Again, great crew, great boat and great company!
Great Trip

1.00The positives. Capt. and Mate were very nice and respectful! Boat was clean. Departure or port 5 minutes from my hotel. Negatives. The Capt. and Mate smoke and all you can smell is the smoke if you sit in the upper level. If you sit in the lower level then you have a strong odor of engine smoke. The cost with fees and taxes was more like $1200.00 not $945.00 because Puerto Rico has a sales tax of over 11.5 percent. This charter is not for kids or the wife. We took motion sickness pills and still threw up. The boat was rocking like the show deadliest catch. Water was getting in the boat as we rocked side to side. We had 6 lines in the water for Marlin fishing. No bites in 2 hours. I asked the mate if they caught any Marlin in the last several weeks and he said its been very slow so I suggested we fish for tuna , mahi mahi or use some type of live bait, the mate said mahi mahi season was over in February. If I would've known this prior to me paying all this money , I would've never booked it. I loved the photos I seen on line of families catching Mahi Mahi or tuna so I wanted that same experience. I tried calling Castillo Tours phone number on the website prior to me booking this trip so I can ask questions but no one ever retuned my call. So , anyway I told the caption to take me back to shore but don't pull the lines out of the water until we get to shallow water as we return so he did. Castillo Tours needs to properly advertise what fish you are fishing for during the time of your booking. I feel like I was duped for my money.
What a way to spend the morning

5.00We had an excellent experience. Boat, Captain and First Mate were friendly and willing to help us in any way. Captain was very informative on water temperature and fish in season. We caught 2 Maui about 15 pounds each. Would book with this Captain again!!
Kids (12 & 15) having an amazing time fishing in Puerto Rico with the best company… Castillo Tours and the best staff.

5.00On January 7, 2023, our 12 year old boy and 15 year old cousin went on a four (4) Hr deep sea fishing tour and they had an unbelievable time. The captain and fishing expert were very professional and did everything on their power for our two kids to have an amazing fishing experience. The two boys and adults in the fishing tour had a spectacular time filled with the excitement and rush of fishing big fishes. This is a must do trip while in Puerto Rico and you have the option of choosing from 4, 6 or 8 hours of fishing.
Great experience!

Worst deep sea fishing excursion

1.00Worst deep sea fishing experience. The boat was unkept and dirty. We paid $1000 to go in circles for 5 hours. Made everyone sea sick. Waste of money! Would not recommend.
First PR fishing charter

5.00Out there the morning of June 15th; everything from the initial greeting to exiting the charter boat was amazing. Although I did get sick, the first ship mate- Franco, was attentive and great. The captain gave us a quick history lesson as we were pulling out to open waters. They had plenty of beverages for us, along with light snacks. This was an amazing experience, not for the faint of hearts- well stomachs! But seriously, this trip was amazing. Just come appropriately dressed and listen to the Captain and Mate when moving around as we don’t anchor at all.
Amazing Experience; Top Notch Crew and Boat

5.00Captain Martinez and First Mate Kevin were top notch. Kevin worked hard to keep the lines free of seaweed, and because of his and the Captain's efforts, we caught a ~60lb white marlin and two Mahi Mahi. We also saw some dolphins swim by as the marlin was jumping out of the water. My wife got a little sea sick but she felt much better staying inside the air conditioned cabin. The boat was spacious, clean, and very comfortable for our family (10 and 8 year old). It was an amazing experience, and it was the highlight of our Puerto Rico trip! I highly recommend this tour.
