Deep Sea Fishing Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico's Best Offshore Fishing — Private Charter from Fajardo

Puerto Rico sits at the edge of the Puerto Rico Trench — the deepest point in the entire Atlantic Ocean at over 28,000 feet. Just miles from the coast at Fajardo, the ocean floor drops dramatically into one of the world's richest pelagic fishing grounds.


Mahi-mahi, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, blue marlin, white marlin, and kingfish roam these waters year-round. Our USCG-licensed captains know exactly where to find them — whether that's trolling the deep blue at 30 miles offshore or working weed lines closer to the island.


Every deep sea fishing charter is 100% private — just your group, your captain, your boat. All gear, bait, tackle, and ice are included. You keep every fish you catch.

Target Species

What You'll Catch Deep Sea Fishing in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico's offshore waters offer world-class variety — from fast-running mahi to trophy-size marlin.

🐠
Mahi-Mahi (Dorado)
Peak: March–July
The most sought-after offshore species in Puerto Rico. Mahi-mahi are colorful, acrobatic fighters that taste exceptional. Found near weed lines and floating debris in open water. Year-round in Puerto Rico, peaking in spring and early summer.
🐟
Wahoo
Peak: Year-Round
One of the fastest fish in the ocean — reaching 60 mph in short bursts. Wahoo are elusive and highly prized. Found at the edges of deep water drop-offs. Known for explosive strikes on high-speed trolling lures. Excellent eating.
🐡
Yellowfin Tuna
Peak: November–April
Schools of yellowfin tuna patrol the deep waters of the Puerto Rico Trench. Known for their incredible stamina and fighting ability. Yellowfin are found in deep water (100–300+ feet) and are targeted by chunking, trolling and jigging.
🦈
Blue Marlin
Peak: June–September
Puerto Rico is a world-class blue marlin destination. The Puerto Rico Trench creates ideal currents that concentrate billfish along the drop-off. Blue marlin over 500 lbs are caught regularly. Most are released after the catch.
White Marlin
Peak: Spring
Smaller and more acrobatic than blue marlin. White marlin are a beloved billfish target — jumping and tail-walking on the surface when hooked. Found on the same offshore grounds as blue marlin. Catch-and-release standard.
🎣
Kingfish & Barracuda
Peak: Year-Round
King mackerel (kingfish) and great barracuda are commonly encountered on nearshore and mid-depth trolling runs. Kingfish are fast and hard-fighting — excellent table fare. Barracuda offer explosive action on lighter tackle.

FAQ

Deep Sea Fishing Puerto Rico — FAQ

Puerto Rico's offshore waters hold: mahi-mahi (peak March–July), wahoo (year-round), yellowfin tuna (November–April peak), blue marlin and white marlin (June–September peak), kingfish and barracuda (year-round). The Puerto Rico Trench — the deepest part of the Atlantic — creates rich upwellings that concentrate baitfish and pelagic predators just miles from Fajardo.
Puerto Rico offers excellent offshore fishing year-round. Mahi-mahi peak from March through July. Blue marlin season runs June through September. Wahoo and tuna are present year-round. January through April offers calmer seas and cooler temperatures — ideal for longer offshore runs. Summer brings larger numbers of billfish.
No recreational fishing license is required for US residents fishing offshore from a licensed charter boat. Puerto Rico falls under federal fishing regulations — your captain holds all required federal and territorial fishing permits. Just show up — all gear, bait and licensing covered.
Everything: USCG-Licensed captain and first mate, all rods, reels, lines and terminal tackle, live and artificial bait, fuel, water, sodas, ice, beer, snacks, a fish box to keep your catch, and fish cleaning and filleting at the end of the trip. You keep every fish you catch.
Depending on target species and sea conditions, our captains fish anywhere from 5 to 30+ miles offshore. The Puerto Rico Trench drop-off begins close to the coast near Fajardo — making offshore fishing more accessible here than almost anywhere else in the Caribbean. Mahi and wahoo are often found on weed lines 10–20 miles out. Billfish and tuna may require going 25–35 miles to the deep blue.
