Bertram doesn't make beach toys. The 70 is a serious offshore platform with the range, fuel capacity, and tower for the kind of fishing the deep waters off San Juan demand. You'll feel the difference the second you clear the inlet — bigger seas, longer runs, and the room to fight a fish the way it's meant to be fought.
We fish a trolling spread — outriggers set, lures and rigged baits trailing behind the boat — covering deep water until the reels start screaming. Onboard you've got a captain with 30+ years on these waters and a crew of experienced anglers who'll set you up, talk you through every strike, and put you on fish.

Do I need a fishing license?
No license required for guests fishing on a licensed charter boat in PR waters. We've got you covered.
Will I get seasick?
The Bertram 70 is a heavy, stable boat — way more comfortable than a small center console offshore. If you're prone to motion sickness, take Bonine or Dramamine the night before and the morning of. Avoid alcohol the night before.
What should I bring?
Sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, a hat, soft-soled shoes (no black soles), and a light long-sleeve shirt for sun protection. Everything else — rods, bait, ice, drinks — is on the boat.
Can we keep the fish?
Absolutely — mahi, wahoo, and tuna are yours to take home. We'll clean and bag them at the dock. Marlin and sailfish are tag-and-release per international conservation standards.
What if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first. If conditions are unsafe, we'll reschedule to a date that works for you. We monitor forecasts closely and will always communicate early.
Can we bring food and drinks?
Yes — guests are welcome to bring their own food and alcoholic beverages. Ice and cooler space is available on board. Water and sodas are included in every charter.
