A legendary
sportfishing vessel

The Bertram 31 is one of the most iconic offshore fishing boats ever built — proven in blue water, built for offshore conditions, and trusted by serious anglers worldwide. Our Bertram 31 departs from San Juan and heads straight to productive pelagic waters where mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, and marlin are actively feeding.

With an experienced local captain who knows Puerto Rico's offshore grounds, a comfortable cabin, and a spacious fishing cockpit, this is the real Puerto Rico fishing experience.

The Boat

Bertram 31 — a classic offshore hull built for blue water.

The Bertram 31 is one of the most iconic sportfishing boats ever built — its deep-V hull was engineered for offshore blue-water conditions, cutting through chop with a ride that bigger, heavier boats can't match. Intimate and private, she fits up to 6 guests comfortably.

Based out of San Juan Bay Marina, she's perfectly positioned for offshore trips targeting mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, marlin and sailfish. Captain and mate on every charter.
