The Short Answer

Is Fishing Gear Included, or Can We Fish?

Standard private yacht charters — the ones built around Icacos, Palomino, Culebra and Vieques — aren't set up for fishing and don't include fishing rods or tackle. They're designed for cruising, swimming, snorkeling and relaxing at anchor. If fishing is actually what you're after, Boating Puerto Rico's fleet offers dedicated deep-sea and inshore fishing charters as their own separate trip type, with the right gear for that. If you're not sure which fits what your group wants, message us on WhatsApp and we'll point you to the right option.
