Offshore Trolling

Mahi-Mahi Fishing in Puerto Rico

Mahi-mahi — also known as dorado — is one of the most popular offshore targets in Puerto Rico, prized for its speed, color, and willingness to strike a trolled bait. Our offshore charters depart from two points on the island: Villa Marina in Fajardo aboard the Cabo 40, and San Juan Bay Marina aboard the Bertram 70 or Bertram 31, both working the drop-offs where mahi-mahi congregate around weed lines, color changes and floating structure.

Also on the Troll

Other Species You Might Hook

Mahi-mahi often share the same offshore water as wahoo and tuna, so a trolling spread set for dorado can also connect with those species on the same pass. Puerto Rico's offshore waters are also known for blue and white marlin, which are handled as tag-and-release per international conservation standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

Where can I go mahi-mahi fishing in Puerto Rico?
We run private offshore mahi-mahi charters from two departure points: the Cabo 40 out of Villa Marina in Fajardo, and the Bertram 70 or Bertram 31 out of San Juan Bay Marina.
What is the best way to catch mahi-mahi in Puerto Rico?
Our captains troll offshore around weed lines, floating debris, color changes and FADs (fish aggregating devices), which are the areas mahi-mahi tend to congregate around.
Can I keep the mahi-mahi I catch?
Yes. Mahi-mahi, wahoo and tuna are yours to take home — we'll clean and bag them at the dock.
What other fish might I catch while targeting mahi-mahi?
Wahoo and tuna are commonly caught on the same offshore trolling spread. Marlin are also present in Puerto Rico's offshore waters and are tagged and released per international conservation standards.
