Offshore Trolling

Marlin Fishing in Puerto Rico

Blue and white marlin are present through much of the year in Puerto Rico's offshore waters, with activity that can build in the summer. They're one of the most exciting species to hook on an offshore trolling spread, known for their speed and acrobatic runs. Our offshore charters depart from San Juan Bay Marina aboard the Bertram 70 sportfisher and the Bertram 31, both working the same offshore grounds where marlin are commonly encountered.
