Offshore Billfishing

Sailfish Fishing in Puerto Rico

Sailfish are one of the most prized offshore gamefish in Puerto Rico's waters — known for blistering speed, long runs and spectacular jumps. We target them on offshore trolling charters departing from both Villa Marina in Fajardo (aboard the Cabo 40) and San Juan Bay Marina (aboard the Bertram 70 or Bertram 31).

Conservation-Minded Fishing

Tag & Release Practices

Sailfish and marlin are handled as tag-and-release per international conservation standards on our charters. Your captain and mate work quickly to get the fish boat-side for photos, then release it in good condition — so the thrill of the fight doesn't come at the cost of the fishery.
