Identity Verified
Captain Luis was born and raised in the vibrant coastal town of Dorado, Puerto Rico, where his deep-rooted connection to the North Coast has shaped his life from a very young age. Growing up in this picturesque town, Luis was captivated by the sea and developed an early passion for fishing. From his childhood days, he could often be found on the water every weekend, exploring the rich marine life with his friends and participating in numerous fishing tournaments that were held across the island. These formative years allowed him to master various light tackle techniques and lay the groundwork for a lifelong career in fishing.
With over 30 years of fishing experience under his belt and 21 years of professional charter service, Captain Luis has become a revered expert in the field. His journey began on the local waters, but his ambition led him to work as a mate on offshore sport fishing charter boats, where he honed his skills and gained valuable experience. By the late 1990s, he had achieved a significant milestone in his career: earning his U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s License. This accomplishment marked the beginning of a new chapter in his professional life, as he started captaining private sport fishing yachts and offering inshore fishing charters.

As a 100-ton Master Captain and a proud member of esteemed organizations such as the Puerto Rico Light Tackle Anglers Club, the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), and the Puerto Rico Sportfishing Association, he is well-respected in the angling community. His extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for fishing are evident in every charter he leads.
Captain Luis is dedicated to sharing the wonders of the "Isla del Encanto" with anglers of all skill levels. Whether you are interested in deep-sea fishing, inshore adventures, flats fishing, or exploring freshwater lakes, he offers a diverse range of fishing experiences. His charters cater to various fishing techniques, including artificial lure fishing, cut bait fishing, fly fishing, jigging, light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, sight casting, topwater fishing, and trolling.
With his expertise and commitment to excellence, he ensures that every fishing trip is not only successful but also a memorable adventure for everyone on board. so, what are you waiting for? Come and join the fun!

Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 10, 2025
We had an incredible time with Captain Luis on a reef fishing adventure for our family of five, which included myself, my wife, and our three boys (ages 8, 11, and 14). The 20 ft boat was a bit tight for space, but it didn’t hinder our fun. We ended up catching over 25 fish, including a huge red snapper and several smaller groupers. This was a hands-on experience where everyone, except my wife, got to cast jigs and reel in their catch. Although it wasn’t the cheapest excursion, it was definitely worth it. Captain Luis was super friendly and chatted with us throughout the trip, sharing insights about Dorado and Puerto Rico and even offering restaurant recommendations. We had a fantastic time and would definitely book another trip with him!

Our fishing trip with Captain Luis was absolutely fantastic! He was extremely professional, friendly, and brought a wealth of fishing knowledge to the experience. We started catching fish right away and kept up the action throughout the trip. Every cent spent was worth it for such a great day on the water. Thank you, Captain Luis—this experience deserves a full five stars!

Our half-day deep sea fishing trip with Captain Luis and his first mate, Lewis, was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, their expertise and professionalism ensured that we had an amazing time out on the water. Both Captain Luis and Lewis were incredibly knowledgeable, and their skillful techniques helped us have a very successful day of fishing. One of the highlights of the trip was how Captain Luis went above and beyond by making reservations for us at a local restaurant, where we enjoyed a delicious meal made from our fresh catch. It was the perfect way to end an unforgettable day of fishing. We can’t thank Captain Luis and Lewis enough for their great service and attention to detail. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait for the chance to join them for another fishing adventure in the future. A huge thank you for a memorable experience—we look forward to coming back soon!

While on a six-day vacation at Dorado Beach, we booked a half-day reef fishing trip with Captain Luis, and it was a fantastic experience. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the new tackle provided was perfectly suited for our reef fishing adventure. We caught some great fish and enjoyed every minute of it. My only regret was not being able to take the fish back to enjoy at our accommodation since we were leaving that day. As an experienced fisherman, I highly recommend booking a charter with Captain Luis!
