Ratings & Reviews Summary
April 4, 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!

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!
