Had an amazing time on the boat excursion! The crew was professional, friendly, and made the whole trip feel safe and relaxing. The views were stunning, the water was crystal clear, and the snorkeling stop was a highlight. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy the ocean and unwind!

My family had the best time fishing with Captain Luis! My sons loved him and they caught lots of fish. Captain Luis was nice, fun, and knowledgeable! We will definitely use him again. Highly recommend!

Capt. Rafa was a pleasure to spend the morning with. His knowledge of the area and tarpon made the trip a success. He was especially patient and engaging with my 5-year-old son, helping him catch his very first tarpon and even letting him feed the pelicans on the way back to the marina. We’ll definitely book with him again when we return to the area.

We’re a passionate fishing family who traveled all the way from NYC to Puerto Rico for our first family fishing trip. Dad caught a birthday-worthy barracuda while we trolled, and he was the lucky one that day! The captain was fantastic, taking us to the beautiful islands of Icacos and Palomino. While out at sea, the kids were thrilled to spot pods of Atlantic spotted dolphins and sea turtles around Palomino Island. Reel Bless truly made our trip unforgettable!

The guides at Sea Culebra went above and beyond to create a custom tour tailored to our preferences. Our day included a visit to Tortuga Bay, where we enjoyed snorkeling and relaxing on the beautiful beach. The highlight was the unexpectedly impressive lunch they prepared, which exceeded our expectations in both portion size and culinary quality. Alongside the delicious meal, we were provided with ample drinks and snacks throughout the day. Their commitment to ensuring we had a fantastic time truly set this experience apart.
