An spectacular experience From the moment of making the reservations, the attention of the hosts was excellent and the wonderful day in Icacos was the best. Gratitude is an option that would use their services again, it is a 100/10.

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!
