Puerto Rico offers top class Deep Sea Fishing around the island. The ocean drops thousands of feet in a short run from the dock on most coasts. A whole array of offshore species can be caught year round in this Caribbean island, especially blue marlin, sailfish, dolphin fish, wahoo and tuna.

There are seasons during which they can be found in greater numbers. The blue marlin run starts on the south coast from April through July, while in the north coast it starts in June and ends in August. Around the Mona Channel off the west coast, the season runs from July through October. The dolphin fish runs significantly bigger on the Caribbean or south coast of the island, from November through May.

White marlins are most frequent from January through May, peaking in April. They average 45 to 60 pounds and provide good action when the blues cool off.
Rigged fishing boats are available for charter in San Juan, Isla Verde, Humacao and Fajardo. Boats range in size from 28 to 61 feet. Smaller boats sized from 17 to 20 feet are available for harbor and lagoon fishing.
