Captain Adi made our day on the water unforgettable. From the moment we stepped onto the boat, he brought the perfect mix of professionalism, calm energy, and fun. He knew the ocean like it was his second home—guiding us through the waves, pointing out the best spots, and making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. His patience, his humor, and the way he treated us like family turned a simple boat ride into a memory we’ll talk about forever. Puerto Rico was beautiful, but Captain Adi made it magical.
Manny was an outstanding guide for our 2-hour boat tour! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone had a great experience. He pointed out so many things we would have completely missed on our own, including iguanas, Puerto Rican ducks, and tarpon. He even offered to turn the boat around so we could get better photos, which was such a thoughtful touch. His enthusiasm for the area and wildlife really made the tour special. We learned a lot, saw amazing sights, and never felt rushed. If you're considering a tour, I highly recommend requesting Manny. He truly went above and beyond to make our trip memorable! Thank you, Manny, for a fantastic experience! 🌴🦎🐟🚤
We booked a sunset cruise for our last night in Puerto Rico, and Captain Manny made the trip outstanding. He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and made great conversation with us. He was kind and courteous to other boats and crews, and it was easy to see he is liked and respected by the other captains and crews. After showing us some wildlife and touring several mangroves, he positioned us at the perfect time to watch a beautiful sunset over San Juan. I look forward to coming back to Puerto Rico and going on a charter fishing trip with Manny.
Captain Manny was awesome, he was very knowledgeable about the destination we were going to and also knowledgeable about the history or Puerto Rico...Even tho it was an error in the booking, they mistakenly had our reservation for 11 when it should have been 12, they gave us a discount and still got almost the schedule 2 hours...I will definitely come back to them for all their tours!! - Dmitch
It was perfect! The captain was awesome, he was patient w/ us and tried his best to make sure the kids can swim and enjoy themselves. The sunset was beautiful, he also had drinks (water,& Powerade , even though we brought our own. The kids were so happy and my heart was filled. Def would come back. 10/10 hands down 😊😊
