Top Notch - Phenomenal trip! Owner runs a great operation and made booking / logistics easy. Took my two boys (18/21 yrs) and crushed tarpon consistently for 3 straight days. We came for a shot at big tarpon and they more than delivered. We landed loads of small tarpon, a bunch of BIG tarpon, some big snook, jacks, and even had a caiman jump an artificial. Guides were as good as it gets. I've fished lots of charters and these two went above and beyond in every way. Will definitely be back!

4 Hour Family Charter! - We had a blast! Myself, my wife and 11 and 7 year old sons went on this charter and it did not disappoint! Captain Miguel was amazing and was so good with our boys, which really made the trip special for us. He made sure to put us on the fish and use our time wisely. We caught tarpon, snook, and a barracuda. The best part of this trip is that even with a 4 hour trip, we spent over 3 hours of that actually fishing as opposed to spending too much time driving on the boat. Highly recommend Backwater and Captain Miguel! Thank you, we will be back!

Epic! Tommy was the best guide we have ever fished with - Tommy our guide was legendary . He did everything possible to put us on tons of fish. He was very good at teaching us the best techniques that work to land the fish. We caught a HUGE tarpon & many baby ones. We have fished all over the world and Tommy was the best guide we have experienced hands down in a healthy beautiful fishery

Recommend and don’t let worries about seasickness stop you - it is super calm. - Great experience with Captain Gabbi. Caught tarpon and snapper and fun to hang out while waiting for the fish to bite. No worries about getting seasick - it was smooth as glass.

The best day trip! - This was an amazing trip! I went solo with my guide (Gabriel) who was absolutely wonderful and went out of his way to get a picture of me with my fish for my family. We went for 4 hours and had multiple bites and got one 30-40lb tarpon to the boat. Will absolutely go again. :)

Best in PR - I did my research before booking this charter and it more than paid off. This outfit is TOP NOTCH! The communication prior to departure was great, booking was incredibly easy. I brought my boys here for a birthday and left with the BIGGEST present of all, smiles on their faces and memories that will last a lifetime. Captain Gaby is who made our trip a success his knowledge of the local waters and species is beyond productive. His sense of humor and warm demeanor is what sparked a bond that we hope will last for many years to come. If you’re lolokg to charter here in PR look no further, call and reserve a spot today and tell we sent you. ENJOY! Thank you as well to Captain Migel for being in the right spot at the right time to help capture this on film. Great teamwork! PS we had so much fun we booked another charter for tomorrow!!!

A perfect 2 hour tour - Captain Gaby was awesome - he knew exactly where to go to and helped me wrestle a giant tarpon on the deck before release. He even dropped us off at a local spot for lunch after. It was a perfect day and exactly enough time during our short trip to PR.
