Caribbean Fly-fishing Company
Fishing is sublime in Vieques. Imagine Florida Keys with about one-tenth of the fishermen and enough bonefish, tarpon and permit to stock a mini ocean. Fishing boats can also allow you access to isolated stretches of coastline in the former naval zone. Caribbean Fly-fishing Company has received a favorable New York Times review.

Golden Heron Ecotours
Golden Heron Ecotours offers excellent snorkeling trips to almost virgin reefs that are reachable only by motorboat. The company only uses the boats of local fishermen and has a strong environmental ethos (helping people protect rather than exploit their local landscapes). Boats for up to six people can be chartered and the trip with a qualified guide lasts all day. Children are welcome.
