It’s good

Kayla_T, Oct 2025

We were scheduled to go fish when the waters weren’t safe, we were notified with plenty of time and were even able to reschedule for a calmer day. We were picked up on time, and no issues getting to the boat. We were promptly on our way, while our kiddo got sick and we had to turn back earlier than we planned the captain and first mate were understanding and got us back safely. We did manage to catch a fish while we were out, too!

Amazing experience. Very...

Robert_R, Aug 2025

Amazing experience. Very professional and hard working captain and first mate. Only thing we wish we knew was how expensive the restaurant was where we got our fish cooked. Jellyfin charged us $25 per person (4 people) to cook the 1 fileted mahi mahi.

It was cancelled when we showed up

Carrie_D, May 2024

Unfortunately the trip was cancelled when we showed up at boat. Said his motor was messed up. I would have thought he would have found a fellow fisherman or the company would have found us another charter. But nope it was just a sorry it’s cancelled.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hello Carrie_D and thanks for the time you spent on the review. Fishing was canceled due to the second engine trying to stall when adding rpm. The injectors were not injecting properly into the cylinders. Water was getting into the fuel system because the separator was filled with low quality fuel. We are in the Dominican Republic and this can happen a few times a year. Every boat has two diesel engines. And they're supposed to run. Every motor yacht is like your car but with two engines. It can happen to your car, it can break down at any time. For example, you try to start the engine and the battery is dead. The same thing can happen to you at any time. And we don't use the latest secret nanotechnology. The captain could go inshore along the beach for couple miles or snorkel with one engine. But not on the open ocean. We always have your safety in mind. I couldn't offer you anything because in a similar company all the boats were occupied. And in another company the boats were so ugly that my conscience could not offer you anything. I am very sorry that the train was canceled, and I apologize to you from the bottom of my heart. Believe me, if there was anything I could offer you, I would. God bless you. My best wishes. Captain Yustas Fortuna

It was ok, great service not great fishing

Jeremy_B, May 2024

We didn't catch anything but a bad day. fishing is better than a good day at work. The ride was great though.

Eddy and Will

Lyle_F, May 2024

We were taken deep sea fishing on 6-8 foot swells. We felt completely safe the entire time. We only caught 4 fish but Eddy worked his a$$ off to get the fish on and in the boat. He was a joy to work with. If I go back to Punta Cana, I will definitely be calling Big Marlin again for a great experience!

Best trip ever 👍

Caroline_M, Jun 2023

Had a fantastic day! Did t think we were goi g to catch anything then out of nowhere we caught a 300 lb blue Marlon, was tremendous 😃 guys on boat looked after us well and we had the best day. Will definitely be back to try and catch something f bigger next time!!🤣🤣

Awesome fishing trip!!!

Elizabeth_L, Jun 2022

Great experience. Captain and crew were excellent. Would highly recommend this charter. Fishing was excellent and the crew go beyond to make you comfortable.

Wish we were able to fish

John_L, Mar 2022

Eddie and the Captain were excellent but the seas were to rough for us. They tried everything to make it an enjoyable experience but it was too rough.

Eddie was really great. ...

Braden_K, Nov 2021

Eddie was really great. Unfortunately my son got sea sick and we didn’t catch a lot but that’s fishing and they have no control over getting sick!

Best out of the 8 charters I've done

john_d, Sep 2021

Been on 7 other trips, caught 10 Mahi, couple of barracuda. Best value and Best fishing Ive ever had. Definately recommend. Incredible.

Great experience!!!

Tucker_M, Jun 2021

We had a great time start to finish. The captain first mate and owner were fabulous. They made us feel welcome, safe and ensured that we had a good time. Would highly recommend captain Yustas and his crew. Looking forward to our next trip!!! Caught several fish and laughed a lot. Cannot say enough great things about the excursion.

The people in charge of the boat,...

Mnd_S, Oct 2026

The people in charge of the boat did not stop to fish, they just drove us around, and the intention was to stop somewhere to fish. Unfortunately, they never stopped and were going very fast

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Estimado cliente Mind_S Gracias por comentario. Lamentamos que su experiencia no haya cumplido sus expectativas. Por lo que describe, parece que esta fue su primera vez pescando con la técnica de trolling (curricán) y entendemos que puede resultar confuso si no se conoce el método. En el trolling el barco no se detiene: navega de forma constante a una velocidad de 7 a 8 nudos, arrastrando los señuelos detrás de la embarcación. Los peces pelágicos, como el dorado, el wahoo o el atún, detectan el señuelo en movimiento y lo atacan a toda velocidad. Detener el barco sería contraproducente porque el señuelo dejaría de parecer una presa viva. Nuestra tripulación no daba vueltas sin rumbo, sino que seguía las zonas donde la pesca es más probable. Cabe señalar que este método de pesca está descrito claramente en la página de la reserva en Viator, y esperamos que los pescadores que contratan esta excursión conozcan la técnica o se informen sobre ella antes de reservar. Gracias por su opinión. Esperamos poder ofrecerle una mejor experiencia en el futuro. Atentamente Capt. Yustas Fortuna
