I had concerns as the hotel beach club team priced the trip at $800 and told me that i would not find it cheaper. i wanted a 4 hour trip on our own as a family. we were picked up from our hotel on time taken 25 mins straight to the boat. The boat was ready to go and we were underway within minuets. the crew were great and works hard to ensure we caught. i would definitely recommend this trip.

We arrived to the dock and when we boarded our vessel we quickly noticed ours was the most run down of all of them.
We were out by other vessels on the water and every other boat was catching fish. We hooked one, but after looking at the hooks, we quickly realized why we weren't catching any because the hooks the guy was using were so rusted. The equipment was all in really awful shape. We could have easily caught fish had the equipment been better.
It was also really disappointing to watch the first mate and captain just throwing garbage over the side of the ship, and letting garbage fly out.

The crew was great and we caught 3 fish in 15 minutes. Our trip was cut short due to 3 members of our group getting sick. Be warned, this is a deep sea fishing excursion and be ready to ride the waves... all of them. The crew was fun, knowledgeable, and helpful especially when the nausea started for the littles. If we stayed out the whole time, we probably would have caught so much more. We ended up with one Mahi Mahi and two barracuda. Great time even though it was cut short.

I want to share an honest review to help future anglers set expectations. This is not meant to hurt anyone’s business—just to give perspective from someone with offshore fishing experience.
For background, we are avid fishermen with experience offshore and targeting pelagic species. This trip was booked about a week in advance as our travel to the DR was relatively last-minute. Reviews were generally positive, which influenced our decision.
Before booking, I was very clear that we were staying in Cap Cana, at the marina, and wanted pickup and departure from there. I was told this would not be an issue. However, on the morning of the trip, we arrived at the Cap Cana marina only to be called and told a car was waiting for us. We were then driven about 30 minutes to Bávaro.
At that point it became clear that the operation does not actually depart from Punta Cana or Cap Cana, but from Bávaro. We were dropped off in a small alley, walked down to the beach, and transferred via a beach panga to the main boat offshore. This was not communicated in advance and was disappointing given how explicitly we discussed departure location.
I also learned that Francisco, who I had been communicating with extensively and believed to be the captain, was actually the booking coordinator, not the captain of the boat. Again, not a dealbreaker—but something I would have preferred to understand up front.
The vessel itself was older and dated. That’s not necessarily a problem if the boat is solid and capable, but expectations matter. We were told on the beach that we would be running 8–10 miles offshore. Once underway, it became clear that wasn’t going to happen.
The gear was serviceable—Penn and Tiagra 50s and 80s—but lines and lures had clearly seen better days. This trip is much more aligned with a casual, family-friendly fishing experience than something geared toward experienced offshore anglers.
About an hour into the trip, mechanical issues surfaced. The boat lost steering entirely and we had to shut down and wait offshore. After roughly an hour and a half, we were towed back in and the trip was over.
To their credit, Francisco met us on shore and immediately offered a full refund without hesitation, which I appreciated. We also tipped the crew despite the outcome, as they were courteous throughout the situation.
At the price point, this charter may represent reasonable value compared to other destinations—but only if expectations are properly aligned. If you’re an experienced angler looking to run far offshore on a modern boat, this may not be the right fit. If you’re looking for a casual fishing outing while on vacation and are flexible on logistics, it may suit you just fine.
Hopefully this helps someone else make an informed decision.

Hello Mr. Colby, I am very sorry that you did not have a good experience with us. You booked a charter through the Viator app, and the information we have listed does not say that our location is in the Cap Cana marina. The information says that our location is in Plaza Vecarian, next to the Jellyfish restaurant. Also, the day before the excursion, I sent you the pickup details and told you that the pickup would be by bus and that my location was approximately 35 minutes away. Regarding the boat and the engines, approximately two hours into fishing, one of the transmission hoses on one of the engines broke and was leaking lubricant, so the captain was forced to shut off that engine. However, our boat has two engines, and the captain decided to return slowly with one engine until he encountered another boat that we had sent to intercept. They never stopped fishing, and on the way back, they caught barracuda and wahoo. You also received a 100% refund of the money paid. Once again, I am very sorry for what happened.

Great experience even though we didn’t catch a fish.
Great boat ride with friendly and helpful staff.

The Crew was great; we had two individuals get seasick and they took care good care of them. The fishing was slow but so goes fishing. The guys were great to talk to and fun to be around. Will do it again!
David_I, Dec 2025
Kiko was amazing. We didn’t catch a thing and my wife was sick the whole time, yet it was still awesome because of the customer service. TT was a great captain!
Robbie_H, Nov 2025
4 hr trip and landed 4 Dorado. 2 wahoo, had a marlin chase twice and broke off a cuda.
Rough seas but captain and Kico were top notch. Will definitely do it again and again....
Cheryl_C, Sep 2025
The crew was very knowledgeable and took us to great spot. We caught two good size Mahi Mahi each !!
Kevin_S, Aug 2025
Great experience. The crew worked hard to help us catch as many fish as we could. I have done many other fishing tours and I would absolutely do this one again.

These guys are GREAT! We had a wonderful time and caught two Durango fish!! The guys are gentlemen and were helpful.
Daniel_C, Jun 2025
Great experience deep sea fishing with these guys. My kids and I have memories for the rest of our lives! Caught Mahi Mahi and barracuda!
Marty_B, May 2025
This is a great deal on a private fishing trip. I went a different oat a few years ago and caught 15 fish. this time the water was very rought and we only caught 1 WAHOO fish but was the first time I had ever seen one. We also had one that got away. They took us out even though the waves were probably to big which was them going out of their way.
Shawn_G, Mar 2025
Captain and first mate very knowledgeable and friendly. Speak broken English, but will put you on the fish. I was able to catch a marlin and several other fish. Had a great time, would definitely go again. The sea is a little rough in this area. If you get sea sick, might want to try something else.

One of the best fishing experiences I've ever had. Primo and Kico we're amazing. They're expert fishermen and almost instinctively new we're too find fish. It was a really good time.
Mark_B, Oct 2024
These guys are awesome! My group of 3 caught 7 barracudas. They definitely tried to get us on other fish but the barracudas were biting. Great service and highly recommended.
Tyler_M, Sep 2024
The fishing team was so great! They got us out and we were catching fish! We caught three good sized Mahi-Mahi. They provided drinks and were great when we experienced sea sickness. If you’re booking this charter, expect a great time and definitely take medicine to prevent seasickness.

Thank you very much for your good comment, we are very happy to hear that you had a great time. we hope to have you back soon!

Quick transfer from the hotel. Driver was named Junior. Very friendly and spoke good English
Our boat was good. A bit small but OK for 5 people.
Ariel and Primo were the captain and first mate. They were really helpful and friendly. We caught quite a few fish and Primo which was exciting as we're first timers.
The actual time on the boat is 4 hours, not the entire excursion. The boat didn't stop moving the whole time as they trawl the lines looking for a bite.
Note. This is trip is not for those who get seasick or queasy about seeing live fish being caught.

Fabulous day!!! Definitely recommend and we will be back!! Ariel and Primo were extremely knowledgeable and attentive. Explained what they were doing so.we got educated and had a fabulous fishing experience.

My 15 year-old son badly wanted to go deep sea fishing in Punta Cana. I was hesitant (I'm not a fisherman, and I dreaded the potential sea sickness part). My son and I, along with a friend, all took a couple of Dramamine pills and actually didn't have any sea sickness during the 4 hour fishing trip.
That left us to just enjoy the fishing, and what an awesome experience! It started slowly, but after 2 hours on the water we brought in 2 mahi-mahi. Beautiful, big fish. Then it was slow for another hour until we got a big bite! After about a 10 min effort, we reeled in a 5ft long, 100 lb marlin! Truly a moment that my son, friend and I will never forget! Then we caught a barracuda right after that.
Our guides (lead by Primo) were fantastic, and very helpful the entire time. They showed us a great time and definitely made the experience memorable.
We would definitely recommend this fishing experience. Take sea sickness medicine so that you can enjoy the fishing.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Wow, congratulations on your great catch, we are very excited that you had a great time and had the opportunity to catch a Marlin.
It's good that you had an excellent day of fishing with your family.
Thank you so much.
Candace_M, Oct 2023
This was a fantastic trip booked for a party of two. The captain and mate were fantastic and knew where to go to find the fish. They were also so excited for us when we got to reel one in. They were both extremely hospitable and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great time fishing. Skip the shared charters and book this private one. It's well worth it!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a trolling style trip, so the boat is going to be moving for the duration of the experience. If you tend to get seasickness or motion sickness, keep that in mind. If you've never been deep sea fishing, you may want to consider taking Dramamine as a preventative measure.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you very much for your comment and rating, we are very happy that you spent an excellent day of fishing with us.
Your comment about taking Dramamine is very accurate. We always recommend it so that our valued guests can enjoy their trip.
Thank you so much.
Rodney_M, Jul 2023
Overall, a very boring boat ride.
The fish weren’t biting (for our crew…the other part of our family on a different charter caught 9 fish). Maybe it’s luck or maybe it’s the captain…
There wasn’t music or anything else to make the time pass more pleasantly. Which would have been nice since we weren’t actually catching fish.
While the crew didn’t speak English very well, they were very polite and helpful (helping with drinks, getting on the boat, etc).
Response from Host, Jul 2023
We are sorry that your fishing day has not been so good, we take your opinion to be better. Thanks for your visit.
ADAM_E, Jul 2023
The rating is simply for the experience. This trip was pretty much an expensive boat ride.
I expected “Deep Sea Fishing”… Going out atleast 10+ miles…. We never went further than about 3 knots from the island. I tracked it on Navionics. We spent a few hours going an average of 4kph “trolling”…. The bait was still in the wake of the boat, so I’m unsure what species it would have attracted.
The deck hand consistently asking if I needed anything, but other than that, it was the worse skunk I’ve ever experienced… No real proactive fishing
Response from Host, Jul 2023
We are sorry to know that your fishing experience was not pleasant, our Captain has many years of experience in Caribbean waters, he knows the strategic fishing points well, the 6 hour Charters always go to 10 – 12 miles in ALL CHARTERS. That speed is recommended for the type of boat we use, which is programmed via GPS.
We are sorry again that his tours have not been pleasant. We will take his comment as a point of improvement. THANK YOU.
Karen_G, Apr 2023
Our captain and mate (Nelson) were great. They battled the waves and tried hard to help us catch something, but unfortunately it didn't happen for us. We had really big waves the day we traveled. Seasickness is real in the big water and want to warn future travelers to be prepared. Wish we could have caught something, but it was a great adventure either way. (Saw some whales!)
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you for your comment fills us with joy to know that they had a good time, we regret that they have not caught anything, we hope you soon to improve that 🙌
