A Family Fishing Adventure to Remember in Punta Cana - I can’t say enough wonderful things about this fishing charter in Punta Cana! I took my two daughters—who are total beginners—and the crew was absolutely fantastic. They were so patient, guiding us step-by-step, making it fun, and even celebrating every small catch. And a special shoutout to Francisco, the owner—he went above and beyond, helping me get my catch safely back to the United States. We felt like part of the family, and the whole day was a magical adventure. If you’re new to fishing or just want a brilliant family outing, this is the charter for you! 🎣✨

Caught 17 big fish! - Francisco treated us great with Roundtrip transportation for our fishing charter and the crew was friendly. We ended up catching 9 mahi and 8 baracuda. I highly recommend.

This excursion is a must!!!! - We booked the nine hour excursion. It was a beautiful day and the boat ride was very enjoyable. They had lots of snacks and sandwiches on the boat for us. Guy and Carlos were great. Unfortunately, the fish weren’t biting, but we were still able to catch 3 barracudas. They were very accommodating and made sure we had a great time.

They are so friendly and knowledgeable
We didn’t manage to catch the target species ( marlin ) however on the previous trip we did
We still caught 33 mahi mahi and a couple of barracudas
Great trip

Great experience, great crew, wonderful memories. Sea sick and all :) - Although our family of 7 became a bit sea sick and unable to finish the fishing charter, we really had as good of a time as possible.
The captain and one crew mate were very friendly, and helpful. When they saw we were not doing so well, they cared for us as much as they could by checking on us, offering waters, trying to steal the boat out of some of the huge waves and even cleaning out vomit buckets with a smile lol
The boat was comfortable, ran properly and they offered as advertised light snack and drinks. They had soda, water, beer and rum. I could not imagine drinking and rum while sea sick so I bet they save lots on that :) They also offered a fruit tray that was nice and cold and sealed.
When returning us they offered to take us to go snorkeling or swimming in shallow ocean waters since we still had time in our reservation. Some of the family wanted to go back to the condo and others wanted to swim. They had no problem what so ever dropping some off at the condo and then returning us back for swimming.
The two people working on the boat, speak pretty good English, I do have some Spanish speaking skills very little but some that helped and talking with them was very easy.
They happen to be located at jellyfish restaurant and for us that was very convenient because we happen to be staying at that location, we did not know this when we booked. So we did not need their transportation but they offered it with ease. It was a great time, sea sick and all. The water was beautiful, I never seen such deep dark blue water and it was a memory I will have for a lifetime. The crew won’t be forgotten either. Absolutely recommend

Great fishing - Great experience. The captain and first mate were fantastic! We caught 5 fish during our time which was more than we expected. Definitely would do this again.

Fairly priced and honest! - Francisco was there to meet us at the van drop-off. He speaks English very well and was able to help us gain access to a hotel's bathroom on the very short walk to the boat.
Once we arrived, Francisco assessed it was not in our best interest to go out that day. He noticed one of our family members not getting around very well with his walker, and the water was fairly choppy that day. Since there is no pier, you must take a smaller boat to the the fishing boat and transition. He said he would still take us but would strongly recommend against it given the shape of our family member.
I'm sure Francisco lost a decent amount of money by turning us away and issuing a full refund. We truly appreciate your assessment and honesty in keeping our family safe- thanks again, Francisco!

Don’t be fooled be prepared - Th driver was half hour late but there a communication error with directions and they made it up with little extra time on water. Guide and captain were amazing , it was a rough start boring , then we ended up catching 4 Mahi mahi and had fun. The good Viator rep referred to us to local restaurant to have our fish cleaned and cooked, Cielo is tha name of the place . Bunch crooks turned what shoudl have been 152$ for food and water for 7 imto $200. Total scam so here is what you do , before you leave resort check with your resort and ask if you can bring cleaned fish back to have it cooked there! Some will some won’t! Do not fall for the oh it’s only $20 per person to have it cleaned and cooked at beach . Also it’s a trolling fishing trip so
They never stop moving just do not expect to go far out and settle in and fish and move on. Overall nice people and fun experience

Very Rough Seas! - Very nice Captain and crew. However, there were a few hiccups. First, it was not the boat that was advertised. The boat wasn't bad, it just wasn't the Mar Quesa that was advertised and told that I would be on. Felt like it was a bait and switch. Also, the seas were very, very rough. So rough that it should have been explained more clearly how rough the really were or the trip cancelled. You couldn't even sit in the fighting chair and reel in a fish as the seas were so rough. It was such a bad experience our son was scared (and got sea sick) and we had to go in. We were only out there a little over an hour. No refund or partial refund was offered. I understand that it was our decision to go back in but probably should have never gone out in the first place. I have been deep sea fishing many times and never experienced water like that and it was referred to as "normal". Again, crew was very nice and helpful but the trip was a waste of $700+. Could have used that money toward much more enjoyable experience!
