Deep Sea Fishing Punta Cana

Sport Fishing Adventure in the Caribbean

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Duration 4 or 8 hours (half/full day options)
Group Size Private or shared charters (up to 8 anglers)
Languages English / Spanish
Pickup Included

Overview

The waters off Punta Cana sit on the edge of a deep oceanic trench, which means big-game fish patrol surprisingly close to shore. Our sport-fishing boats are rigged for trolling, bottom fishing, and live-bait techniques. The captain reads the currents, the mate preps the gear, and you do the fighting. Whether you have never held a rod or you chase marlin on three continents, the crew adapts the day to your skill level. Half-day or full-day -- your call.

  • Target blue marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna
  • Fully equipped sport-fishing vessel with outriggers, fighting chair, and live-bait wells
  • Captain and mate handle bait, rigging, and fish landing -- you just reel
  • Beginners get full coaching; experienced anglers can run their own setup
  • Keep your catch and have a local restaurant cook it for dinner

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience?

None. The crew will teach you casting, reeling, and fighting techniques. Seasoned anglers are welcome to bring their own preferences.

Can I keep what I catch?

Absolutely. The mate cleans and fillets your fish on the dock. Many restaurants in the area will prepare it for a small fee.

When is the best season?

Year-round fishing is excellent. Peak marlin season is March through July. Mahi-mahi runs strong in spring and summer. Wahoo and tuna dominate autumn and winter.

I fish Florida regularly and this rivalled any charter I have done stateside. Hooked into a solid mahi within the first hour and the captain put us on wahoo all afternoon. Boat was immaculate.

First time deep-sea fishing and I was blown away. The mate was patient, the gear was quality, and we filled the cooler. Had our catch cooked at the hotel -- best dinner of the trip.
