Review of Punta Cana’s private 39-foot fishing charter, with expert crew, gear, drinks, hotel pickup, mahi mahi, and big-game potential.
“We took our 11 year old daughter out on a 4 hour fishing trip. Andy the first mate was very helpful and engaging. Just like any fishing charter fish fish caught are not guaranteed, we did catch one good size Mahi Mahi and one barracuda. Andy filleted the Mahi Mahi for us and we took it back to our hotel and they cooked it for us for dinner that evening. Extra bonus we got to encounter a hump back whale swimming past our boat. I would recommend this experience to anyone..”
Review of Fishing Pro Charters in Punta Cana, a private 5-hour outing with fish, drinks, hotel pickup, and real seasickness concerns.
“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”

“VIATOR were brilliant. My pickup time didn't update on the app. Contact Viator as Tour company never replied and they sorted straight away via WhatsApp, very easy - Plus Viator we're so much cheaper than booking via hotel! Started with a good on-time pick up from our hotel. Taken to the Boat Yard and introduced to the shop owner....a bit of pressure to purchase from the shop! Expensive, be carefully. Paid £5 for a can of redbull Popped on a smaller boat and transferred to the Fishing boat. All was good, until we hit very high waves. 3 out of 6 were sick, so choose a calm day if you…”

“Déjà écrit un commentaire sur Tripadvisor sur cette sortie désastreuse. Je tiens juste à préciser que le responsable de cette sortie pêche m’a rembourser suite à mes commentaires et demande de remboursement (115 €).
