Fishing Pro Charter – Divina 35' 

We have had great fishing days in our past, but this was easily a trip that eclipsed all others. Our Captain, Ariel, and his first mate, el Gay, were very friendly, top notch guys. Eager smiles and wanted nothing more than to get us on the fish, and have a great time. From the moment we stepped on board, a cold water to drink, riding up top with Ariel to enjoy the view, and his mate, prepping the deck and gear. Now for tge part that was so amazing, it almost seems surreal. First fish on, a mahi mahi… 10 seconds later, another, my wife in the chair reeling in her first ever ocean fish, and its a double header, both of us landing a mahi mahi at the same time. The reat of our 6 hour voyage was almost a blur, fish after fish, like Ariel could sense where they were… so many we were just cheering and losing track of time. In the small breaks between fish, cold drinks, snacks and a sandwich, thats all we had time for…. then a hoot and holler, another fish on the line… they were cheering us on constantly, and maybe were even having more fun than we were!!! All said and done…. we landed 32 mahi mahi, and 4 barracuda. we also had 4 fish that broke the leaders or got off, right as we were pulling them out of the water, “leader wrapped”. 40 fish at the boat in 6 hours….. it was a dream come true. we ran out of bait, there were so many hits, that el Gay was filleting fish, and getting more bait OUT of the fish we had landed!!! At one time we had 4 fish on lines at the same time…. I’ve never seen that before!!! Two of the most amazing people I’ve met, in the Dominican, treated us like more than clients, “Family” isnt even a strong enough word for how well they treated us. 6 hours of pure laughing, cheering, smiles, fish, encouragement, and camaraderie, that we will NEVER forget. Number of fish aside, BEST FISHING EXPERIENCE EVER.

tookmynson and his buddy as a pre wedding gift for my boy, had an amazing time the crew sorted out transport to and from the boat, had a 6 hour tour, we caught fifteen fish, one monster Mahi-mahi( well bigger then I expected) some wahoo and barracuda. the crew were amazing keeping the lines live with bait, and catering to us. highly recommend xarterung these guys, a solid opperation, If I come back I will 100% try to book them again!

We had a great experience with Fishing Pro Charter – Divina 35'! From start to finish, everything was well organized and professional. We were picked up promptly at our resort and taken to the marina, where Francisco greeted us. He explained how the day would go, answered our questions, and introduced us to our mate, Guy. Guy then took us by a small boat out to the Divina 35', where we met our captain, Carlos. Unfortunately, Mother Nature wasn't exactly on our side. It was windy and rainy, and my daughter and I were seasick for almost the entire trip. The crew couldn't have been more understanding. They even offered to take us back to shore, but we wanted to stick it out so the boys could keep fishing. Guy was absolutely incredible—he checked on us constantly, made sure we were as comfortable as possible, and even "dumped our bucket" more times than I'd like to admit! His kindness and sense of humor made a rough day much easier. They had snacks, sandwiches, and drinks for us. Only my husband took advantage of some beverages. Even though the fishing was slow, my son was excited to catch a fish! That's fishing—you have to remember that no charter can guarantee a full boat, and sometimes the conditions just aren't in your favor. To top it all off, instead of taking us back to the marina, they arranged for a water taxi to drop us off right at our resort, which was such a nice touch and a perfect ending to the day. While I hope for calmer seas next time, I would absolutely book with Captain Carlos, Guy, and Francisco again. Their professionalism, customer service, and genuine care for their guests made all the difference. Highly recommend!

The fish weren’t cooperative, but thats beyond anyone’s control. We still had a great time with Captain Carlos and Mate Eli. They did everything they could to put us on the fish, but, thats why its called “fishing”, not “catching”. The boat and equipment were nice, and we did manage to catch a few Mahi Mahi. Would we have liked to catch more? Hell yes!! Do we blame the crew? Hell No!!!! I’m already looking forward to my next trip on the Divina with Carlos and Eli. Make sure you ask Francisco about cooking your catch, right off the boat and into the restaurant. Mahi Mahi three ways. Even my “anti-fish” son loved it. Of the six of us, 4 had never been deep sea fishing, and 2 had never held a rod in their lives. Everyone had a great time and we’re already talking about “next time”. Book the Divina, you won’t be disappointed, regardless of the catch!!

What a fantastic day. started well with the crew being very frindly and the weather great. started catching Mahi Mahi early and some barracudas as well. Then came my dream fish. We hooked and caught a 150 lbs Blue Marlin. I have been trying to catch one for 15 years. so all told i caught a blue marlin and 15 other fish. trip of a lifetime. crew were fantastic. go book this boat and crew as fast as you can. dont walk run and book this crew and boat. I will remember this trip of my whole life

I have been dreaming of a fishing trip like this since I was a child.. and it did not disappoint! We set out on a 4 hour fishing trip - 2 adults and 4 kids. As expected the kids got seasick, but the crew was super helpful with buckets and cold water. We ended up cathing 1 barracuda and 3 mahi mahi’s and had an amazing day. I could spent my entire vacation fishing if it was allowed by the wife - maybe i would leave the kids at home ;) I can definitely recommend this trip!

the day was amazing it started off slow for the first hour and a half then it was none stop fish after fish for 2 hours i had 16 mahi mahi and 1 barracuda the captain arial and the deckhand guy-(actual name) were such great help as soon as one fish came in another rod was being put in the chair and so on unbelievable i booked the whole boat for me and my gf so i had the pleasure of catching every single fish i was absolutely knackered by the end

Captain Starling, Louis and Kiko making it happen in D.R. From beginning to end a fantastic time. Plenty of food, beer, water and fishing. Kiko and Louis never left a dull moment. Captain kepts us in the game all day. Caught a couple Mahi-mahi and watched a huge hit from a jumping marlin. Didn’t hook the marlin, but the sight of the jump was awesome. Add in some dolphins I couldn’t have asked for better. Hope to see these guys next year. 

I’m an experienced angler, and this was one of the best deep-sea fishing excursions I’ve had. My wife and I went on a 9-hr trip. We trolled and caught 10 fish: 7 mahi mahi and 3 barracuda. While the fishing was strong and the weather was great, the best part was how well-choreographed the experience was. Francisco runs an incredible operation. Communication was clear and timely up front, payment was simple, we were picked up and dropped off at our resort (10-min drive) for no added charge, the entire crew was immensely helpful and friendly, and a nearby beach club was very accommodating by cooking our catch and preparing wonderful food afterward. Several people helped throughout the day to ensure everything was seamless, and we are particularly grateful for Francisco (owner), Carlos (captain), Guy (first mate), and Anthony (driver). Collectively, the team made this a very memorable experience, and I highly recommend them to others.

From snowy New York to the warm shores of the DR, this trip exceeded every expectation. Francisco greeted me on the beach like an old friend after we’d only messaged from 1,500 miles away. Traveling solo, I was immediately welcomed aboard and introduced to Captain Carlo and first mate Guy — and somehow we fell into a rhythm like we’d fished together for years, despite not even speaking the same language. We landed king mackerel, mahi-mahi, and barracuda, but the real catch was the experience itself. Even if I had planned every detail (which I didn’t), it couldn’t have matched what these three incredible men and their team delivered. Truly the trip of a lifetime — many, many thanks!
