If you want a fishing experience in the Dominican Republic that you will remember, then pay a visit to High Z’s Fishing Tour. Captain Nelson Herrera has got over 36 years of experience and has won numerous respectable billfish tournaments. Rest assured that the captain will do everything he can to help you reel in a trophy fish! When booking between May and July, it’s safe to say that you will definitely catch Marlin because those months bring loads of this prized species. Join Captain Nelson in Puerto Plata and embark on your fishing adventure!
The boat you will be using is a 50’ Luhrs sport fishing boat that fits 15 guests. It’s powered by twin 750 HP Detroit engines and has got modern GPS, fishfinder, as well as radio electronics used for efficient navigation. The boat uses downriggers and spearfishing gear and features various amenities that will make your trip as enjoyable as possible. This includes air-conditioning, a multimedia system, TV, refrigerator, and ice-box, as well as a first mate. You can also use the flybridge, toilet, kitchen, shower, and bed.
The species you can target on your trip are Blue and White Marlin, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Great Barracuda, Kingfish, and Sailfish. To reel them in, you can bottom fish, deep sea fish, and jig, using heavy tackle. You will be keeping the fish you catch. Also, keep in mind that smoking is not allowed.
All your kids are welcome to join aboard and the captain will provide life jackets for them. Captain Nelson will take care of all the fishing tackle, bait, catch cleaning, as well as fruit, sandwiches, beer, soft drinks, and water.
All you should do is bring your fishing licenses and prepare for a wonderful fishing trip in the Dominican Republic!

Full Day Trip
Chartered with capt Nelson and had an awesome experience. He picked us up at our hotel and took all 9 of us to the boat. The boat had plenty of snacks beer, water and sandwiches, they also had the best fresh pineapple I have ever had. The weather started of nasty with some rain and choppy water but improved as Capt Nelson promised. We went for an all day charter and caught 3 fish. We caught a large tuna, barracuda and one Mahi. Capt Nelson to a 25lb fillet home and grilled some and made some sashimi both were delicious and couldn’t eat enough. I would highly recommend High Z’s to take a charter through.

3/4 Day Trip
If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, the deep sea fishing trip we took in the Dominican Republic is definitely worth considering. From start to finish, the adventure was packed with excitement, stunning ocean views, and the thrill of the catch! Our group of family and friends set out early in the morning aboard a spacious, well-equipped boat. The crew was professional and friendly, providing all the gear we needed and explaining the process in detail. The waters off the Dominican coast are rich with marine life, and it wasn’t long before we started seeing action. Within a few hours, we had already reeled in several impressive catches, with a variety of species—from colorful dorado to hard-fighting wahoos and a couple barracudas! Overall, we ended the day with 13 fish caught, which felt like a great haul, considering the challenges of deep sea fishing. The crew was fantastic in making sure we had everything we needed to keep our lines tight and the experience fun. They even shared some tips on techniques and the best times to fish, making us feel like real pros. Beyond the fishing itself, the experience was made all the more enjoyable by the incredible backdrop of the turquoise Caribbean waters and the refreshing sea breeze. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, the Dominican Republic offers an accessible and exciting environment for deep sea fishing. For anyone considering this adventure, I’d highly recommend it! It’s a thrilling way to explore the waters and, of course, come away with a great story (and some delicious fish) to share!

Excellent crew and boat, professional and friendly staff. Although the season was not the best one for big game a day fishing beats always time in office. We caught fish and one of us her first deep sea catches, how happy she was! Recommend this company!

3/4 Day Trip
We booked two 3/4 day trips with High Z’s and had a blast both days. First day we had 3 adults and 4 twelve year olds. We took the 50’ boat out the first day. Caught nothing but a buzz and a good time that day as the weather was pouring torrential rain down on the island. We stayed dry on the boat but feel the weather definitely was a factor in the lack of hungry fish. My son had such a great time the first day we booked a second trip for just the two of us on the 35’ boat. Lucky for us we had the same captain and first mate who we loved. The second trip was a huge success. We both hooked up with two fish each! Smiles all across the board. Would highly recommend High Z’s. Great boats great guys! Can’t wait to come back again.
