Big Marlin Charters – "Blue Sky" Open 36 ft.

Come and fish with Big Marlin Charters for trophy-sized monsters. It doesn’t matter if this is your first deep sea fishing experience or you’re an old salt, this crew offers the most fun you can have on the Atlantic Ocean! Led by Captain Yustas Fortuna, an experienced local angler, the crew offers a few exciting trips to make your vacation unforgettable. Come to Punta Cana and make the fishing memories of a lifetime!

Your trip takes place on the Blue Sky, a 36’ Luhrs Open ultimate fishing machine. It can take up to 4 guests, has a wide hull, and is stable on rough water. The stern is comfy and wide and there’s a lot of free space for fighting the fish. The boat will maximize your chances with 5 rods in the water thanks to its long outriggers.

There’s also a large cockpit with a Pompanette fighting chair and a long, forward, overlooking flybridge with coaches. There’s also a convenient and wide swim board with a marine ladder for easy access to the sea for snorkeling, swimming, or relaxing after fishing. On this powerful boat, you can relax and cool down during your fishing trip in the big cabin with white leather couches.

You and the crew will be fishing Blue and White Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, King Mackerel, Sailfish, as well as Great Barracuda. The techniques you can use include deep sea fishing and trolling on heavy tackle. You can keep most of the species you catch and you’re welcome to bring kids on your trip.

The company’s private van can pick you up, take you to the dock, and bring you back to your accommodation. The crew provides all the fishing gear, licenses, a catch cleaning service, along with drinks and even lunch. All this is included in your trip price – there are no hidden fees.

Come fishing with Big Marlin Charters and make lifelong memories on the water!
