Deep Republic believes you deserve nothing but the very best. They offer all sorts of trips from chasing tuna schools offshore to catching big cubera inshore.

The boat is a custom-built 30’ fishing machine. This comfortable boat is powered by twin 150 HP Yamaha engines and has plenty of space for up to 8 guests, the captain and deckhand.

The vessel is well-equipped for a productive day on the water.

Deep Republic departs from Herradura Bay and heads out to the most productive spots and honey holes in the area. Your techniques for the day will vary from light and heavy tackle fishing to trolling, jigging, spinning, bottom fishing, and popping or spearfishing. With Sailfish, Marlin, Snapper, Tuna, Grouper, and Mahi Mahi all among the popular catches, it’s hard to resist.

If you have an interest in spearfishing, Capt. Josh is a professional freedive and spearfishing instructor. From shallow reefs to bluewater, he can set you up for the fish of a lifetime. Deep Republic practices Ethical & Sustainable Spearfishing - Fishing for the Future.

The crew will pack some snacks or a light lunch. Shorter trips include fresh fruit and water, while the longer ones will have sandwiches on board. Plus, all keeper fish will be cleaned at the end of the day to get your dinners sorted out!
