6hrs. Offshore Fishing Charter on April 23, 2025
Picked up at our resort was smooth and scecue then was excorted by the driver and handed off to a big marlin chatter employee and he waited with us until handed off to our small boat to get one to the big boat so we weren't left alone at any point in the pick up process and same was with the drop off process. Now for the fishing first mate and captain were very friendly and very easy to get along with We caught 1 barracuda 1 Mahi Mahi 2 tuna And a marlin And we hooked up on the 2 tuna and marlin at the same time and never lost a fish the captain and first mate had to jump in to assist but we landed all 3 fish

Slow bite but top notch all the way
6hrs. Offshore Fishing Charter on January 3, 2025
Booked a 6 hour trip looking for mahi. The morning started a little slow but about 2 hours in we had a hot streak for about an hour then the bite cooled off in the afternoon. Seas were moderate with 6-7 foot rollers so it was a very comfortable albeit a little rocky. At the end of the day we scored 4 barracuda and a nice sized mahi. I can’t say enough good things about the captain and first mate. Capt stayed on the fly bridge and tried his best to get us on the fish and Alfred, the first mate was top notch. The boat was a very comfortable well appointed, clean express equipped with excellent tackle. All in all, it was a great trip and I’m comfortable recommending them.

We wanted a Marlin but just not in the cards. We caught several Mahi Mahi that were great size. Captain Leo and First mate Hector were very experienced and worked so hard to find fish! From start to finish the communication and arrangements were top notch. Any experienced fisherman knows you can’t always catch what you want but this crew made it possible to come back with a cooler full of meat!

6hrs. Offshore Fishing Charter on February 27, 2025
Was upgraded to a private charter, on a bigger boat a free upgrade, because the smaller vessel was in for an unforeseen repair. Big shout out to owner Yustaf for the upgrade and for giving me a private charter. Captain Rosario and First Mate Andy provided a fantastic 6 hour outing. They worked diligently to get on fish, and the bait fish were changed regularly. The transfer van was very clean and both drivers were very courteous. Highly recommend Big Marlin for their professional approach with this client. I will be back for certain.

6hr Deep sea fishing trip

PSA: RUN AND BOOK THIS EXCURSION IF YOU WANT TO FISH IN PUNTA CANA!!! My husband and I went on this excursion while honeymooning in Punta Cana and when I tell you this fishing crew knows what they’re doing and you will have the time of your life I mean it!! This was the best 500$ I have ever spent!!! The first mate had our tackle fixed and poles out in the water almost immediately!! We caught quite a few barracuda and then hooked up to a monster Marlin!! This fishing trip was so exhilarating and while the huge marlin ended up getting off later that day we caught a 200 lb marlin!!! This fishing trip was so nice, from boarding the little boat on the beach, to getting on the big boat further out in the water!! We will definitely be back and we will definitely go deep sea fishing with this crew again!!!!
