Explore Punta Cana’s pristine waters with “Big Marlin Charters”! This much loved fishing destination brings in anglers from all over the world, and it’s no wonder why. Take your fishing adventure to the next level by heading out with this experienced crew and make your trip an unforgettable one!

Your vessel for the day is “Cana,” a 32’ Luhrs. It features a wide hull, making it stable in rough waters and providing you with lots of free space to fight the fish. In between the bites, you can cool off in the cabin and relax on comfy leather couches. To aid you in fighting big fish, Cana is also equipped with a fighting chair. There’s also a flybridge if you want to enjoy the breeze and a marine ladder in case you want to go swimming or snorkeling.

There’s also an onboard toilet, ensuring you and your fellow guests are comfortable all trip long. What’s more, the boat has its own kitchen and multi-media system for your entertainment.

A day out with Big Marlin Charters sees you heading offshore. You’ll target a variety of species, including Mahi Mahi, Blue and White Marlin, Pacific Barracuda, Wahoo, King Mackerel, and Sailfish. The crew is specialized in trolling and heavy tackle and provides all the equipment you need.

That includes Penn International and Shimano rods, reels, and tackle, as well as Rapala lures. On top of that, the crew brings along snacks, drinks, and lunch. At the end of the trip, your catch is cleaned and filleted for easy transport home.

With Big Marlin Charters you can count on getting your hands on that trophy catch! The company’s private van is available for both pickup and dropoff and included.

Great Boat, Great Captain and Mate!
6hrs. Offshore Fishing Charter on January 8, 20262 adults
We are seasoned fishermen in the NJ area and that did NOT prepare us for the 8ft rollers we experienced while we were out there! Unfortunately we both ended up getting crazy seasick (we never get sick and were pretty embarassed) and that affected our trip. However, in the meantime we caught 5 barracuda (can't eat them, kind of a waste), and the Captain (Kelby) and First Mate (Etto) were great. I will say that I didn't expect that all we would do is troll - there wasn't any jigging or casting, it was just trolling back and forth the entire time, but the weather was nice and I don't know if we would have pushed to do more if we weren't feeling so sick.

Well orgaized trip!
6hrs. Offshore Fishing Charter on January 5, 20264 adults
We were booked for a six-hour trip. Unfortunately, we didn't catch anything until the very last minute, when we landed a small barracuda. While the trip didn't turn out the way we had hoped, the crew was genuinely kind and professional. Alfredo went out of his way to try everything possible to accommodate us and make the experience enjoyable. It was also reassuring to know that it was a slow day overall and none of the other boats caught fish either. Despite the outcome, we truly appreciated the crew's effort and hospitality.

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

January fishing trip
Full day (9hrs.) fishing charter on January 23, 20261 adult
The weather had prevented us from leaving, but the captain kept us constantly informed and we were finally able to set sail. It was a spectacular day of fishing. Captain Alfredo and Kelvin were absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend them.

Big Marlin Charter
6hrs. Offshore Fishing Charter on February 27, 20251 adult
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.
