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.
Reported catch:
Great Barracuda

Half Day Trip on March 10, 20262 adults
It was our first time deep sea fishing and we pulled in 2 big mahi-mahi's, which was such a thrill. Our captain Kelby was working hard to locate the fish for us and both him and Alfredo were there making sure we landed them. But what I really appreciated about this company was their communication. They gave us a heads up about the weather conditions (large waves) and gave us the option to continue as planned, move to other dates they had available, or get a refund. We would definitely book again with them! Thanks for a super fun day!

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.
