Fishing Charters Las Terrenas 

We booked the 3 hour morning trip and had the best time! We were picked up from playa Bonita beach at 6.40am and dropped back off right outside our beach residence with plenty of fish which we are going to BBQ tonight! Eugenio was really helpful for us inexperienced fishermen and women, helping us catch the the bigger fish and overall was just a lovely person. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do some fishing in Las Terrenas.

The captain and guide navigated some choppy water very well. My daughter was able to reel in a barracuda which was a life goal for her. I highly recommend.

We booked a 3 hour fishing trip in Las Terranas with Eugenio. I had let my 10 year old son know we might not catch anything but he caught at least 6 fish, and my 8-yr old daughter reeled in 3 or so. They were small fish about 6-8 inches or so, but colorful and my son loved it. We could have caught more but my daughter got a little sea sick and we headed back. We could always see the shore line but did get out quite far. The captain and first mate were not chatty but were helpful with setting up the poles and bait and even dropped us off to our beach front hotel on the boat! It wasn’t a fancy but exactly what we were looking for. Eugenio was great to book with and I would recommend booking with him.

This was the ONE thing we were so excited to do on our trip. We booked this fishing charter, sent a message to the captain through the app with some questions, never heard back. The morning of we woke up at 4am, drove an hour and a half to get to the location, just to find nothing there. The address brings you to a random spot along the beach with no storefront, signs to point you in the right direction, nothing. We walked up and down the street finally finding a building that had fishing marketed on the outside, yet no one was there. We called the phone number on one of the signs which connected us to the owner. He informed us that our captain had lost his phone 3 days prior so he was unaware of this booking. Completely unprofessional. However he did step in to help us out. He showed up within 10 minutes and told us it would be about 30 minutes so he could arrange for us to go out. We agreed. We waited around for more like 45-60 min before everything was ready for us. The boat was smaller than expected. The crew did not speak any english so we could not communicate with them or ask questions. Not their fault, but made it more difficult and took away from the trip. We thought we were going to try multiple types of fishing but the only thing they did was troll the entire time, so we just sat on the boat and watched as they cast the fishing poles. We didn't once get the chance to fish ourselves, learn different techniques, or ask questions. It really took away from the entire experience. Lastly, we booked the 5 hour trip in hopes that giving ourselves more time on the water would increase our chances of catching something. They only took us out for 3 hours, 2.5 hours in they turned the boat around and went straight back, not even trying to fish or hit any of the flagged spots on the way back. Even on the way out, we circled around the flagged spots once. It seems like there was no effort unfortunately. At the end of the day, we did not catch anything or even get any bites. We know thats the gamble with fishing. It was more the way everything unfolded that disappointed us. We hope in the future this fishing charter will cater more to the needs of their paying clients and take tourism more professionally and seriously.
