We had a great experience on this fishing charter out of Cap Cana! The boat was clean, spacious, and comfortable for our family of eight. The captain and crew worked incredibly hard to put us on fish, and despite the challenging conditions, we caught several fish and had a lot of action.

The seas were very rough that day, and every one of us ended up seasick. Obviously, that’s something no one can control, and safety always comes first. Even though our trip was cut shorter than planned because of the weather, the crew handled everything professionally and made sure we still had a memorable experience.

Fishing isn’t always about perfect conditions or the biggest catch—it’s about the adventure, the stories you’ll tell later, and the memories you make together. Thanks to the crew for giving our family an experience we won’t forget! We would definitely recommend this charter.

My concern when booking a fishing trip in a touristy location is always the lack of effort by the crew because they do this every day/several time a day and i could see how it gets old. This crew/company was fully commited and worked the full 6 hour trip to make it happen. The captain was focused on getting us where we needed to go and switched up the fishing grounds a few times for variation, not for lack of catching. The first and second mate were tirelessly focus on switcing up lures to keep a variation and also to keep the lines clear during sargassum season which is a chore in itself. 100% effort by the crew and it was greatly appreciated.
The fishing grounds here tend to be a bit choppy by default. this was a great size boat to stay relatively comfortable in the swells. You can absolutly still feel the ocean in this boat which is why i wouldnt recommend going any smaller in size.
When we come back we will absolutly be chartering right here with these guys.

Captain and crew were excellent.  They worked really hard for us to catch fish.  The fish just were not biting. We fished 4 hours got 2 barracuda.  Took my 13 year old daughter and her friend for first trip.  Seas were not that rough but they both got sick.  I have fished out of Puerto Rico before and had a similar trip where we didnt catch anything.  If I had to do this trip over I would have targeted bottom fish and just fished off some type of structure.  Of course if we had caught a marlin like the guy did who was sitting by us on the beach did the day before maybe a differnt story.  A lot of the reviews say this area is great for Mahi and sailfish.  They just eluded us today.  Setting up transportation was also very easy.

Our 8hr fishing trip with the Fishing Machine crew was all we could have asked for and more!  We landed 2 nice Mahi within the first 30 minutes of trolling, followed quickly by 2 significantly even larger Mahi.  The Mahi continued to hit throughout the day, totaling 8 landed.  We also landed a nice yellow fin tuna and baracuda.  The biggest highlight of the day was a hard faught battle with a white marlin that we couldn’t get in the boat but made for an exciting challenge.

The crew was very well prepared and worked hard throughout the trip to give us the best experience possible.  Highly recommend!!

The ocean was very rough and a few of the team got sick and the weeds were just a bit much this time of year.  It was tough keeping the baits clean, but the crew worked it!  we had a couple hits and caught a decent Tuna. 

Overall it was a good adventure with a crew I wish we had under better conditions.  They worked really hard for us!
