VERIFIED Went fishing on Thursday, March 30, 2017
Awesome experience caught a grand slam!! I’ve been fishing for over 25 years and this trip was my first slam. Capt. Darin, Rafael and Leo were very professional. I’ve already recommended Dhara to several experienced fishermen. I will be back in January 2018 and will book with them. A plus charter one of the best I’ve chartered.

The boat, equipment, and crew were great. The rough seas were not. Nothing they can do about the rough seas. I regularly go out 20 - 40 miles offshore in Georgia. I have fished all over my entire life and have never seen conditions like that to fish in. It was to rough to even stand up. We turned around in probably 45 minutes. With that said the crew and boat are very good. If the weather will cooperate I will go out with them anytime.

I had fish in two other charters before I went out on the Dhara an by far this was the best most professional crew,I wish I would’ve not wasted my time with the other boats. Best tackle I had seeing down there an cleanest boat. From here on the Dhara is the boat I will charter every time I go to Punta Cana,plus the other boats couldn’t land a White Marlin for me, but Capt. Daren did,plus three Mahi Mahi

We took a 2-day fishing trip on board Dhara on January 2016. Captain Darrin is very meticulous in his preparation, his experience shows. He was able to quickly locate fish and provided for a memorable experience. We were received with a welcome cocktail and our catch of the day was prepped into ceviche.
The boat in itself is in pristine condition and is outfitted with high quality fishing gear.
Will definitely book another trip with them!Carlos J. Rodriguez recommends Dhara Fishing ChartersFished January 2016

Excellent fishing on board dhara. The captain really know what he’s doing and very dedicated to finding the fish. The boat is perfect for fishing, very spacious and comfortable. We fished two days and raised 8 sailfish and 2 blue marlins plus a few mahis. We had a great time. Recomended 200%
