Our family had a great half day experience and would do it again in a heart beat. The crew was top notch. The owner was extremely nice. They even called and asked if we would like to moved our date because they thought the weather wasn’t going to be nice. The only complaint would be the toilet was not working correctly. We did try and do some fishing for the kids, but no luck. If you are wanting to strictly do fishing I don’t believe this is the boat for you. If you want to do some fishing while hanging out with the family in the sun and doing some snorkeling then this is the boat for you.

The Captain and mate were friendly but clearly not an experienced fishing crew. The boat was nice and clean but not at all a fishing boat. The crew had ZERO live bait and only a couple trolling baits. We asked to try bottom fishing after catching zero fish “trolling” and they did not have nearly enough weight for the wind and current so bottom fishing was not possible. We caught one tiny jack the entire trip. My son hooked a nice fish but the cheap cable leader they gave us to use broke with less than 10 lbs. of drag. Basically an expensive boat ride with an unprepared crew.

I had 2 trips with them. One for fishing and one for the family. Both were great success

The fishing trip took us past the reef with a mixture of trolling and fly fishing (I did bring my rod and flies). The crew was top, helping me with the choice of flies lures and bringing great fishing. In 3 hours we had more than 30 fish, 3 rod all bended more than once…. This was a non stop fishing.. The captain stops the boat so I could flyfish, but it was almost not necessary. Most of the time 4-5 jacks were following he one caught and were happy to get the fly :) We had a mixture of fish with white and yellow jacks, snappers, king mackerels and groupers.

the family trip was inshore (before the reefs) and was a lower pace but perfect for a relaxing day with the family. The crew could not stop to be helpful. We had some some snorkelling, the 1st mate was swimming everywhere trying to find some interesting views, and he found a flounder. We went to a “natural pool” ...being in the middle of the sea with 50cm of water is very strange, once again the 1st mate was trying hard and found a stingray and a huge hermit crab… All these with some fishing between the stops and we manage a couple of snappers….

All the admin was great and easy, dealing with them via email, the transport was on time and very friendly. The boats are very clean and well maintain. I would recommend them to everybody (fisherman or family) Just talk to them and explain what you would like.

Not a fishing trip, “captain” kid that took us out had no knowledge of fishing and the 2 poles they had didn’t function correctly.  No bait, but had 1 fake bait on one pole that he used for maybe 10 minutes, and didn’t offer to let us use it the whole trip.  We were on boat 3.5hrs of our 6 hr trip.  We snorkeled about 30 minutes from the marina, nothing special at all, little fish no reef no real excitement.  Then went around 10 minutes into the shallows to stand in the water for a few minutes, rest of the time spent setting on the boat and being hot little shade, and bored kids. Not at all what we expected from other trips to Saona Island and sand bars.  Dirty cooler on board that had a few waters and a couple sodas.  We had some major language barrier issues with the kids on board and could tell they were pushing to get done early for the day.  Most of the time they were on their phones and ignoring us which would be good if we were doing something interesting other than setting on the hot boat.  Last issue was trying to pay for the trip.  After arriving to the dock the kid who I’d guess would have been the captain had no clue how to explain the payment, or how to make it so after 35 minutes of standing on the dock, then several calls texts with the company it got straightened out.  I would recommend any other option of a fishing / snorkeling trip and had high hopes for this with the cost being sort of high.
