The day started off with a very friendly pick up from our resort and was taken to the marina. This marina doesn’t have a pier so you need to take a smaller boat to get out to main boat. If you have a hard time getting up and down I do warn you of that transfer. For us though it was no issue. We were greeted by the captain and first mate and got immediately to trolling. Within 10 minutes of lines in the water we had an amberjack on the line. And the day just kept on getting better. We rallied 24 fish total. 21 mahi, 2 barracuda, and the 1 amberjack.

Javi was the first mater and was great at constantly checking lines and have all of them in the water. At one point we reeled in 4 mahi within 3 minutes and he handled the chaos flawlessly. The captain maneuvered the boat very well and kept the ride as comfortable as possible.The ice chest was stocked with plenty of water, some soda, some beer, and a bottle of rum if you desire. If you want anything else I would just communicate with the crew beforehand.

Overall,  a great experience from pick up to drop off. Would love to fish with this charter again should we visit the D.R again!

From the start of me booking this charter, everything was amazing. Yustef was very responsive on the lead up to the trip and accommodating any requests I had. We were picked up on time from our hotel and were driven to the boat.
The captain and first mate were amazing. Especially the first mate since the captain was manning the ship up top all day. The first mate was just AWESOME. Cracking jokes, throwing away our trash, offering beers and sandwiches, and of course manning the poles.
We ended up catching a nice white Marlin which was around 70 pounds or so. It was a dream come true. We were able to add 2 mahi mahi as well.
The restaurant next to the doc cooked up our fresh mahi. I think it cost 14$ per person.
Just an overall amazing experience. Definitely recommend. Thanks again big Marlin!

Big group of 14 People with 2 boats operated by “Big Marlin” provided an excellent experience, booking process very easy, pick up was on time, both Fortuna and Sherlock crew did an awesome job. We had to cancel the 3rd boat since the other 4 people couldn’t make it to PUJ 5 days before and the deposit was fully refunded and Yustas fully understood. Total fished 6 mahi mahi or dorado. Recommend any of the 3 boats from Big Marlin.

We have been on fishing trips like this a handful of times but this one was hands down the best yet! Andy and Miguel were outstanding, accomodating, and knowledgeable of the area/fish. My husband and I did the 6 hour trip and it was the perfect amount of time! We caught several mahi mahi and a yellow fin tuna! Can’t wait to come back to fish with them again. Definitely the highlight of our trip!

Andy first mate and captain were both extremely well trained, knowledgeable and friendly.
Nothing was too much trouble and the guys were there to make it the best they could.

Fresh bait, changed regularly, loads of water covered and captains knowledge shared.

Ocean is very choppy and it’s a very wavey ride, advise to take your seasickness tablets!
We managed to find some Dorado which we landed but didn’t get into anything very big…. It’s fishing, another day and it may have been the winner.

Andy was superb, a gent and shared a lot of history on the island.

Overall experience was great.
