I booked this trip for my husband and his 2 friends that were on vacation with us. The guys had a great time and caught a big mahi. I booked online and the captain came to our resort to pick them up and drop them off. Well worth $400 for private charter. The guys could’ve kept fish but they let the captain have it seeing we were at all inclusive. Good time- couldn’t ask for anything else. Captain Nelson was very nice guy with good information on what to do in the area if we want to venture out. Would highly recommend!!!

We enjoyed a fun afternoon of fishing on 1-1-23. The weather was great, the boat was nice (including a bathroom), the variety of chips and drinks was great (along with some delicious pineapple), and I got to soak up the sun while my husband reeled in three fish! Our captain Alex and first mate were very friendly and personable. They were constantly asking if we needed anything and made it obvious that they wanted us to have a good time. And we definitely did! We were staying in Sosua and High Z’s provided free hotel pickup and drop off - very much appreciated. The only thing that was missing, and that I had hoped for, was to have a suggestion for us to keep and take our mahi-mahi somewhere to be prepared for us. I know it wasn’t “included,” so all is well. We would definitely recommend booking with High Z’s!

I want to make sure everyone understands the fishing in the Dominican, the captain and crew works hard to put you on fish , I targeted a marlin in which they rig completely different than the other fish , you spend a lot of time trolling which gets very boring at times for a chance to catch a marlin 200 plus.  I would highly suggest if you have kids or get bored fast , tell captain Nelson to bring rigging for other fish including bottom fishing , marlin aren’t there by the 1000s so the chance of catching one, is a luck of the draw but when you do it’s amazing .
I did end of with some barracuda and a wahoo in which he offered to cook for me, but I was headed to dinner with friends , his English is good , he took and showed me his house , made me a drink while waiting for my ride , they picked me up 45 min away at hotel , was on time and ready to go , I brought snacks in which I did not need , he had sandwiches, chips , fruit , drinks , was a tough day fishing but it happens, it’s fishing not catching , they did all they could do , we ran 20 miles plus looking for them , water was dirty which made the marlin spread out captain said
I would definitely use him again , he offered me to stay at his house by beach to go try again but was limited on time before heading home ,and to mention he had pump trouble on motor nite before and worked till 2am replacing it, so as not to cancel , the man and crew worked hard I’m telling ya , just wasn’t my day for a blue marlin , but will for sure be back to give it another shot , he will give you his private number to keep in touch
Sure liked Nelson and his son Nelson jr
And Jacob , they some funny people

We had a great time. The weather was cloudy and rainy, and, the seas were ROUGH! Captain Nelson and first mate(so bad of me to not have the name) but I was one of the many who were having a bad time with the roughness of the trip. Both of them did their best to make the trip enjoyable for those that were sick. First mate did an excellent job getting people to the railing, holding hair, and them.
The lucky 2 that were not sick were entertained by the first mate, fed drinks if they wanted them and they were able to hook up and catch 2 Dorado(Mahi Mahi).
Captain Nelson and “first mate” were friendly, welcoming, and just a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend booking their charter
