I have gone deep sea fishing multiple times. I was excited. I never gone fishing in DR before. Well I could of saved myself some money and fished off the Malecón. I would of caught more fish. Now I’m not upset we didn’t catch but one fish in 7 hours. I’m upset We did not change up anything we threw out 4 lines going about 20 miles per hour. It’s just me and the crew of two so all they had to worry about was me. We literally road out 3.5 hours when we slowed down to turn around we caught... More

The fishing areas in this side Are; Bajo de las minas Dominicus Peñón (their national record 763 lbs) Abanicos All the areas were passed several times. Unfortunately fishing is like that. Probably in punta cana you might have the same luck We only do trolling fishing with velocity 7 to 9 knots if it’s outboard motors. With 20 and 30 penn international rods with balaju bites.

We had a great time with the Consuelo. Captain Bito and John Carlos were really good. They tried as best they could to put us on fish but it just didn’t work out! That’s why it’s called “fishing” not “catching”!! I don’t understand why people leave bad reviews just because they didn’t catch anything. They aren’t true fishermen!! I would highly recommend booking with them and we will book with them again! Keep your hooks wet and your line tight!

Had a great day fishing, got 3 barracuda in 1 1/2 hours. Quiet for a little while and then got about a 40 lbs king fish. The captain,Peter and Joel (hopefully I pronounced it correctly)did a great job of driving and handling the fish. I think they should have a bigger cooler, went to take pictures of the catch and the barracuda were in the cooler were curled up (because cooler is not big enough.

I was actually skeptical about starting at 9 AM, but figured the locals knew how that worked so I went with it. After taking Dramamine 30 minutes before my trip and riding for 45 minutes on the fishing boat, I was sick as hell. Not normal for me. Three or 4 foot waves at that time of day. I’m not sure you could catch anything. Just my opinion.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that you felt seasick during your fishing trip. We understand that it can be uncomfortable, and we strive to provide the best possible experience for all our clients. It’s worth noting that we offer two different schedule options to accommodate varying preferences (9:00AM-1:00PM and 1:30PM-5:30PM). While we don’t have control over the waves, we do find that the wind tends to be calmer during our morning schedule,... More

It’s worth noting that we offer two different schedule options to accommodate varying preferences (9:00AM-1:00PM and 1:30PM-5:30PM). While we don’t have control over the waves, we do find that the wind tends to be calmer during our morning schedule, which may offer a smoother experience.

We appreciate that our crew offered to adjust the plan by visiting the beach, hoping to alleviate any discomfort caused by your seasickness.

We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable fishing experience in the future. To enhance your next trip, would like to offer you a special discount on your next booking with us.
