Half day with half effort

5 Hour Trip4 adults

I know you don't catch fish every time you go fishing but I have been fishing long enough to know when the effort is not there. The entire time we were out we had a rough go of fishing but there was no effort on the side of the crew. One guy sat on his phone the entire time while we drove around in circles near buoys. Not once was there an attempt to change tactics. No lure or bait changes, no change in lure depth or distance from the boat. Just trolling in circles for hours on end. They also took us back an hour early. We were compensated for our hour but hopefully you save your money and not book this trip.

Response from Captain

Hi Nicolas, here Eugenio , I’m very sorry to hear all that, sometimes I’m not myself in the trip and this reviews help me to improve my crew, we have several buoys (fads) at 6000ft deep and usually there you find the fish, it’s a floating device with palm tree leaves so bait stays there , and pelagic loves those spots , we allways start fishing with different lures , and different depths and distance so when we have a fish on we can know better what are they eating , sometimes the fish is no there so we continue going to the next one, I will take action with that captain cause it’s the second time somebody tell me something similar . I understand that all of this won’t happen when there is fish biting , and we are going to put bottom fishing equipment so the next case pelagic is not on our spots we can go bottom fishing , have a nice day

    Amazing morning! Highly recommend!

    3 Hour Trip (MAX 4)2 adults

    We booked the 3 hour morning trip and had the best time! We were picked up from playa Bonita beach at 6.40am and dropped back off right outside our beach residence with plenty of fish which we are going to BBQ tonight! Eugenio was really helpful for us inexperienced fishermen and women, helping us catch the the bigger fish and overall was just a lovely person. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do some fishing in Las Terrenas.

    Great Experience

    3 Hour Trip (MAX 4)2 adults

    The captain and guide navigated some choppy water very well. My daughter was able to reel in a barracuda which was a life goal for her. I highly recommend.

    Exactly what we were looking for!

    3 Hour Trip (MAX 4)3 adults

    We booked a 3 hour fishing trip in Las Terranas with Eugenio. I had let my 10 year old son know we might not catch anything but he caught at least 6 fish, and my 8-yr old daughter reeled in 3 or so. They were small fish about 6-8 inches or so, but colorful and my son loved it. We could have caught more but my daughter got a little sea sick and we headed back. We could always see the shore line but did get out quite far. The captain and first mate were not chatty but were helpful with setting up the poles and bait and even dropped us off to our beach front hotel on the boat! It wasn’t a fancy but exactly what we were looking for. Eugenio was great to book with and I would recommend booking with him.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks Helen for review , sometimes the crew is shy :) , but I will talk to them to be more chatty and explain more
