Anyone have any charter recommendations in punta cana. We are going the end of march. Anyone know what might be biting? And would it be worth the money to go trolling.
White Marlin should be there. Didn’t go to fish, but the resort offered half day trips for $100.Taxi was included. Couldn’t pass after seeing pics from a guest that went that morning. They caught two whites, we caught 1 wahoo. 6 pack on boat, 4 from our resort. Easiest fishing I’ve ever done. Couldn’t begin to tell you the name of charter. Excellence was the resort.
I’m going in late Feb. Where are you guys staying?

We rented a condo not sure of the name. Think it’s at Navarro on Cale Russia. Let me know if you fish or find anything cool to do.

Will do, I’m there on business with a bunch of things planned, staying at the Hard Rock. Work hard by day, but nights should be fun.
Taking my wife down the weekend before, probably just hanging out in whichever resort we decide on. After she leaves, I’ll be there before my coworkers arrive on Monday afternoon. pilapir’s $100 trip is tempting to follow up.
I hear bad things about being outside of resorts in the DR, third world kind of experience if you get off of the beaten paths.

Was in a hurry on my first reply. As I said, we had a good time. If I could do it again, I would offer an extra $20 for every marlin brought to the boat. $20 goes a long way down there. We left our resort,took 30 min taxi to another guarded/gated resort. Loaded in small skiff on beach, and 1/4 mile ride to 40’ sportfisher. Trolled maybe 8 miles off beach, with great view of mountains/big hills. All booked at resort. Was the only time I left the resort. Something about armed guards with long guns at every gated resort had me laying low. Would it be worth the money to go trolling? I would do it again in a heartbeat if I were ever in Punta Cana again.
We just booked at the Grand Palladium on a friend’s recommendation. I’m going to check with the desk when I get there about charter opportunities on Monday between her leaving and my coworkers arriving.

What time did you have to be at the boat? Even on a trip like this, I’m having to book conf calls with Europeans. I can get up early and do it to allow me to get to the boat, but wondered what time fishing starts when you have 8 miles to get to the spot!
