Punta Cana Deep Sea Fishing Charter: 4 hours offshore

Four hours fighting trophy fish from your own private boat

A private deep sea fishing charter in Punta Cana on the Gone Dog, a 37-foot modern convertible boat equipped with fighting chairs, fly-bridge and a full cabin with bar and shower. You fish for blue marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna and other big game species in offshore waters, with snorkeling gear, cold drinks and hotel pickup included. Trips run 4, 6 or 9 hours depending on the option you choose.

The experience

The boat leaves from Punta Cana and heads offshore to where the big game fish run. You'll fish from the spacious cockpit with a fighting chair and long forward casting platform, or from the fly-bridge if you want a different angle on the water. The cabin stays air-conditioned and stocked with cold drinks, beer, rum and water. You can bring your own too if you prefer. A shower and toilet are on board, so you can rinse off between catches or just cool down when the sun gets intense.

What you're after are trophy-size blue marlin, Atlantic sailfish, yellowfin tuna, barracuda, mahi mahi and wahoo. Whether this is your first time casting a line or you've done this a hundred times, the crew knows the offshore grounds and the fish that are running. The boat is modern, clean and well-maintained, built for comfort as much as fishing: the white leather couches and bar mean downtime doesn't feel like waiting.

A wide swim platform with a marine ladder lets you jump in for snorkeling or just cool off after fighting a fish. Hotel pickup is included, and your guide speaks English and Spanish. You choose the length that fits your day: 4 hours, 6 hours, or a full 9-hour charter.
