Run offshore from Punta Cana on a private 32ft Luhrs open express with a licensed captain and mate, five rods in the water and a wide fighting deck built for serious sport fishing. Choose a 4-hour, 6-hour or full-day charter when you book. Hotel pickup, tackle, bait and crew assistance are included so you can focus on the bite from the moment you leave the dock.
After hotel collection you meet your captain at the marina for a safety briefing and tackle setup on the Luhrs 32. The wide hull handles Atlantic swell comfortably, and the crew rigs up to five lines with long outriggers before steering toward productive grounds for mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna and billfish when season and conditions allow.
You fish from the wide stern rail or the fighting chair with hands-on help from the mate. Longer charters give the captain more time to reach deeper water, while a half-day run still packs plenty of action closer to shore. Between bites you can cool down in the air-conditioned cabin with white leather seating, grab drinks and snacks from the galley, and step up to the fly-bridge for a clear view when the crew works a fish to the boat.
Charters depart from the Punta Cana area into the Caribbean Sea beyond the Dominican Republic's east coast, where warm currents attract pelagic species year round. The resort strip at Bavaro and Punta Cana sits within easy transfer distance of the marina, so you spend more time fishing and less time travelling.
Most resorts along the Bavaro and Punta Cana coast are a short drive from the dock, and you return the same way when the charter ends. Sandy beaches and palm-lined shore stay in view as you come back through the harbour, often with fresh sea air and the day's catch stories still on deck.
No prior deep sea fishing experience is required. The captain and crew assist with casting, hooking and landing fish, making the charter suitable for beginners and experienced anglers alike.
If anyone in your group has limited mobility or wants extra help boarding, mention it beforehand so the crew can be ready at the dock. Life jackets are provided and the safety briefing covers deck etiquette before lines go in the water.
A private boat means your group keeps every catch attempt and photo moment without sharing space with strangers. The Luhrs 32 is set up for multiple lines and a proper fighting chair when a big fish takes the bait.
Rods, bait, tackle and hotel transfers are already taken care of, so you step aboard ready to fish. With 4-hour, 6-hour and full-day options on the same boat, you can match the trip length to your schedule and how far offshore you want to run.
Your driver collects you from your Punta Cana or Bavaro hotel and transfers you to the marina meeting point. You meet your licensed captain and mate, who welcome the group and outline the day's offshore route on the Luhrs 32.
This is the moment to ask questions about tackle, seating and what to expect once you leave the harbour.
The crew runs through safety on deck, demonstrates the fighting chair and rigs rods with bait suited to offshore species. Once everyone is settled, the boat heads out through the harbour toward deep water with outriggers deployed.
Guides share local knowledge about seasonal fish movements as you leave the coastline behind.
Fish from the rail or fighting chair as the captain positions the boat over productive grounds beyond the reef line. The crew assists with hooking, gaffing and photo moments when mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna or billfish come aboard.
Multiple rods stay in the water when conditions allow, and you can cool down in the cabin between active bites.
When fishing time ends, the crew stows gear and steers back toward Punta Cana marina. After you step ashore, your driver returns you to your hotel with stories and photos from the offshore run.
Allow a little flexibility at the end of the day in case sea conditions or a late catch extends time on the water slightly.
Your driver collects you from your Punta Cana or Bavaro hotel lobby or main gate and transfers you to the marina where you meet the captain and mate. After a short safety briefing, the Luhrs 32 open express heads offshore with rods rigged and outriggers set.
The boat is private to your group, so you keep every cast and photo moment without sharing deck space with other parties.
Yes. Round-trip hotel pickup across the Punta Cana and Bavaro resort area is included in the charter price, so you do not need to arrange your own transport to the dock.
Share your hotel name and room details beforehand so the driver can confirm your collection window the day before departure.
You choose your charter length when you book: 4 hours, 6 hours or a full day on the water. Each option is a private trip on the same Luhrs 32 with captain, mate, tackle and hotel pickup included.
Allow extra time either side for transfers from your hotel to the marina and back.
Caribbean waters off Punta Cana produce mahi-mahi, wahoo, barracuda, yellowfin tuna and king mackerel, with blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish possible depending on season and conditions. No catch is guaranteed, but local captains know productive grounds and adapt the route on the day.
The crew helps with bait selection, hooking and landing so you get the best chance regardless of experience level.
Yes. Rods, reels, tackle, bait and basic instruction are included. The crew rigs lines before you leave the dock and adjusts setup if you want to target different species offshore.
You do not need to bring your own gear unless you prefer a specific personal rod and reel.
Private charters run from one guest upward. The wide stern and fighting chair give plenty of room to work a fish, and multiple rods can be set when conditions allow.
Mention your party size when you arrange the trip so the crew can plan seating and briefing time on deck.
There is no strict minimum age on private charters, but children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times on board. For very young children, speak with the crew beforehand so you can confirm sea conditions and duration suit your family.
Life jackets and safety briefing are covered before you leave the harbour.
Drinks and snacks are included according to your chosen charter package. Bring extra snacks or specific drinks if you want something beyond what is provided on board.
Stay hydrated in the tropical sun and bring a light jacket if you are sensitive to breeze offshore.
Wear light clothing, non-slip shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat. A small dry bag for phone and wallet is useful on a wet deck.
Bring a camera for catch photos so the crew can help capture the moment when a fish comes aboard.
Many guests enjoy photos with their catch on deck before release or local processing, depending on species and regulations on the day. Ask your captain at the marina if you want fish prepared for takeaway.
The crew is happy to help with photos and gaffing so you can focus on the fight and the view offshore.
