Fish offshore aboard the Sherlock 39ft sport fishing boat with a licensed captain and mate, top-class tackle and beverages included on board. Choose a 4-hour, 6-hour or full-day private charter when you book, with hotel pickup, bait and crew assistance from the moment you leave the dock. Up to six guests share the deck on your party's boat alone.
After hotel collection you meet your captain and mate at the marina for a safety briefing and tackle setup on the Sherlock 39. The boat heads offshore toward deep Caribbean water beyond the reef line, with outriggers deployed and lines rigged for mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna and billfish when season and conditions align.
You fish from the rail or fighting chair with hands-on help from the mate. Longer charters give the captain more time in blue water to work multiple rods and chase bigger pelagic species, while shorter runs still reach productive grounds before the midday heat. Morning starts are typical for the six-hour option when cooler air and calmer seas suit an early run offshore, and beverages stay on hand throughout while you rotate between active lines on the spacious deck.
Charters depart from the Punta Cana area into the Caribbean Sea beyond the Dominican Republic's east coast reef line. The marina sits within easy transfer distance of the Bavaro and Punta Cana resort strip, including properties up to thirty minutes from the dock.
The run offshore follows the reef line that holds baitfish and pelagic species through the year. You return with the resort beaches coming back into view as you tie up at the marina, often with a full camera roll from the day's catches.
No prior deep sea fishing experience is required. The captain and mate assist with casting, hooking and landing fish, making the charter suitable for beginners and experienced anglers alike.
Children aged six and above are welcome with adult supervision. 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.
A private charter means your group keeps every offshore run and photo moment without sharing deck space with strangers. The Sherlock 39 is purpose-equipped for big game fishing with outriggers, a fighting chair and beverages included.
Equipment, bait, instruction and round-trip hotel transfer are included, so you arrive at the dock 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 aboard the Sherlock 39, who welcome the group and outline the day's offshore route.
This is the moment to ask questions about tackle, timing 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 Sherlock steers 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 offshore grounds. The mate assists with hooking, gaffing and photo moments when mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna or billfish come aboard.
Beverages are available throughout while you rotate between active lines and rest breaks on the spacious deck.
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 and transfers you to the marina where you meet the captain and mate aboard the Sherlock 39. After a safety briefing, the boat heads offshore with rods rigged for big game fishing.
The charter is private to your group of up to six guests, so every line and photo moment on deck belongs to your party alone.
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 Sherlock 39 with captain, mate, tackle, beverages and hotel pickup included.
Morning departures are typical for the six-hour option, often around 7:30am. Allow extra time either side for hotel transfers.
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. The Sherlock is equipped for trophy-class offshore fishing when the season is right.
The crew helps with bait selection, hooking and landing so you get the best chance regardless of experience level.
Yes. Top-class rods, reels, tackle, bait and instruction are included. The mate rigs lines before departure and adjusts setup if you want to target billfish or tuna offshore.
You do not need to bring your own gear unless you prefer a specific personal rod and reel.
Private charters accommodate up to six guests in the same party on the Sherlock 39. The deck layout gives room for families or friends to fish and rotate between active lines.
Mention your exact party size when you arrange the trip so the captain and mate can plan seating and briefing time.
Children aged six and above are welcome when accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times on board. Younger children are not recommended for longer offshore charters due to duration and sea conditions.
Life jackets and a safety briefing are covered before you leave the harbour.
Beverages are included during the trip according to your chosen charter package. Bring extra snacks 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.
