Fish offshore aboard the Fortuna, a modern 42ft Ocean Super Sport yacht with room for up to eight anglers, a licensed captain and two mates, and top-class deep sea tackle. The wide deck, fighting chair and clean interior give your group space to work multiple lines while hotel pickup, bait and crew assistance are included from the moment you leave the dock.
After hotel collection you meet your captain and two mates at the marina for a safety briefing and tackle setup on the Fortuna 42. The yacht heads offshore toward deep Caribbean water where mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna and billfish run when season and conditions align, with outriggers set and top-class rods ready before you leave the harbour.
With two mates on deck, every angler gets hands-on help at the rail or fighting chair without waiting in line. The six-hour window gives the captain time to reach productive offshore grounds and lets larger groups rotate between active lines. Drinks and snacks are on board throughout, and the clean interior gives you shade and space to regroup, stow cameras and swap anglers at the chair when the action heats up.
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 Bavaro and Punta Cana resort strip sits within easy transfer distance of the marina.
The Fortuna runs from docks close to the main hotel zones, so larger groups can gather at the marina without a long transfer. On the return leg you come back along the same coast with the reef behind you and the resort shoreline ahead, often with a full camera roll from the day's catches.
No prior deep sea fishing experience is required. The captain and two mates assist with casting, hooking and landing fish, making the charter suitable for beginners and experienced anglers in larger groups.
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 42ft yacht with two mates means larger groups keep every catch attempt without waiting for crew attention. The Fortuna is purpose-equipped for offshore sport fishing with outriggers, a fighting chair and a comfortable deck layout.
Equipment, bait, instruction and round-trip hotel transfer are included, so your group arrives at the dock ready to fish. Up to eight anglers can spread across the deck with room to work fish properly, which makes this a natural fit for friends, families or corporate groups who want one private boat offshore.
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 two mates aboard the Fortuna 42ft yacht, who welcome the group and outline the day's offshore route.
This is the moment to ask questions about tackle, group 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 yacht steers out through the harbour toward deep water with outriggers deployed.
Two mates 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 yacht over productive offshore grounds. The two mates assist 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 anglers can 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 two mates aboard the Fortuna 42ft yacht. After a safety briefing, the yacht heads offshore with rods rigged for deep sea sport fishing.
The yacht is private to your group, so up to eight anglers share the deck without mixing 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.
Plan for approximately six hours of fishing time on the water, plus transfer time from hotel pickup to marina return. The captain steers toward productive offshore grounds where billfish, tuna and mahi-mahi run when conditions allow.
Keep your morning or afternoon flexible in case the crew recommends a slightly longer run to blue water.
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 Fortuna is equipped for trophy-class offshore fishing when the season is right.
The crew helps with bait selection, hooking and landing so every angler in your group gets hands-on support.
Yes. Top-class rods, reels, tackle, bait and instruction are included. The two mates rig lines before departure and adjust 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 eight anglers in the same party on the Fortuna 42ft yacht. The spacious deck and fighting chair give room for larger groups to fish and rotate between active lines.
Mention your exact party size when you arrange the trip so the captain and two mates can plan seating and briefing time.
There is no strict minimum age on private charters, but children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times on board. Larger groups with children should speak with the crew beforehand about family plans on deck.
Life jackets and a safety briefing are covered before you leave the harbour.
Drinks and snacks are included during the trip according to this charter package. Bring extra snacks if you want something beyond what is provided on board.
Stay hydrated in the tropical sun and use the yacht cabin if you want shade between bites.
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.
