The choice between a convertible boat and an open express depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you are looking for a boat with a large saloon and and large sofas and you or your kids plan to be inside for long periods of time while fishing in various conditions, then a convertible boat will be a better option. If you prefer sport fishing and want to have maximum freedom of movement and be as close to the fighting chair as possible, then the Open Express is your choice.

We take great care in selecting our fishing equipment. And we give preference only to already well proven models and brands of reels and rods. Over the years the Penn International 50 and Shimano Taigra 50 reels have proven their reliability in catching trophy fish. These reels will not let you down when it comes to catching Blue Marlin, White marlin, Atlantic Sailfish, Great Barracuda, Yellowfin Tuna and Mahi Mahi(Dorado), Wahoo and others depend from the Punta Cana fishing season… At Big Marlin Fishing Charters Punta Cana we use Penn rods and other brand name equipment.

We had a great time! Our 1st mate Alex was awesome!! He made sure we were happy, entertained, and comfortable. He made sure our baits were fresh checking them regularly. We ended up catching 4 barracudas, 2 mahi mahi’s, and a rainbow runner. We also lost 2 other mahi’s and saw a marlin surface by our close baits but no hit. I would definitely do it again!! Boat was clean and well kept. Captain did a great job working hard to find fish.

Amazing trip out to go deep sea fishing on the Sherlock II. Captain was great and kept an eye out constantly. First mate (Andrei) made sure we always had everything we needed and helped when we needed to reel in our catch. Highly recommend this company.

Amazing experience with Calvin and Alfred. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a fishing trip. My husband went out with them 3 times and I joined him twice. Caught lots of Mahi Mahi and Barracuda. My husband hooked a White Marlin but he got off. Will definitely be booking with them on our return trip. From booking, transportation to and from the resort and fishing was a 5 star experience.

We had an amazing day with Big Marlin Charters in Punta Cana! We did the 6-hour deep sea fishing tour, and honestly, we could have stayed out even longer. The crew was super friendly and professional, and they made sure we were comfortable the entire time. The highlight of the trip was reeling in several mahi mahi and a couple of barracuda – such an adrenaline rush! The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the views out on the water were incredible. If you're looking for a great fishing experience in Punta Cana, I highly recommend Big Marlin Charters. We’re already talking about booking another trip next time!

I searched and searched for what I thought would be the right charter for my wife and I visiting the DR. Of course, you never know what you will get until you get it. From an avid fisherman, I was highly pleased with this trip. Hopefully, this review can debunk some of the negative reviews I read about this outfit.1. The crew was awesome. Eddie was super high energy and was constantly changing to fresh baits and adjusting the trolling lengths in order to find what was working that day.2. Food and drinks were provided. Beer, Water, Rum, Coke, and plenty of ice. Was it a gourmet lunch? No. But guess what, you are fishing. A sandwich is more than adequate.3. We did not have to wade out to the dingy to take us to the big boat. I think I might have gotten my ankles wet, no complaints.4. We were picked up promptly on time from our resort and taken directly to the boat via the main highway. Max, the driver was great.Overall, this was a wonderful trip that I would take again. On top of that, my wife became sick and we had to return 3 hours early from our 8 hour trip and we were refunded part of the money for fuel we didn't use.Who even does that?

Captain Willy and Eddie were AWESOME! They kept the energy up and maintained a positive vibe, helping us catch a big mahi. They also assisted us in reeling in two barracuda and a small tuna. It was a great trip with great catches and an excellent captain. Thanks to the Gone Dog boat and crew, Willy and Eddie. Top-notch guys!Thank you once again🐟
