Look at picture bellow these are the depths where our company fishes.

On that screen copy below you can see the depths at which we slave for 4 hrs., 6hrs., and Full day fishing:

  • As illustrated in the Navionics boating program screen copy from my smartphone, the ocean depth in this region of the island is considerable. Fishing depths of up to 4,800 ft and 16-17 miles from the coast are permitted within a 4-hour fishing range. This depth is sufficient for the successful fishing of all species of pelagic fish.
  • Depths for 6 hour fishing are as deep as 5200 – 6200 ft. and close to 22-23 mils off shore, Absolutely enough to come back with a trophy sized fish.
  • Distance from shore for approximately 24 miles and depths between 7000- 9000 ft. these are the values we get during Full day fishing. Recommended for experienced anglers who knows what is Big Game Fishing!

Fish are more likely to be caught in deep water for several reasons:

  • Water temperature: Deeper water is cooler, which attracts big fish, especially in warmer months. Fish like cooler waters because they can find more food and feel more comfortable.
  • Deeper waters have more food, such as small fish and other marine organisms, which attracts large predators.
    Fish are less exposed to noise and movement at the surface in deeper waters. Some large fish, such as tuna or marlin, prefer deep water because it is their natural habitat.

Why is the chance to catch Blue Marlin or White Marlin close to Punta Cana higher than in the Caribbean Sea (South Dominican Republic)?

Blue Marlin and White Marlin are a highly sought-after game fish, known for their speed and strength. While they can be found in many locations around the world, the chances of catching Blue Marlin can be higher in certain areas than others.

One reason why the chances of catching Blue Marlin may be higher close to Punta Cana than in other areas of the Caribbean Sea is due to the specific oceanic conditions found in the region. The waters around east of island are known for their deep sea canyons and holes, drop offs, and underwater mountains that attract a range of marine fishing life, including Blue or White Marlin. The close Mona Passage also provides a channel of water that brings nutrient rich water to the area, which attracts a range of prey in the season for Blue Marlin.

In addition to the favorable oceanic conditions, Dominican Republic is also located on the migratory route of Blue Marlin. These fish travel long distances in search of food and favorable breeding conditions, and Mona Passage is situated in a region that they pass through during their migrations. This means that there is a greater chance of encountering Blue Marlin in the waters near Bavaro – Punta Cana during certain times calendar of the year: Watch our Punta Cana fishing calendar

Overall, the combination of favorable oceanic conditions and the location on the migratory route of Blue Marlin makes it more likely to catch this species close to Punta Cana than in other areas of the Caribbean Sea. However, fishing is always dependent on a range of factors, including the weather, time of year, and luck, so there is never a guarantee of catching any specific fish.
