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🐟

My wife and I had an awesome half day fishing charter with captain Miguel. We were on our last day of vacation and booked a fishing very spontaneously. The boat Sherlock was beautiful, gear was very nice and fishing was a blast. Miguel was awesome too. He was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. If we're ever in the Dominican republic again we'll definitely plan another fishing with him. Definitely recommend capt Miguel and boat Sherlock.

Manuel was great! He was very informative explaining everything that was going on along the way, he had a great personality and was cheering us on while we were catching. Turned a "fishing charter" into a friend bringing you fishing. A+! We were on the blue sky and it was perfect. Wish I had more time to drink the bottle of rum between all the fish we caught!

Absolutely excellent full day fishing charter! Boat Cana well equipped and well maintained. There was 3 of us and we caught 7 mahi and two small cuda. Captain Miguel gave our family a fantastic fishing trip experience. He is one of the best local fishermen and captain. Will definitely be back the next time we're in the Dominican Republic. Thank you Big marlin!

We had an amazing time on the Blue Sky boat with Captain Miguel. He made sure he was doing whatever he could to keep us on the mahi mahi and always made sure we were having fun. Cold beer and service! Everything about Blue Sky boat and crew is top notch. From the first minute you book till the end of the trip while the fish are being cleaned it was all amazing. Well done Blue Sky! See you in Punta Cana next year!!

star rating  Great Experience!! - Great , professional Company and crew!! Although, not catching it was definitely not due to lack of effort!!

Went on “Blue Sky”. 6 hours. W/ Cpt. Francis and 1st Mate Andy. Great crew!! Got picked up by them in lobby of hotel in Cap Cana. Max great driver. Nice clean ice cold AC van. Seemless.
Met right at beach by 1st mate Andy. Explained boats are on moorings because there is no Marina there. Got on taxi boat 1 min to boat. Very smooth.
Once on Andy went through every detail not a question needed to be asked. Headed out about 20-30 mins. Lines in the water.

Caught a couple small ones. Dorado, Barracuda. Got a couple rockets out of the water taking a jab at the bait. Missed. Again, not due to lack of trying. Will definitely keep their info for next time we are back. Highly recommend!!

star rating  Excellent!  - Excellent 6hrs!!!!! I have done a lot of big game fishing by myself, but wanted my friends and family to experience it. Expected to catch a few barracuda and maybe a Mahi Mahi, but we were stunned to catch a Blue Marlin (and even rose another 10mins later), we also got a barracuda. This gave us the best experience. Having been lucky enough to catch a few myself already, to give my son this experience was a great day - one he won’t forget!!!
We booked through their website and paid a deposit, we were picked up on time direct from the hotel and taken to the beach. Staff on board were excellent and very welcoming, the equipment is a bit dated, but good enough for the fishing. There is not a jetty to access the boat, you have to get into a small boat and get taken to the main boat (not a problem for us, but others may find this difficult). Would recommend.

star rating  Our fantastic sea fishing!  - My son and I we did the four hour trip and it was a lot of fun this afternoon on the Sherlock boat. Captain Richard took us to some great spots ahead of the Punta Cana marina. We enjoyed his hospitality, the boat, the Dominican bochata and the weather in the Dominican Republic. Capt. Richard even suggested a good place to eat and then we went fishing and successfully caught a couple mahi-mahi and three barracuda. We hope to return for another trip when the water is a little warmer - this trip was in early March. If you are looking for a fun, courteous and knowledgeable captain, Richard and his assistant Andy are your guys!
