Offshore Fishing Party in Punta Cana: 4-Hour Deep-Sea Adventure
Head offshore from Punta Cana for a lively four-hour fishing tour that blends deep-sea angling with a festive onboard atmosphere. Perfect for beginners and experienced anglers alike, the trip includes equipment, guidance and tropical drinks.
The Experience
Before You Go
Morning departures are calmer
Book the earliest pickup (around 6:30–7:00 a.m.) to find smoother seas and cooler light that attracts surface fish.
Protect against sun and spray
High-SPF sunscreen, a brimmed hat and polarized sunglasses reduce glare and sunburn while improving sight into the water.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding—the boat will head offshore quickly.
Secure valuables and use non-slip shoes
Phones and wallets should be stowed; wear rubber-soled deck shoes to avoid slips on wet surfaces.
