Punta Cana Deep-Sea Fishing Charter from Jellyfish Beach
Board at Jellyfish Beach for a four-hour private fishing charter off Punta Cana. Expect mahi‑mahi, tuna and occasional marlin, an open bar, and freshly prepared ceviche on return.
The Experience
Before You Go
Take motion-sickness medicine ahead of time
If you’re prone to seasickness, take a preventative dose at least 30–60 minutes before departure; morning rides are often calmer.
Protect from sun and spray
Use SPF 30+ sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and polarized sunglasses to cut glare and protect exposed skin on deck.
Bring waterproof storage
Keep phones and loose valuables in a dry bag—salt spray and sudden weather can soak pockets fast.
Follow crew guidance on handling fish
Crew will advise on which catches are keepable and how to safely take photos to avoid harming fish or yourself.

Punta Cana’s coast developed from plantation-era land use into a tourism hub in the late 20th century; local fishing retains older small-boat traditions.
