Punta Cana Deep Sea Fishing: Private 4-Hour Charter from Cap Cana
Head offshore from Marina Cap Cana on a private 4‑hour deep sea fishing charter. Target mahi‑mahi, wahoo, tuna and seasonal billfish with a professional crew, hotel pickup, all gear and no hidden fees.
The Experience
Before You Go
Morning departures for calmer seas
Choose an early start—mornings usually offer smoother water, more stable winds, and cooler temperatures for longer comfortable fishing windows.
Bring motion‑sickness medicine
If you’re sensitive to rolling, take an over‑the‑counter or prescribed remedy at least an hour before boarding to avoid a ruined outing.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen and a brimmed hat
The tropical sun is intense on open decks; non‑chemical sunscreens protect both skin and marine life while a hat reduces glare.
Plan for gratuity and fish handling
Bring small bills to tip the crew and decide ahead whether you’ll keep fish—the crew can prep a catch for transport or advise on catch‑and‑release.
