Really good trip with marcell he’s a knowledgeable fisherman we had a few difficulties with a boat engine problem early on in the day (which was nobody’s fault all engines need repair sometimes) so he immediately offered us to go back to shore to make the repair and start the trip the next morning which I couldn’t do as I was going home the next day, he then quickly arranged an replacement boat to get us back out on the water for the afternoon fishing a different style on a smaller boat so we could catch some barracuda at the very least. Would recommend this guide and I will be back next year hopefully for some Marlin!
Thankyou Marcell and crew 👏👏👏

We live in Key West and have years of offshore fishing experience. Staying in the La Romana area we wanted to see what it was like in the Dominican. The location is very convenient and our party of four actually left 15mins early. This is a trolling trip for big game fish such as Mahi, Wahoo, Marlin etc so for anyone who knows you could troll the 4hrs and get nothing or you could get the big ones, nothing guaranteed. About halfway thru the trip we got into a nice Mahi catch and everyone had a great time. Whether you catch or not I highly recommend Marcel and this trip. He was very attentive to changing baits and doing everything he could to catch fish. The price was fair and you won’t be disappointed.

Marcel Brito is an outstanding captain!  He replied quickly and accurately to my questions before the fishing trip.
Fishing was slow the first couple of hours but we then hooked into a 110 lb blue marlin.  Took at least 30 minutes to reel in with lots of help from captain Marcel.  After the trip we went to an area where the marlin could be hung up for display and photos taken with me.  The marlin was about a foot taller than me!
This truly was the fishing trip of a lifetime.  Marcel is highly knowledgeable, worked hard to help land the fish, and is a very caring man.  I highly recommend this captain and fishing trip.

The captain gave a better effort than almost everyone I have ever fished with.  I know better than most because I am a Captain out of Texas and have decades of experience.  A common issue with charters around the world is that they don’t keep the bait fresh and clear of seaweed.  Captain and crew were constantly changing out or cleaning the baits.  Again, I know.  I’ve sat there and watched other charters drag around baits so full of seaweed that it was slowing the boat down…. Sad that they didn’t care about catching fish but only offering the illusion of an offshore adventure.  Not this guy….  We caught several species but my target fish was nowhere to be found that day.  That’s fishing and certainly not a reflection of the captain and his crew.

I will be going again and will not consider going with another captain in the Dominica.

My brother-in-laws and I were looking to go fishing, we usually don’t do afternoons, but morning wasn’t an option as we had prior commitments. I really didn’t think we would catch much of anything, so to have 4 in the boat with a possible 5 or 6, we can’t complain.

Marcelo arranged our pickup and we were really pleased with the escort from our hotel to the Marina that was an hour away.

There was a little bit of a language barrier, but that’s on us for not knowing Spanish. At least we are experienced fisherman, so hand gestures worked fine where we didn’t know the English to Spanish translations. If I had one recommendation for Marcel, say “Fish On” if there is one on the pole. I lost one because I stopped reeling…I didn’t realize there was something on the line and I thought I was just being asked to reel to get the line out of the way from crossing the other line that had a fish on (Pacific crevalle jack). I’m guessing what was on the line was a barracuda and those seemed as those seemed to have zero fight in them.

Overall we were really happy and had a great time. Afterwards we grabbed dinner at the Marina near by and it was also very good!
