Make sure you bring your motion sickness pills or the patch on your neck. The North Atlantic on a beautiful day is choppy 5 - 8 ft waves is the normal.
86 and sunny with a slight 8 mph wind. and the ocean was moving. When you catch fish it is well worth it. I would do this again in heartbeat.

Sunglasses, Head cover, sunblock. Fully charge your phone for photos and video as well as connecting to the Apple Play on board for music. Bottled water provided, Ice in the cooler (trust it?), but bring your own pop and alcohol (beers)

Utter rubbish. They failed to moor at the pier so had to jump in and out with no help in waist high water. Captain has disappeared after I complained. He took 16.000 Dom pesos it over 400 US dollars IN CASH no receipt. Hello Mr Taxman

We caught fish. There had been a storm the night before. The sea was between 3-4 foot. If someone was prone to sea sickness it might have been rough on them. We caught two fish not the type I was hoping for. That is why it is called fishing not catching :)

Take non drowsy Dramamine 1 hour before you go.
Don’t get drunk the night before
Eat lighter food n hour or more before going out.
Wear a long sleeve fishing shirt
the hat you wear will blow off if it’s not tight or tied.
Wear sunglasses
Put on a lot of sunscreen
Wear good shoes they fight hard and the floor is always wet
Listen to the crew
Enjoy paradise

Just trust in your captain and mate. They know what they are doing. When you go out on a charter do it for the experience not to catch. If you go with this mind set you will have a great time. If you catch it’s a bonus. Also know the crew wants to catch fish more then you do so don’t put extra pressure on them, they are doing the best they can. Remember you can’t make fish bite so just enjoy the experience.

If there's a possibility you MAY get seasickness, don't go. I threw up once and was fine. That was my fault for having lunch before going out. Seasickness is also in your head AND your stomach. It only got to my stomach.
Also, if you can't handle the exhaust fumes don't go. The boat was constantly in motion and you can still smell it all afternoon.

Decide wether you want to troll jig for fish. Trolling is less engaging...but potential for bigger fish. It was windy everyday we were in Punta Cana, so the Atlantic Ocean was a bit rough. Even if you think you don't get seasick, I would recommend Dramamine a few hours before your trip.

Read reviews & choose a chart that provides transport to and from where you're staying. Also, make sure you know how to get your catch back home or, at least, allow time to have the marina restaurant prepare some of it for you to enjoy!

DON'T travel with your fly rod in hand carry on the way back to the US. Dominican security confiscated my rod at the airport security checkpoint! I barely got my $800 reel back with me. They have NO idea how to handle anglers.

In my opinion every day fishing is different. We had 6 strikes took 2 fish. I think thats pretty acceptable. We travelled in the taxi with two guys from Chile and they went on a 4 hour trip and caught 5 Mahi Mahi.

Don't take the half day trip. They don't go out very far and probably the same places every day.
My fault for booking that type of trip. We caught no fish but had two bites.
Perhaps if we went straight out and back we would have been in deeper water with more fish. Boat and crew were great.

Granted the crew blamed the poor fishing on a full moon and that they can eat all night. These are fish that never stop moving, rarely stop eating. Wave conditions were 2-4 so not bad for this time of year. These are old boats, chugger desiel engines so expect lots of funds that will add to the sick sickness for some.
Susan Edwards
Definitely recommend the Fishing Machine to experienced anglers and new fishermen and women! Terrific day on the water
Scott VanderHoning
Go early in your trip, Captain will clean fish for you to take to your condo or a restaurant to prepare it for you. Your fresh catch will be way better than the fish they purchase at a restaurant.
Kenneth Boland
Get ready for choppy water. They call it fishing not catching. Some days are better than others but everyday on the water is great.
Robert Fisher
If you’re fishing for the first time, you need not to worry with this crew, they will put you on the fish and show you exactly what to do.
Peter Lemon
Remember it is fishing and not catching. So make sure to pray to whatever fishing gods you believe in before you go. Good luck the crew was great and gear and boat nice.
Bill O'brien
Make sure to get a patch from your doctor. You never know what the conditions will be when you go out on the water.
Dennis Miller
Always a possibility with high winds and rough waves. But that's what you expect this time of year in punta Cana
Mike Haluska
I didn’t want to go out very far to troll
I enjoyed fishing where we did,about a mile from shore,and the way we fished,with bait towards the bottom

Captain was great. Took our two boys age (11 & 10) and it was perfect. We catch 4 strawberry grouper, 3 banana fish and a trigger fish in a 4 hour fishing trip. Good day fishing. ??
Danny Flaim
Yes ! Best Fishing Experience in Punta Cana ! No Problem ! Punta Cana ! ????️?
Justin Sisco
Take anti-nausia/motion sickness meds before heading out. Otherwise just have a good time!
Tyler Easton
The waves are much worse then what ive experienced in B.C. or mexico so be aware of that
Hannah Grima
I’d recommend some nausea medication as waters can be choppy, it helped wonders!
Chris Engle
Find cover and fish slower. We were trying to catch fish with dead bait skipping along the water
Steve Lipski
Seems like it’s always windy in Punta Cana so the seas are going to be rough most of the time.

Pick this trip if you want to catch fish. Not just a 4 hour boat ride trolling.
Timothy Schooley
I fished all my life on Lake Erie in Ohio. I never got seasick. This time I did. The water was tolerable with rollers that exceeded the boats height. So I got sick, take Dramamine before you go!
