Overview

This four-hour outing from Pescando y Comiendo Fishing Charters puts you on the water off Punta Cana and Bávaro with rods, bait and a crew whose job is to find fish. It runs from a meeting point at Jellyfish Beach, on the stretch between the Melia Caribe Tropical, Ifa Bávaro and Barceló Palace Deluxe hotels, entered from the Barceló highway. An air-conditioned vehicle is part of the package, and the trip finishes back where it started.

One reviewer describes a guide who taught bait preparation and line technique rather than simply running the boat, and catches reported include mahi mahi, barracuda and white marlin. Several travellers mention that the crew will prepare fresh ceviche from the day's catch, and one review notes fish can be cooked onboard by the crew's cook.

Drinks and snacks are supplied, covering bottled water, soda, alcoholic beverages and something to eat on board. The cooked fish lunch is separate: the listing states it is not in the price, and one coastal restaurant will cook your catch at a cost of 15.00 US dollars per person. The listing says most travellers can participate, though it flags the tour as unsuitable for wheelchairs and not recommended for people with back problems or who are pregnant.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you get the most out of this charter before you book.

Learn as you fish. If you want hands-on fishing rather than watching, this trip is set up for that.
Fresh ceviche. Several travellers describe ceviche made from fish caught on the trip, and one review says the crew's cook can prepare fish onboard. The full cooked lunch at a beach restaurant costs extra.
Drinks included. Bottled water, soda, alcoholic beverages and snacks are all part of the package. You do not need to bring your own drinks for the four hours on the water.
Getting there. Transport in an air-conditioned vehicle is included, and the meeting point is near public transportation. Confirmation is received at the time of booking.
Who it suits. The listing says most travellers can participate, but infants must sit on laps and it is not wheelchair accessible. It is also not recommended for people with back problems or who are pregnant.
Weather matters. The charter requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, the listing says you will be offered a different date or a full refund.

Common issues. The cooked fish is not included, so budget 15.00 US dollars per person if you want your catch prepared at a beach restaurant. Taking the fish back to your hotel is likewise not part of the price. Weather can cancel the trip, though a new date or full refund is offered in that case. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for travellers with back problems or who are pregnant.
