The Boat and crew was great and did put us on a fish.  I am am not a trolling type person I love bottom fishing my fault for not verify this with the Captain before the trip.  Fishing Booker did not tell me that while booking.

Look no further, this is the real deal.  The whole experience was very organized right from booking the trip.  It was an adventure of a lifetime.  The Captain really puts the effort in to getting you reeling.  Will definitely book again in future trips to the DR.  If it wasn’t for my wife I would do it 5 days a week lol.

Beautiful day, Nice boat, great crew, no fish.

Captain Rivera uses a different business model than most, his model is completely about customer service. he is personable and treats you as a part of the family from the time he picks you up to the time he drops you off. His boat and equipment are well kept and clean, during the trip he had plenty of snacks, soda, water, and beer. He found big fish, and at the end of the trip the mate cleaned the fish, and the captain cooked it, anyone who has ever chartered a big game fishing trip has dealt with having to clean, ship, store, and cook their catch but the captain assists with all of it. He’s also quite the cook, he employed a marinade and spices to rival any restaurant, you will hardly notice it was done on the boat. Captain Rivera was also very helpful to assist in other local adventures, he offered a personal jaunt or assistance in scheduling as our language skills were lacking. In our case he helped to set up a local horse expedition which included trails across both beach and scenic forest trails. This is more than a mere game fishing trip, it’s an enjoyable experience you’ll want to repeat.

We had an amazing trip with Captain Nelson, his first mate and his son. They made us very comfortable and worked hard to make sure we had a great day! We were lucky and caught 2 Mahi Mahi. Captain Nelson cooked them for us when we got back to the dock and it was probably the best fish I’ve ever eaten! I would love his recipe that he uses :)
Even better than the fishing, was Captain Nelson himself - I truly felt like I made a friend in the Dominican Republic. He picked us up the next day and drove us to the waterfall tour (also an amazing experience) and shared fresh fruit he had picked up while we were on the tour. The second day, he picked us up to go shopping at some local stores, took us to the chocolate factory and even to visit his house.
The fishing is great, but Captain Nelson makes sure you enjoy every part of your trip!! Thank you again!
