This was one of the highest quality fishing charters i have ever booked. Captain Nelson and his mate Joel were truly amazing people and they did everything they possibly could to make us happy the entire day.
To start, we booked the 6 hour trip with Nelson. This was my first time in the DR and I didn’t quite know what to expect. Nelson told us that he’d pick us up on our resort (Lifestyles) at 6:30am. We got to the area where he said he would pick us up around 6:15 and he was there ready to go!
We drove a very short way to his boat and were off out of the marina at 6:40 to go fishing. Not five minutes out of the marina we had beers in our hand and the snacks were flowing! I was very impressed with the service we had received from both Nelson and his mate Joel.
On top of the great service we had received, the fishing was pretty good too. It was a slow day but we still managed to get hooked up with 4 MahiMahi. Nelson did a very good job finding the fish and his mate did a good job helping us get them into the boat.
When the day was over we made our way back to the marina trolling the whole way in in hopes of one last fish and once we were docked again Nelson and his mate cleaned the fish and cooked it up right on the boat for us. Not only is Nelson a good captain but he’s an even better chef! The fish was delicious and we ate and ate until there was nothing left.
Now I may have mentioned a few times that Nelson provided excellent service but this didn’t just stop when the trip was over. He informed us that he would bring us around and show us more of Puerto Plata at no cost! He said he could bring us to many of the excursions that the resort offered for a fraction of the price! (Had we known this before we paid the resort for our excursion we could have saved hundreds of dollars.) However we did have a free day and we decided to take Nelson up on his offer and we went out to the cable car up the mountain. Our resort wanted 69USD for the cable car trip, Nelson got us in for 10USD and even gave us a tour of the area up top! He didn’t leave our side once and he was there to answer questions and provide information.
Nelson is a truly amazing person and I cannot say that enough. When I come back to DR I plan on fishing with him again and again because I wouldn’t want to go with anyone else. I also will use him to do the excursions and save money too. Without a doubt this was one of the best fishing charters I have ever been on and I really do look forward to fishing with Nelson and Joel again in the future.
