Fishing Puerta Plata - I went to Cabarete for the month of February and thought I would take a friend fishing. Booked two 4 hr trips with Mahi Mahi Fishing. We didn’t connect on any fish the first trip Feb 3 but none of the other boats did neither. No one was into fish. The second trip I had a mix up on my booking date but Bart accommodated by changing the date for me. Feb 18th I ended up on a solo trip and landed a nice Mahi Mahi and a Wahoo. When we returned to the marina my Mahi Mahi was cleaned so I could take it back to eat. The fish might not have been cooperating but it wasn’t due to the crew. They worked very hard both trips and were more than friendly. I will definitely look these guys up again my next trip down. Big thanks to Bart and his Crew - Willy and Saul!

Perfect 4plus hour excursion - From the start Capt Jeffery and Anderson were great. Anderson picked us up early since we were on a time crunch because of our cruise ship. They were both very welcoming and knowledgeable and had no problems answering questions we had. Ended up catching a mahi-mahi and they filleted it and cooked it right there on the boat. Best Mahi I have ever had. We paid for a 4 hour trip and we were actually closer to 5. We would highly recommended this team.

Great memories catching fish - Great day on the water catching wahoo, mahi mahi and a barracuda. Boat was nice - could have been cleaned better. Captain and first mate knew their waters and were super friendly and welcoming.

Water Lover’s Paradise - Days like this are why my wife and I don’t book excursions through cruise ships. Fishing wasn’t offered and would have been twice as expensive. Saul and Willy took us trolling in beautiful waters offshore, but with shoreline still visible. Wish we had time for a full day to increase our chance at a marlin. But, we still scored two mahi mahi and a barracuda. I don’t care if I even catch fish while traveling through these beautiful waters. Excellent way to help local businesses and receive unparalleled service. The guys were great!

Crew worked hard - We didn't catch any fish but the crew worked very hard. It's not the crew's fault the fish didn't cooperate.

Give Mahi Mahi Fishing Charters a try when in Puerto Plata. - We have chartered Mahi Mahi a couple times now. We have had a great time with each trip. We are already booking another charter in September. Highly recommend. Great crew, nice boat, reasonably priced!

10/10 experience - Awesome captain and great crew! Fishing was tough, but that’s why they call it fishing and not catching!

Dolphins ate our fish. - This was a great day on the water. We were greeted by a group of dolphins and witness what was thought to be a shark thrashing in the water. Unfortunately, there were no fish bitting despite the efforts of the captain and first mate. The Dolphins got there first. :). Overall, great trip.

We were cheated. - We were told that if the sea was too rough or in bad weather, we would postpone the tour or cancel and get a refund. At the departure of the marina we were told that there were a few waves but made offshore it would be quieter. Offshore there were waves 4 to 5 meters high and it was raining, it was really bad.We had to turn back because we were sick. We should never have left. I hope to have compensation because we have not been honest with us and for the moment the confidence is no longer there.
