Reel in Big Game on a 6-Hour DR Adventure
Ready to chase some serious fish in the crystal-clear waters of the Dominican Republic? Doña Nina Fishing Tours has you covered with our Extended Half Day trip. We're talking six full hours of offshore action, targeting the big boys of the sea - sailfish, marlin, mahi-mahi, and more. This ain't your average cruise ship excursion, folks. We're heading out to where the real monsters swim, giving you the best shot at hooking into something that'll make your arms ache and your fishing buddies back home green with envy.
What to Expect on the Water
Picture this: You're cruising out past the breakers, cold drink in hand, scanning the horizon for signs of life. Our seasoned crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, and they're on a mission to put you on fish. We've got all the top-notch gear you need, from heavy-duty rods to tournament-grade reels. No need to lug your own stuff - just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat. We'll keep you fueled up with sodas, beer, and fresh fruit, but feel free to pack your own snacks if you've got a favorite fishing fuel. The boat's roomy enough for six, so grab your buddies and make a day of it. Just remember, the further we go, the bigger the fish get - and with six hours to play, we've got time to find the real trophies.
Trolling for Trophies
Out here, it's all about the troll. We'll be dragging a spread of lures and baits designed to entice the big pelagics. Keep your eyes peeled for diving birds, floating debris, or that telltale flash of blue - it could mean a billfish is on the hunt. When a reel starts screaming, it's go time. Our crew will help you settle into the fighting chair and coach you through the battle. It might be a mahi lighting up the water with electric blues and greens, or the unmistakable bill of a marlin breaking the surface. Either way, you're in for the fight of your life. And don't underestimate the wahoo - these speed demons will make your drag sing. It's not uncommon to boat a mixed bag out here, so stay ready. You never know what might decide to crash the party next.
What Anglers Are Saying
"We had a great time Joel and Jeffrey! Carlos set us up with them and they put us on some fish! We went out July 18-19 and had a blast! We caught wahoo barracuda and mahi! We had a blue Marlin hit but missed the hook! They also took us to Sasquatch Beach and we went snorkeling! Good time for the whole family and very cool guys! We plan on doing it again next year! Thanks guys!" - Chris
"A real solid job by Carlos and his crew. They know what they're doing and the boat had plenty of space for our group of 4 to keep out of the hot sun while waiting for the fish to bite. Caught my first mahi and a couple of barracuda. Including transport to and from the cruise pier makes this super easy." - Tom
Species You'll Want to Hook
Atlantic Sailfish: These acrobatic beauties are the showstoppers of the deep. Known for their stunning aerial displays, sailfish can turn a calm day into a circus act in seconds. They're lightning-fast, often traveling in packs, and when they hit, it's like someone lit a firecracker under your bait. Sailfish are most common here from late spring through early fall, but can be caught year-round. Anglers love 'em for their fight and their looks - that giant sail dorsal fin is a sight to behold.
Blue Marlin: The heavyweight champ of our waters, blue marlin are the stuff of fishing legend. These massive predators can top 1,000 pounds, though most you'll encounter here are in the 200-400 pound range. Still plenty big enough to test your mettle! Blues are known for their powerful runs and spectacular jumps. They're a summer and fall visitor to our area, with peak season typically July through October. Landing a blue marlin is a bucket-list catch for any serious angler.
Mahi Mahi (Dorado): Also known as dolphinfish, these are some of the most beautiful fish in the sea. Their electric blue, green, and gold colors are breathtaking, especially when lit up during the fight. Mahi are acrobatic fighters, known for tail-walking across the surface. They're also excellent eating fish, so if you're looking to bring home dinner, mahi's a top choice. We see them year-round here, but they're especially abundant in the warmer months. They often travel in schools, so when you find one, you might just find a bunch!
White Marlin: The smaller cousin of the blue marlin, white marlin are no less exciting to catch. They're more common and generally easier to land, making them a great target for anglers looking to cut their teeth on billfish. Whites are known for their agility and speed, often making spectacular aerial leaps during the fight. They typically show up in our waters from late spring through early fall. While not as massive as blues, a 100-pound white marlin will still give you a workout you won't soon forget.
Time to Book Your Spot
Listen, if you're even thinking about fishing while you're in the DR, this is the trip you want. Six hours gives us the time to really get out there where the big boys play. Whether you're a seasoned pro looking to tangle with a marlin or a first-timer hoping to land your first mahi, we've got you covered. Our crew knows these waters inside and out, and we're all about putting you on fish and making sure you have a blast doing it. So round up your crew, grab your sunscreen, and let's hit the water. The fish are out there waiting - all you've got to do is book your spot and show up ready for action. Trust me, this is one fishing trip you'll be talking about long after you're back on dry land. Don't miss your chance to make some real fishing memories. Book now and get ready for a day on the water you won't forget!

Mahi Magic Cruise
A real solid job by Carlos and his crew. They know what they’re doing and the boat had plenty of space for our group of 4 to keep out of the hot sun while waiting for the fish to bite. Caught my first mahi and a couple of barracuda. Including transport to and from the cruise pier makes this super easy.

Atlantic Sailfish
Atlantic Sailfish are some of the fastest fish in the ocean, known for their long bill and tall, sail-like dorsal fin. They typically grow 7-8 feet long and weigh 50-80 pounds. You'll find them in warm, tropical waters near the surface, often around 30-65 feet deep. They're a blast to catch, putting on acrobatic aerial displays when hooked. Peak season here is winter through early spring. Sailfish hunt in groups, so if you spot one, there's likely more nearby. When targeting them, I like to use live bait like ballyhoo or goggle-eyes rigged on circle hooks. Let the bait swim naturally and be ready for explosive strikes. The fight is intense but relatively short - about 20-30 minutes for most fish. It's all catch-and-release, but the photos make for great memories.
Blue Marlin
Blue Marlin are the giants of the billfish world, with females reaching over 1,000 pounds. They're deep blue on top, fading to white below, with a long, spear-like bill. You'll find them in warm offshore waters, often following temperature breaks and floating debris. These fish are legendary fighters, known for long runs and spectacular jumps. Peak season here is late spring through fall. Blue Marlin are a true bucket-list catch for many anglers. When targeting them, we often troll large lures or rigged baits like Spanish mackerel. The key is covering lots of water and staying patient - it might be an all-day hunt for one bite. But when that reel starts screaming, hold on tight. The fight can last hours with a big blue. It's strictly catch-and-release, but the thrill of the battle is unforgettable.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi Mahi are some of the most beautiful fish in the ocean, with bright blues, greens, and golds. They usually run 15-30 pounds but can get up to 50+. You'll find them near the surface around floating debris and weed lines. Mahi are fast-growing and quick to bite, making them a fun, action-packed target. They're great eating too. Peak season here is spring through fall. When we spot floating debris, we'll toss out live baits or small lures. Mahi often travel in schools, so when you hook one, keep it in the water to attract others. They're strong fighters for their size, with acrobatic jumps and fast runs. One local trick: if you see frigate birds working an area, there's a good chance mahi are underneath. Fresh mahi makes for some of the best fish tacos you'll ever taste.
White Marlin
White Marlin are the smallest of the billfish family, usually 50-80 pounds. They're known for their speed and agility, with a long, thin bill and a dark blue back fading to white below. You'll find them in warm, offshore waters, often near underwater structures like canyons or drop-offs. These fish are prized for their acrobatic fights, with spectacular aerial displays. Peak season here is late summer through fall. When targeting white marlin, we often troll small lures or rigged baits like ballyhoo. The bite can be subtle, so watch for any small movement on the line. Once hooked, be ready for a series of jumps and fast runs. A good tip is to use circle hooks - they're better for catch-and-release and often hook fish in the corner of the mouth. It's all about conservation with these beauties, so we practice careful release techniques to ensure they swim away strong.
