Great trip with Hector and his crew, Jeffrey and Cabo. Very professional, complimentary beer, and an overall great day at sea. We landed 5 mahi mahi on our 4-hour trip and couldn’t ask for more. Thanks, Hector!

Captain Manuel and Jose went above and beyond to get us on our first Mahi-Mahi. After the trip, they even took the fish to a local restaurant where it was prepared perfectly and tasted incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them. We can’t wait to go again! — Ron, Joyce, Kevin & Michelle

This company made everything smooth and easy—from planning the trip before I even left the U.S. to being out on the ocean. Very professional and very fun. We did a half-day trip and landed three mahi-mahi. It was an amazing day on the water. I only wish I’d booked a full-day, and if I’m ever back in the DR, I’ll definitely go with them again.

Captain Jiji showed up early so we could maximize our time on the water. The boat was clean, ready, and well-equipped when we arrived. Even with the understanding that catching fish is never guaranteed, we still landed a barracuda and a mahi mahi. Despite some rough water and a few rain showers, the captain kept us dry and comfortable throughout the trip. Other than wishing for even more fish, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. We’ll definitely book again on our next trip to the Dominican.

We didn’t catch many fish, but that’s the name of the game. The Silverton was spacious and comfortable, and the crew was incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout the trip.

We got splashed by dolphins, and the captain went out of his way to take us to a different spot. We only caught one barracuda, but the trip was still a blast. I’d do it 100 more times!

Had an amazing day on the water with Captain GG and Jordan! The day started off slow, but the bite really picked up. We ended up catching 9 Mahi Mahi, a Yellowfin, and a Barracuda. At one point, we even had 3 Mahi on the line at once! The crew was fantastic, and if you're heading to Puerto Plata, you’ve got to fish with these guys. Thanks for an unforgettable day!

Our family had an awesome time! We’re a family of four with kids ages 11 and 13, and both got to catch fish. They took turns in the fighting chair, and the crew did a fantastic job keeping fresh bait on the lines and making sure the kids were happy. The boat was stocked with plenty of water, Coke, and chips for the kids. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you!
