Private Fishing, Meal Included

Overview

Four hours of deep sea fishing off Punta Cana and Bávaro with Pescando y Comiendo Fishing Charters. You board at Jellyfish Beach, between the Melia Caribe Tropical, Ifa Bávaro and Barceló Palace Deluxe hotels, off the Barceló highway. The crew supplies rods and bait suited to the fishing at hand, and the staff stay with you the whole time, which the operator describes as their strong point.

The trip runs as a working charter rather than a spectator ride. One reviewer described being patiently taught bait preparation and casting technique instead of just sitting back and waiting, and travellers also mention catches of barracuda, mahi mahi and even a white marlin. One recurring theme is that the crew will cook some of your catch, with fresh ceviche made right on the boat.

Transport to and from the dock is in an air conditioned vehicle, and drinks are covered on board: bottled water, soda, alcoholic beverages and snacks. It suits most travellers who can handle a boat, though the listing flags it as not recommended for anyone with back problems or who is pregnant, and it is not wheelchair accessible. The outing ends back at the same meeting point.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points help this trip go smoothly, based on what the listing covers and what reviewers have said.

• Getting there. You meet at Jellyfish Beach, between the Melia Caribe Tropical, Ifa Bávaro and Barceló Palace Deluxe hotels, entering via the Barceló highway. The listing says the spot is near public transportation, and the transfer vehicle is air conditioned.
• Learn as you go. The staff accompany you throughout the tour, and reviewers describe them as knowledgeable and helpful. One traveller reported being patiently taught bait preparation and casting technique, and another praised the crew for answering every question.
• Food and drink. Water, soda, alcoholic beverages and snacks are all included on board. The catch itself can become part of the meal; several reviewers mention fresh ceviche made from fish caught that same trip.
• A cooked lunch costs extra. Taking fish back to the hotel is not included, and neither is lunch. A restaurant on the coast will cook your fish for a fee per person.
• Skip if pregnant. The listing advises against the trip for travellers with back problems and for pregnant travellers. Infants must sit on laps, and the boat is not wheelchair accessible.
• Weather matters. This experience requires good weather, per the listing. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, you are offered a different date or a full refund, so keep some flexibility in your schedule.

Common issues. Lunch is not in the price, so the cooked meal costs extra per person at a coastal restaurant, and you cannot take your catch back to the hotel. One reviewer reported not getting into the big fish, though the group still landed barracuda. Anyone with back problems or a pregnancy is advised to skip it, and the boat is not wheelchair accessible. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before start time for a refund, and poor weather can force a reschedule.
