Escape the typical cruise-port excursion and spend your day fishing the remote southwest coast of the Dominican Republic on a private center-console sportfishing boat for up to 4 guests.

Your trip starts with round-trip transportation from the Port Cabo Rojo cruise terminal to La Cueva de las Águilas in Pedernales, approximately 25 minutes away. From there, board your private fishing boat and head toward the reefs or deeper offshore waters with an experienced captain and fishing guide.

Choose between deep-sea fishing or reef fishing, with a minimum charter duration of 4 hours. Offshore trips focus on trolling for species such as mahi-mahi, wahoo and blackfin tuna, while reef fishing takes place in calmer waters targeting snapper, grunts and jacks using bottom-fishing techniques.

All fishing equipment, rods, reels, bait and tackle are provided. Your captain and guide will prepare the gear, bait the hooks and assist throughout the trip, making the experience suitable for experienced anglers as well as beginners, couples and small families.

The boat features twin outboard engines and a T-top for shade. It is an open fishing boat without a restroom or cabin, designed for guests who want a straightforward, authentic fishing experience.

Cruise schedules are carefully considered. Pickup is normally arranged around 45–60 minutes after your ship docks, and the return is planned to have you back at Port Cabo Rojo at least 60 minutes before your ship's all-aboard time. Your ship must remain in port for at least 7.5 hours to accommodate the excursion.

Please note that fishing conditions and catches vary by season and weather, so specific fish cannot be guaranteed. Cruise ships do not permit guests to bring their catch back on board, so any retained legal catch must remain ashore.
