Fishing in Dominican Republic: what US anglers should know

What we could confirm from official or operator sources. Ask your captain when you book.

Some charters include the anglers' fishing licenses in the trip price: Tease Me Sportfishing lists 'fishing licenses and permits for each angler' as included. Ask your operator whether theirs does.

Billfish are generally released: Island Marine says it releases all billfish (and all inshore species), while mahi-mahi, wahoo and tuna can be filleted for your meal.

Most offshore charters leave from Marina Cap Cana on the south side of Punta Cana; Big Marlin Charters instead departs the old public 'Jellyfish' marina in Bávaro, where guests are taken out to the boat by small boat.
