I have fished all over the world.  This is a very solid operation.  From the pickup at our hotel to the snacks and beers provided, this is a great operation to bring your family and friends.  The captain and mate were first class and tried their best to put us on fish in very changing conditions.  We only caught one fish, but it was a fantastic blue marlin.  After missing two wahoo bites early in the trip, they never gave up and my son got to land his first marlin ever.  Trolling can be tedious, but theses guys were pros…. Always checking lines and baits to make sure everything was working properly.  I have deep sea fished many times and would not hesitate to book them again.  Great boat that had very modern rods and reels….. Very clean and professional.    I would recommend the 6 hour trip at least to have the best results.  5 stars for me!

Captain Nelson and First Mate Joelle are top notch! And are very experienced fisherman as well! His boat is immaculate and every need or want was in place well in advance of us stepping on the boat. We foul hooked a blue marlin in the 120 pound range and was not able to land it! Myself, my sister Tina and Joelle fought it in high seas until it finally broke off. It was still a great experience!  If you want to go fishing in the Atlantic, get ready! Captain Nelson also took us on a tour of Christ the Redeemer on top of Mt. Isabel de Torres and also showed us country an excursion would not have! We will be back to fish with High Z’s!

We were held up a little in the morning because of the DR Navy not letting any boats leave the Marina but that didn’t phase Capt. Nelson in the least.  This could have been a bad day but he had a great way of looking at things and started the clock for the full day from when we left the dock.  He brought us right out to a great spot and as soon as the lure passed into the strike zone we were hooked up with the biggest Dorado any one of us had ever seen.  That fight took nearly an hour and produced a great memory for my son’s friend on his first day out deep sea fishing.  The bull dorado was so big it’s tail was sticking out of the fish box.  Capt. Nelson said he never had one that didn’t fit it the box.  Because of High-Z’s experience, as soon as that fish was in the boat, we had 2 more on that had to be reeled in and then another soon thereafter.  One more on a long troll about an hour later and then we almost had a Marlin hooked up.  What a day!!!  Then, it only got better.  We headed back in and Capt. Nelson cooked up a few of the smaller ones for us and all the admirers of Johan’s massive catch. Not only did he do all that but finished cleaning the fish, gave some away at our request and then delivered the frozen giant dorado to us 2 days later for our trip home.  All around, the best Sportfishing experience that I’ve ever had.  I have my own fishing boat at home and really enjoy taking people out fishing but Capt. Nelson showed me how to do it right.  I only wish I had his expertise and experience.

First and foremost, Captain Nelson is the best Captain we have fished with! His boat was impeccable and stocked with plenty of food and beverages you want. The gear and tackle worked flawlessly. 
The first mate (Joel) worked hard and kept fresh bait on the lines. He changes up several times to make sure the fish were presented every color.
We hooked up within 30 minutes of leaving the dock and had 2 on board in an short time. Fishing got slow in the afternoon but they still worked hard to get another hookup.
Captain Nelson and Joel will work hard for you get the best opportunity to land a fish of a lifetime.  Best of all, he invited us over for dinner and we ate our catch together. We have made a true friend and we will be back!

Captain Nelson picked us up on time in the morning. The boat was ready to go when we we arrived at the dock. I’ve been on many fishing charters around the world and Captain Nelson is by far the best captain I’ve given business to. He is very knowledgeable and caring for his clients, making a very enjoyable experience. His mate Joel worked the rods and constantly changed the baits around. We ended the day with one sailfish, one large mahi mahi and 5 barracuda. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a charter to give their business to High Z’s. On top of the fishing, the lunch and beers and refreshments were plentiful and great. It was an overall fantastic experience!
