We had a great time. The weather was cloudy and rainy, and, the seas were ROUGH! Captain Nelson and first mate(so bad of me to not have the name) but I was one of the many who were having a bad time with the roughness of the trip. Both of them did their best to make the trip enjoyable for those that were sick. First mate did an excellent job getting people to the railing, holding hair, and them.
The lucky 2 that were not sick were entertained by the first mate, fed drinks if they wanted them and they were able to hook up and catch 2 Dorado(Mahi Mahi).
Captain Nelson and “first mate” were friendly, welcoming, and just a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend booking their charter

Great day of fishing!  As a life long fishing guide and resort owner I was very pleased and happy with the service from Captain Nelson and his first mate.  Very friendly and professional and kept the mood on boat fun and relaxing at all times.  Asked us what we were looking for in are experience and delivered right from picking us up at the hotel to dropping us off.  Everybody in family got fish which is a bonus.  Lots of action all day and nice equipment to fish with as well.  I recommend this to any one that is going to the Dominican and likes to fish.  As a fisherman I would recommend booking the full day as well as the 8 hours allows you better chance of landing fish as fish will not always bite all day long and then you also get some good food and snacks as well.  Only down fall is I wish I would of booked another day and can not wait to go back.  Memories of a life time made.

Captain Rivera uses a different business model than most, his model is completely about customer service. he is personable and treats you as a part of the family from the time he picks you up to the time he drops you off. His boat and equipment are well kept and clean, during the trip he had plenty of snacks, soda, water, and beer. He found big fish, and at the end of the trip the mate cleaned the fish, and the captain cooked it, anyone who has ever chartered a big game fishing trip has dealt with having to clean, ship, store, and cook their catch but the captain assists with all of it. He’s also quite the cook, he employed a marinade and spices to rival any restaurant, you will hardly notice it was done on the boat. Captain Rivera was also very helpful to assist in other local adventures, he offered a personal jaunt or assistance in scheduling as our language skills were lacking. In our case he helped to set up a local horse expedition which included trails across both beach and scenic forest trails. This is more than a mere game fishing trip, it’s an enjoyable experience you’ll want to repeat.

We had an amazing trip with Captain Nelson, his first mate and his son. They made us very comfortable and worked hard to make sure we had a great day! We were lucky and caught 2 Mahi Mahi. Captain Nelson cooked them for us when we got back to the dock and it was probably the best fish I’ve ever eaten! I would love his recipe that he uses :)
Even better than the fishing, was Captain Nelson himself - I truly felt like I made a friend in the Dominican Republic. He picked us up the next day and drove us to the waterfall tour (also an amazing experience) and shared fresh fruit he had picked up while we were on the tour. The second day, he picked us up to go shopping at some local stores, took us to the chocolate factory and even to visit his house.
The fishing is great, but Captain Nelson makes sure you enjoy every part of your trip!! Thank you again!

We had a great time on two trips aboard the High Zs we started off the first trip catching 2 decent size mahi mahi alongside missing another big fish. The captain and mate worked hard to do everything they could in order to put us on the fish as well make sure everyone on board was having a great time. We also were able to cook up our fish when we got back to the dock. I highly recommend booking a trip!
