Our family had a great half day experience and would do it again in a heart beat. The crew was top notch. The owner was extremely nice. They even called and asked if we would like to moved our date because they thought the weather wasn’t going to be nice. The only complaint would be the toilet was not working correctly. We did try and do some fishing for the kids, but no luck. If you are wanting to strictly do fishing I don’t believe this is the boat for you. If you want to do some fishing while hanging out with the family in the sun and doing some snorkeling then this is the boat for you.

The Captain and mate were friendly but clearly not an experienced fishing crew. The boat was nice and clean but not at all a fishing boat. The crew had ZERO live bait and only a couple trolling baits. We asked to try bottom fishing after catching zero fish “trolling” and they did not have nearly enough weight for the wind and current so bottom fishing was not possible. We caught one tiny jack the entire trip. My son hooked a nice fish but the cheap cable leader they gave us to use broke with less than 10 lbs. of drag. Basically an expensive boat ride with an unprepared crew.

I had 2 trips with them. One for fishing and one for the family. Both were great success

The fishing trip took us past the reef with a mixture of trolling and fly fishing (I did bring my rod and flies). The crew was top, helping me with the choice of flies lures and bringing great fishing. In 3 hours we had more than 30 fish, 3 rod all bended more than once…. This was a non stop fishing.. The captain stops the boat so I could flyfish, but it was almost not necessary. Most of the time 4-5 jacks were following he one caught and were happy to get the fly :) We had a mixture of fish with white and yellow jacks, snappers, king mackerels and groupers.

the family trip was inshore (before the reefs) and was a lower pace but perfect for a relaxing day with the family. The crew could not stop to be helpful. We had some some snorkelling, the 1st mate was swimming everywhere trying to find some interesting views, and he found a flounder. We went to a “natural pool” ...being in the middle of the sea with 50cm of water is very strange, once again the 1st mate was trying hard and found a stingray and a huge hermit crab… All these with some fishing between the stops and we manage a couple of snappers….

All the admin was great and easy, dealing with them via email, the transport was on time and very friendly. The boats are very clean and well maintain. I would recommend them to everybody (fisherman or family) Just talk to them and explain what you would like.

The boat is spacious and clean, first of all.  If you are looking for a fishing charter, this might not be your boat, though.  I have chartered many boats over the last decade or so and my family and I have caught many, many species of fish.  I know the area off Punta Cana is considered great for fishing and very good during the time of our visit.  We caught two very small fish, one an amberjack and the other, we thought, was a rockfish of some sort.  Not a lot of variety of bait, just basically trolled and spin cast while anchored.  Equipment was just OK, but not the best quality.  Anchored in very choppy waters on a nice day with some fairly calm waters near us and two of my sons got motion sickness while trying to fish.  One of them was worse than the other.  Captain and crew were nice, but we never discussed any fishing plan, just began by trolling in the marina and eventually worked our way out to the sea after a while.  Food was Tostito’s and a jar of salsa and a jar of queso.  Were not enough sandwiches, but there was plenty of beer and water.  Just seemed like we were on a route of some sort and not going to any fishing spots that might have been saved in a GPS.  Usually fishing charter captains will communicate with other captains to see where the fish are.  We didn’t have that.  If you want to cruise around the Caribbean Sea, do a little snorkeling and swim, this would be a good boat for you.  If your primary purpose for charting is fishing, it probably is not the one.

Had a great time on the Rich and Famous cruise.  The captain and mate were very knowledgable and accomodating.  The captain put us on fish right away and even the less experienced anglers caught fish.  The non-anglers in our party of eight commented that they wished every fishing trip could be this much fun.
