They answered questions both over the phone and through email. Never luxuries.
shed in the Dominican Republic, I had questions about fishing license, permits, and what was provided. He answered all my questions in an email and I referenced it several times over the months to our trip.
You do not need any fishing license or permits. You do not pay for anything additional. We were told to bring towels, hats and sunscreen. We brought drammamine and we were glad that we did. We own a boat in US and are used to rolling in small waves. The six to eight foot swells and occasionally larger had everyone a little sea sick. The deck hand said everyday is like this. One of the four of us was sick the whole trip,
We were originally scheduled for Wednesday morning, but since they only had us, scheduled it was not enough people to allow the boat expenses to break even.
They gave us the option to charter the boat for just the two of us by paying an additional $350, which is a good deal, or reschedule for the next day. We went with the next morning.
They picked the two of us up at seven am and the two more fishermen at two there resorts. We were told there would be another two, but when we arrived at the marina, we loaded on a tender and were carried out to a large offshore boat. They said it was 45 foot, and it looked it. It was ery old, but very clean. It was a very expensive boat when new. My wife and I have a 23 year old boat, so we don't have a problem with older boats when they are kept in good order.
Within fifteen minutes after leaving the rolling started, and didn't stop till we were back. We are used to the gulf of Mexico in Texas, but this made us feel sick. I can only imagine how bad it would be without the dramamine
The captain went out to some bouys and found some fish. From the flybridge he could see the schools of fish. Then he would circle near them. Each time one to three lines being trolled would hook up.
The captain rotated us to take turns reeling them in. We all caught until we were tired. At 9 mahomahi we headed back. Once we started catching fish, we had a great time.
The deck hand says that the seas are always like that and sometimes larger.
They fileted a fish for our resort to cook for me, and took us back to shore for pictures. We had a great time. They spoke English and Spanish fluently and we always felt comfortable and safe with them. Captain Leo and deck hand Hector impressed us with their skills. We gladly tipped, Hector never stopped working, always preparing baited leads, pulling in fish, cleaning up, or other tasks.
They had water, coke, and rum available. They offered a drink often, but we were not feeling well enough to drink anything. The only guy who did drink some water, fed the fish several times.
My wife and I had a great time.
