Deep Sea Fishing
Activities

Deep Sea Fishing

The seas off Punta Cana are ideal for deep sea fishing. You'll cruise out into the open ocean in search of perfect fishing locations, cast your fishing rods over the edge of the boat and wait in beautiful surroundings for a fish to take the bait with other like-minded guests. You can go on either a morning or afternoon expedition and if you're not into fishing, you can just enjoy the boat trip.You'll have four hours of tracking and fishing. Of course, it won't be all work and no play – there'll be multiple fishing rods so that every guest can take it in turns to reel the prize in.While you're waiting patiently, you'll be able to help yourself from the self-service cooler on deck. But make sure you keep a close eye on the rods for signs of a bite as you never know when luck might strike. And if fishings not your thing, take the time to catch some rays on deck and enjoy a soft drink.
