Comments: Hi Mike, Just wanted to let you know that we had a great time deep sea fishing and best of all the catch of the White Marlin, made our day!! We will be back sometime next year and will be going fishing again!! We'll pass the word on in our review on Trip Advisor about your company! Once again, thank you for a great fishing experience! Pat & Steve
Mike,
Hats off to Capt Julio and his mate Luis for all their hard work! What a day of fishing! Non stop action from the time we left the marina! Less than an hour into our charter we had Marlin on our tail! We had the first Marlin on board shortly after that! About an hour later we were into the dorado! We hooked up with 5 all at the same time! The lines were smokin'! Action packed to say the least and we managed to keep all the lines untangled! An hour later we had our second Marlin of the day! Now with two Marlin and five dorado one would call that a super day of fishing but wait.......we hooked into the THIRD Marlin of the day! WOW! What a very special day on the water! We trolled for about two more hours and Luis thought we had a wahoo hit one of the lines but missed the hook! Quite frankly, the boys from Iowa were wore out from all the reeling on this day! You most definately topped our Cabo San Lucas trip! Thanks again for an awesome fishing adventure! We will no doubt book with you on our next trip and HIGHLY recommend you and your crew! Thanks Again to Mike, Julio and Luis for all your hard work!
The Boys from Iowa!

-------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Mike,
We just wanted to thank-you and your crew for a memorable trip on April 8th. It was a lot of fun and even though we were a little more seasick then we had thought that we would be. It was worth it when we brought in that Marlin.
Please thank your crew again for us.
All the Best,
Mike.

But of course, we will.
Top notch vessels, equipment and a wonderful Captain and his hardworking Crew who braved huge swells and windy conditions to help us catch this fine sailfish.
The pre-service was excellent, with many emails between Mike and myself regarding everything from sharks to sea-sickness and how to cope with it. Pick up was right on time, it was us that was 5 minutes late! My bad.
This once in a lifetime fish was THE highlight of my SO’s trip.
Thank you, Mike
You da Man. Michelle and Lorne

Hello Mike,
We just wanted to tell you Thank You for the terrific time we had on the \\\Boat name deleted b/c no longer operating by the standards of Mike's Marina\\\. We also want to give a Big Thank You to Julio (our captain) and Luis (our deckhand). They were great. It was our second day on the boat and we were already 3 hours into our 4 hour trip. We had given up and were satisfied that we still enjoyed our time. But then Luis yells up to Julio to turn the boat and head in the direction he was pointing. Boy he had some good eyes that day. As we hit the location Luis pointed at, we hit not one and not two but three Fish On. I do love my husband as it was already decided that I would get to reel in the first fish. Thanks to the reel chair I reeled in two before he reeled in one. I know, I know, I had the advantage. As you can see in the pictures, we had a great time.
Anyone planning on going fishing while in Punta Cana, I would highly recommend Mike's Marina. Our crew continuiouly changed the bait and scouted for fish the entire time we were out at sea. We are already planning a two week vacation in December and can't wait to fish with them again.
Again, Thank you Mike, Julio and Luis
Your friends,

mike,
just wanted to drop a note about our fishing charter - it was great! the first 2 hrs with the 6-8 ft seas was interesting to say the least, but when the captain and 1st mate saw some birds in the distance, as soon as we got to that location we hooked a large dorado and while trying to reel that one in hit on another large dorado. we catch 4 dorado and 1 baracuda during our charter. thanks for a great time.
Hola! What a fabulous experience we had. My son, Derek, had a day he will never forget. The captain and crew were terrific.
Also thank you for hooking us up with Roberto on the Patatutu and extend our thanks to him and his crew..........what a great time!!! See attached pictures.
