Boat Charters

Ocean World counts with the largest and most respected fishing charter fleet in Puerto Plata, with very experienced crew. We also offer slightly larger, vessels with more comfort, known as our mid range cruisers.

Right off Puerto Plata's Ocean World Marina, you will fish for Marlin, Dorado, Wahoo, Tuna and Mackerel and will have a good chance of seeing sea turtles, dolphins, huge rays as well as whales (during January and February).

Our Puerto Plata Fishing business is built on the continued support and referrals from friends and clients like you. Our reputation comes from a tradition of providing exciting Sportfishing trips with local hospitality and knowledge at competitive prices. Over the years we have had the exciting opportunity to introduce a great many Amigos to the fantastic Sportfishing of Dominican Republic.


Fishing the waters around Puerto Plata continues to produce an epic number of multiple Marlin days - even when things are slow they are still pretty good. Marlin are caught year round as well as many other pelagic game fish species. The Puerto Plata Fishing area boasts a hefty 25,000 billfish hook-ups a year! Striped Marlin are routinely caught right outside the marina but larger Blues and Sailfish are generally prowling the submerged banks around the coast on the northeast side of Puerto Plata. A typical day's fishing involves pulling lures around these submerged banks and casting baits to Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado and Tuna along the drop-offs.

Our boats are equipped with fighting chairs for the larger blues and other game fish plus the latest fish tackle for the chair or stand-up. All tackle is in the 30#-130# class and is in top working condition. We provide all Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, and Dorado lures you need. In addition, the boats are equipped with shade and facilities (restrooms).

Your crew consists of an experienced native fishing captain and mate to help with rigging, finding, and hooking the fish. These are the most productive, finest, and fastest boats and crew on Puerto Plata.
