Good to know
Know before you go
This fishing trip requires moderate fitness. It isn't recommended during pregnancy or with spinal injuries. Poor cardiovascular health is also a restriction, so choosing the shorter charter doesn't remove those conditions for the people in your group.
Mar-Quesa takes up to 8 guests even though the booking form allows more. Your private group must fit that boat allowance. The booking is accepted instantly and the ticket is mobile only, with the emailed invoice needed for redemption.
Collection covers Punta Cana and Bávaro as well as Uvero Alto and Cabeza de Toro. The pickup window is 30 minutes before departure. Check your hotel's exact instructions so the group is ready at the right meeting point for the private ride.
The invoice sent by email needs to be presented for the trip. Keep it accessible with your mobile ticket before leaving the hotel. That document is separate from choosing a departure time and is part of preparing to redeem your booking.
Fishing tackle and bait are included with the license. The captain and mate assist during the charter, so your group doesn't need to bring its own fishing setup. Tips are excluded and can be handled separately from the boat booking.
Poor weather can cancel the charter. A full refund for your own cancellation needs at least 24 hours before departure. You won't receive a refund after that cutoff, so the final headcount is worth settling before the deadline passes.

People also ask
- How much is the Mar-Quesa fishing charter in Punta Cana?
The charter costs from $600 per boat for up to 8. The lowest-priced option is the 4-hour afternoon trip, with longer outings costing more. Your group gets private transport and the fishing equipment, so the boat booking covers more than just time aboard.
- What time does the Mar-Quesa afternoon charter leave?
The afternoon charter leaves at 1 p.m. and lasts 4 hours. Morning options start at 7 a.m. with longer sessions available too. Your hotel collection comes before the sailing, so an afternoon choice still needs room for pickup after your meal ashore.
- Is food included on the Mar-Quesa fishing boat?
The 4-hour trip doesn't include food. Nachos come with the 6-hour option, while the 9-hour version adds sandwiches and fruit. The longest outing also includes Gatorade, so the food provision changes with the selected duration rather than being identical on every departure.
- What kind of fishing does Mar-Quesa offer off Punta Cana?
The crew uses heavy tackle and trolling on the 4-hour charter and longer options. Target fish include mahi-mahi and marlin. Equipment and bait are supplied, but those target species aren't a catch guarantee for your group on a particular day at sea.
- Can you book a longer Mar-Quesa fishing charter?
Yes, morning options run for 6 or 9 hours. They start at 7 a.m. and give your group more time offshore than the short trip. The longer duration also changes the food included, so your choice affects meal planning as well as fishing time.
