Just got back from a great trip to the Dominican, most days were on the beach but we did a little ATV ride one day and another day we were 100% going fishing no matter what (we chose the "best seas forecasted day" for the week). I've done a lot of charter trips and been out in bad seas where captain offered money back to anyone who wanted to cancel before we left etc and ends up most of the boat was puking but I was always good. While I didn't yak this trip I def got a little sea sick. 9' swells 7-9 seconds apart in a 32' boat was rough, the boat wasn't really set up to handle this comfortably for the 6 people on board either. We had one guy in the group down for the count 15 minutes into the seas. Apparently that is the norm out there going from Cap Cana, DR - the reviews online report same conditions most trips whether catching fish or not (didn't look this up beforehand). We didn't catch anything but the charter does have decent reviews on catching so I can't say rough seas means no fish but wow that was an experience. I would have left the wife behind but she wants to rough it through things sometimes, I would have left myself behind if I had truly known what the seas would be like. I'll do a lot more research before just settling on going out no matter where we are. Just my little lesson, more research, I went a little too mind numbed tourist on this decision. Anyone ever been out of Cap Cana/Punta Cana?
