casa de campo — marina, la romana
Marina on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic, with fishing grounds between Parque Nacional del Este, Isla Catalina and Saona.
Marina Casa de Campo sits in the resort of the same name, in La Romana, on the Caribbean coast of the eastern Dominican Republic. Offshore grounds run from Parque Nacional del Este and Isla Catalina to Isla Saona, with deep water close to the marina. The main target is blue marlin, but white marlin, sailfish, swordfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo and yellowfin tuna also come in. Fishing is trolling with natural and artificial baits, aboard chartered boats with a captain and equipment. In season the marina runs the Marina Casa de Campo Cup, from March 15 to April 15, under IGFA rules, with points for blue marlin releases.

what you can catch here
before you fish in the Dominican Republic
CODOPESCA issues the Sport/Tourist Fishing License, requested at its headquarters (Santo Domingo) or at the agency's service stations, with a form, ID or passport (non-resident foreigners) and photos. The CODOPESCA services page lists RD$1,000 (checked in 2026). Law 307-04 requires a CODOPESCA license for anyone who practices sport fishing in the country. On a sport fishing boat, confirm with the operator whether the license is included.
- Freshwater and the sea up to 100 km from the coast (except the La Plata and La Navidad banks) are reserved for subsistence, artisanal, sport and scientific fishing; industrial fishing is prohibited in that belt (Law 307-04, art. 41).
- Fishing prohibited in spawning, breeding and nursery areas designated by CODOPESCA (Law 307-04, art. 42).
The rules and closed seasons in the rest of the app are Brazilian. Outside Brazil, the regulations of the country and province apply: confirm with the official agency.
