J-String 

We had an absolutely wonderful time fishing aboard the J String with Captains Eddie and Jonathan! 🎣 From start to finish, they were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. Jonathan was extremely knowledgeable about deep-sea fishing and did a great job making sure we understood what we were doing and had the best opportunity to catch some fish. We were fortunate enough to catch a couple, and the entire experience was so much fun! The boat was very comfortable, and having an air-conditioned cabin and restroom was a huge plus. They also provided beverages, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate the hospitality and the effort Captains Eddie and Jonathan put into making our day on the water such a great experience. I would highly recommend the J String to anyone looking for a great fishing charter in Aruba. We had such a great time that when we come back to Aruba, we’ll definitely be booking with them again! 🎣🌴☀️ Thank you, Captains Eddie and Jonathan, for an unforgettable fishing experience!

Had a great trip with J-Shring Charter today. Captain Eddie and his son Jonathan did an awesome job from start to finish. We landed two mahi and a tuna, all keepers, and Eddie even handled getting the fish set up to be prepared at the restaurant afterward. Both of them were super friendly, great with the kids, and made the whole family trip fun and easy. They also took the time to explain what we were doing and what was happening throughout the trip, which made it even better. Great conversation, great fishing, and a great experience overall. Definitely recommend J-Shring Charter if you’re looking to get out on the water in Aruba!

Fishing was a but slow, caught 4 albacore tuna. Took enough for Lucy’s to cook up at the marina. Crew worked hard to put fish in the boat. constantly checking baits, changing rigs to see if something else will produce a bite. Very friendly, chatted most of the trip. If I recall correctly we had 5 rods out, three teaser rigs, and a kinda down rigger hand line. One of the albacore caught I pulled in with the handline, that was a first for me. I did a lot of review reading on fishbooker before choosing J-String. Great reviews, and just seemed like they took their fishing seriously. That reflected on my trip. Again, it was a little slow, but no matter how great the crew is, its still fishing. Next time im in Aruba I would without hesitstion go out with J-String again.

Me and my wife went out for a 6 hour fishing trip while we were in Aruba. Both captain and first mate had great energy and worked hard for us to catch fish. They were on time and ready to go when we arrived at the boat. We ended up catching 9 fish total. 6 Bonita's. 2 Mahi Mahi. 1 Tuna. During our fishing trip we also had a pod of dolphins racing the boat and fully jumping out of the water. Was a great surprise. Finally after we got done fishing the crew set us up with Driftwood restaurant where they cooked our Mahi Mahi and Tuna for dinner (for a small fee). It ended up being a great dinner. I would highly recommend J String!

We went out on the J String at 7am. The boat was stocked up with plenty of cold beverages. Captain Eddie and First Mate Jonathon were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The boat was clean and well outfitted. We went on a 6 hour trip. The first two hours went a little slow as the fish weren't biting. Captain Eddie changed things up and went a little father to sea. Eddie saw the birds diving in the water as the water boiled with activity and steered us towards the fish. Jonathon was busy changing lures and baits to get us on the bite. We hooked on 9 fish and landed 8. Final catch was 7 Black fin Tuna and 1 Barracuda. After we came back to dockside Jonathon cleaned the fish and banded them up to go to the driftwood for our dinner. Captain Eddie called ahead our dinner reservation for us.This family run business will get you on the fish and I would highly recommend them.

Jonathan and his dad (the captain) where extremely kind and welcoming. Very knowledgeable about all things fishing and fish. I was with my two children (13 and 9) and each caught fish! We caught Mahi and Tuna. Jonathan would change up the bait if nothing was biting versus some charters that just keep the same bait and hope something bites. there were a total of 7 poles going and one other line that I cant remember what it was called. He explained how the various lines are rigged so lines dont get tangled. The sea was rough but the Captain managed to keep the extreme rocking of the boat a minimum. i would recommend and if we return to the island i will book them again.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in Aruba, look no further than J-String Charter Boat! We booked this trip shortly after booking our cruise and had been looking forward to it for months. When our cruise line unexpectedly changed our itinerary and altered our Aruba arrival/departure times, Captain Eddie went above and beyond to accommodate us — even adjusting their typical schedule around our ship’s arrival. That level of customer service alone was impressive. This father-and-son duo truly made us feel like part of their family for the day. They were welcoming, hardworking, and determined to make sure we had a great experience. They kept multiple lines in the water at all times and worked nonstop to put us on fish. The day was a success — we caught 4 fish total: 2 mahi mahi, a blackfin tuna, and a bonita! The excitement, hospitality, and overall experience made this one of the highlights of our trip. We would absolutely book with them again the next time we’re back in Aruba. Highly recommend!

Went with one new and 2 experienced anglers with high hopes! (of course) The captain did not disappoint! He put us on fish in less than an hour. His son, Jonathan, had the lines, bait, teasers- everything set up for us to successfully catch fish. At times we were reeling in 2 & 3 at a time! Wind and waves are definitely no joke. The nausea was bad for all of us but we chummed up the water and caught more fish! :) The captain was an expert at navigating us thru the waters. The captain and Jonathan are true experts and extremely friendly! They were happy to teach and share their wisdom. Jonathan was one of the best first mates we’ve worked with :) We highly recommend!

Highly recommend j-string, experience was amazing! They had high quality equipment to make sure we were landing the fish on the boat. Jonathan was quick to react to everything, he knew when to switch things up, not only did he answer our questions but he took initiative to teach beyond what we could think of asking. He was extremely smart about everything we talked about. Jonathan also vibed along with us as if we had been friends for years. We felt super welcome. We will definitely be booking with them again! Thank you Eddy and Jonathan for checking another thing off our bucket list!

well, we have come here the kast two year and fished on two different boats with Two different crews. caught 1 Wahoo last year with a couple bites. caught 2 fish (needle fish and a Bonita) this year with a couple bites on baits. not sure what the best time of year to fish is but, i can tell ypu that on both trips, it wasnt for lack of trying. these guys switched baits, live and lure often and tried as hard as they could. both crews were as personable as could be and we had a lot of fun. we would fish with either crew again. cant always catch’m but it makes it all the better when it happens. and you cant put a price on fishing woth your Family!! thank you JString.
