    Fantastic trip

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on April 4, 2026 • 3 adults

    We had an absolutely incredible day out on the water! The Captain, his son, and the first mate were all amazing—going above and beyond to help my son catch fish and making the entire experience unforgettable. The action was nonstop, and at one point we even had a double hookup with two mahi-mahi's on at the same time! One of them managed to break the line, but that only added to the excitement. I truly could not have asked for a better fishing trip. Huge thanks to the entire crew and family for such a fantastic day on the water—we’ll be talking about this one for a long time! 🎣🌊

    Great Trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 15, 2026 • 4 adults

    Nelson made the entire experience seamless from the very beginning, picking us up right from the cruise ship and getting us out on the water without any stress. His son Carlos was a huge help on the boat—always attentive, hardworking, and making sure everything ran smoothly. Our first mate Tario was just as impressive, bringing great energy and expertise that made the trip even more enjoyable. And of course, our captain did an outstanding job putting us on the fish. We had an incredible day, reeling in 6 barracudas and 1 mahi. To top it all off, the crew arranged for our catch to be cooked at a local restaurant in the marina village, which was the perfect way to end the experience. Great people, great fishing, and an all-around unforgettable day. The fellas will definitely be back.

    Bad string of luck was broken

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 14, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    After getting skunked in Bonaire and being blown off the water to only be able to do reef fishing in Aruba, the guys finally came through for me and my young boys in getting getting us on some fish. We caught three barracuda and a wahoo. seeing my boys faces light up at the sound of the drag squealing when that wahoo hit is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. The boat was clean the mate and captain were attentive. Everything was as expected.

    From pickup at our hotel to drop off, the crew was extremely friendly and welcoming. Captain Nelson is very knowledgeable and known in the area. My son's dream was to catch a Mahi Mahi, and they did not disappoint.

    Great Trip w/ a Great Crew

    Half Day Trip (AM) on May 20, 2025 • 6 adults

    We had a wonderful time fishing with High Z's Fishing. We were on a cruise, so we needed to be picked up from the port for our trip, and they were there waiting for us when we came off the boat. They took us right to the boat and got us on the water quickly. The crew was excellent! We had a great time learning and chatting with the captain. Our coolers were stocked with cold beer when we got there, so we were excited about that. The team did there best trying to put us on the fish, but unfortunately we did not catch our first ever marlin on the trip.......that's how it goes sometimes. We would definitely recommend using High Z's to anyone as it was still a fun and great experience. Thank you guys!

Great guys and great effort.

I spent my childhood fishing in the Caribbean waters. I am a 3rd generation fisherman, who grew up fishing with his dad and siblings at an early age. I have won many prestigious Billfish tournaments held in Ocean World, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Because of my curiosity for fishing at an early age, I asked many questions at the fishing docks to experienced fishermen which provided me with pointers and teaching methods. It was my passion for fishing that brought me to become a captain. On my full-day trips, you also get two-for-one with my passions, an experienced charter captain, and a chef! Cooking is another of my passions, so as a special service, we'll cook on board our catch for free.
