It might seem impossible to make your Aruban vacation even better. Tropical beaches, crystal water, and sunshine all day – what more could you ask for? Take things to the next level by spending a day with "Tropic Charters" and see just how exciting things get when you go beyond the shoreline!
Hop aboard a 42’ Ocean Yachts convertible, which can accommodate up to 6 guests. This spacious fishing machine was restored in 2019 and is equipped with the latest navigational electronics. She also features twin 450 HP Detroit engines that get you where you want to go in no time.
To make your stay on the boat even more comfortable, there’s a fully functional kitchen, a private bathroom, a huge lounge area, and two bedrooms with king-sized beds. This beautiful vessel is literally a floating house equipped with top-notch fishing gear!
You’ll go after Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Barracuda in these productive waters. It all depends on the season, your angling skills, and sometimes a little luck. Your captain is also happy to clean enough catch for you to take home for dinner at the end of the trip.
You’ll be provided with Penn reels, Scalibur rods, and a variety of lures. There are already some soft drinks on the boat, but feel free to bring your own beverages and food. Anglers of all skill levels and families with children are welcome! Kids must be at least 3 years old!
Pick a trip with Tropic Charters and enjoy your vacation to the fullest!

Half Day Trip (AM)
We had an amazing fishing trip while in Aruba thanks to Captain Kenny and Dennis. They worked very hard to keep all the lines out and baited, and their work paid off! My son was over the moon excited about catching a mahi mahi! We are so glad we chose them from all of the fishing options out there and would 100% book again with them without hesitation! Helpful tips no one tells you- If you are staying at the Renaissance, you can walk right to their boat which was super convenient. Captain Kenny was a pro at filleting our fish right at the dock when we got back. We took our fish to Kalin's restaurant which is right next to the pier (and the Renaissance) and they grilled the mahi mahi to perfection!! Thank you for an excellent fishing trip!

3/4 Day Trip
I booked a 6hr charter for me, my two teenage sons and parents. The captain and deckhand were great in all aspects of the trip. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to get us on a few fish even though it was a slow time of year. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do a private charter

Morning started slow then we got into some Mahi. Hooked into a huge bull. About 35 lbs. Wasn't very long we hooked into a nice king. The captain Kenny and first mate Dennis worked hard to get us some action. Would highly recommend this boat and crew. Watch out for Dennis he has quite the sense of humor.
