Booked an 8 hour charter with Tom and crew and it was an action packed trip. The boat was clean and very comfortable despite somewhat rough seas. We caught a large number of mahi, a few barracuda, and a couple of blackfin tuna. Tom and his mate cleaned the fish and we had our fresh caught fish at three different restaurants on the island (Fish House next to the Marina, Driftwood, and Elements). Each had their own method of prep and were delicious. Strongly recommend this charter.
Captain Tom and Mate Chris were great. they were very welcoming, responsive, knowledgeable and friednly. we caught 2 mahi 3 black fin 1 yellow fin and 1 barracuda. Captain knows where the fish are. We had a few take downs that spit the hook too. chris worked to change baits and colors to make sure we were using what the fish were biting. he cleaned and bagged our fish for us as well. higly recommend these guys. we will be back and book with these guys again!

Captain Tom and his first mate Chris were fantastic. Started out a little slow. Left the dock at 6am, didn’t have a fish in the boat until about 9am( a real nice wahoo, just fit into a 150qt cooler). Then we proceeded to catch 2 more wahoo’s, 1 barracuda, and 5 black fin tunas. Two of my crew mates got seasick and we wrapped it up by 10:30ish. All those fish in 2 hours. Capt Tom did a nice job cleaning our catch, gave us enough for 16 people who were back at the house. Grilled wahoo and barracuda with tuna sashimi, everyone loved it. I will definitely book Capt Tom next time I’m in Aruba.🎣🐟👍
Captain Tom and Chris were the best caugt all kinds of fish (Mahi, Tuna, and Sailfish came all the way from Seattle and recommended this charter to everyone
Today, 1/12/26 I fished with High Times Charters. Tom and his first mate Chris were awesome! They worked tirelessly to put me on the fish and were very accommodating. We caught Bonito and Kingfish. I had the best time and would recommend fishing with them to anyone. They filleted the fish back at the dock and sent me home with some and even suggested a local resturaunt that prepared the fish for us! I highly recommend fishing with High Times!
This is by far the best fishing guide on the island. Capt Tom and 1st mate Chris are top notch! Last year we loaded up the mahi and tuna. This year we caught mahi and sailfish!!!! what a blast!!!!!!! Will definitely be booking next year when we come back. 
captain tom and mate chris were top tier, captain tom got us on fish within the first hour and mate chris was spot on and focused on setting up and watching everything. got to experience a giant wahoo on “ the roseary “ a local fishing technique. high times was a great fishi by experience captain and mate were awaome people caught a total of 12 fish i did an 8 hour trip 6am-2pm highly recommend charter from my experience
Our time with captain Tom was great. Him and his mate are very knowledgeable and welcoming. Unfortunately had a slow day but its fishing at the end of the day and they were still able to get us on 3 fish. Would definitely recommend
Had a great day on the boat with Captain Tom and crew! Probably the most customer friendly boat i have ever been on. Loungers and shade all day! Perfect! Will be back for sure! Thank you!
we had a great time - we caught only a few fish but there was a lot of biting that morning! captain Tom and his first mate definitely had a well organized system, so we enjoyed just watching them get everything set up for us. their set up and instructions made it easy to jump in and reel one in when we did get a bite!
