4 Hour Trip (AM)

Great crew that worked hard and got us some fish!

VERIFIED
NEW

Captain G, Enrique and Darwin were the best! We left on time, the boat was clean and they made every effort to keep the lines and teasers in the water at all times. When fish were on, the crew did not take the line for themselves like a lot of charters. Once the fish was hooked, they put you in the chair to reel them in and set you up for photos once the fish were in the boat. I brought my daughter, but she was made to feel comfortable by these gentlemen, and they did not treat her like she was a “helpless girl”. They were respectful and let her do the hard reeling just like they did for me. They even offered us the fish at the end. We d go with this crew again!

Book with Jairo!

We took our family sport fishing with Captain Jairo! There was 5 of us, 3 children. His crew was the best! They were friendly, explained what type of bait and rods they were using and what would happen when there was a fish on! We were only out for about a half hour and we had already caught 6 mahi. Each of us got to reel in a fish, and it was such a cool experience! They were very professional and really knew the water! Once we hit the 2 hour mark, we had to head in due to the rough water and starting to feel a bit sea sick. We wish we would’ve made it the full four hours, but it was definitely worth it! Once we got off the captain cleaned our fish and took photos of us with our catch. They recommended a nearby restaurant, Driftwood, who cooked up our fish for us 5 different ways. The captain asked us what time we wanted dinner, secured our reservation and we were set! They also recommended the best way to have the dish prepared (blackened and garlic) which were both fantastic! If you’re considering booking a fishing trip in Aruba, look no further!! Thank you Jairo and sons! ❤️

What a day!!!

This was our first Aruba fishing experience. After heafty research we decided to go with Let’s go sport fishing. What a great decision. The Captain and mate welcomed us like family. The dock was easy to find. Within 10minutes of departure our catch had begun. Meat hit the deck right away. Waters were rough but this seasoned captain made us feel like we were in good hands. Our catch continued and at the end of the day we were able to feed ten people plus take fish home to the states. Mahi-mahi, Bonita, and black fin tuna rounded out our meal later that night. We highly recommend this boat. Next trip we will definitely be booking again! Bon vini!!

Here’s a short, positive review you could post about your fishing trip: --- "Unforgettable fishing trip with my 3 sons (11, 13, and 17)! We had an amazing day out on the water — the weather was perfect, the crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and the excitement never stopped. We reeled in 3 beautiful mahi-mahi and even landed 1 impressive swordfish. Watching my kids experience the thrill of the catch was priceless. Definitely a memory we’ll treasure forever.

Great Fishing Trip!

My 15 year old son and I had a great trip today with Captain Enrique and Mate Gideon. Both of them were super nice and helpful. Most of our time was spent with Gideon and I was very impressed with his fishing knowledge and outlook on life as a 19 year old. They had us a cooler full of Mahi about halfway into our 4 hour trip and by lunchtime I was back at my condo eating fresh Mahi. It doesn’t get any better that that! I would definitely recommend Let’s go Fishing Aruba!
