Embark on an unforgettable fishing adventure with Captain Gregory, a seasoned expert with 38 years of experience who knows these tides like the back of his hand. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned angler, you’ll have the chance to reel in impressive catches such as Amberjack, Barracuda, Bonito, Mahi Mahi, White Marlin, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, and even sharks like Hammerhead, Bull, Mako, and Tiger Shark—with a bit of luck, of course!

On these trips, you’ll have the option to choose between deep sea fishing or bottom fishing, two popular techniques for these rich waters. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to take home, and with complimentary catch cleaning available, you can bring your fresh catch straight to the dinner table.

Bottom Fishing (6 am to 10 am) on June 2, 2025
Lucky Star is definitely highly recommended for anyone looking for some good fishing out of Aruba, especially for bottom fishing and any other options. Though the boat can become crowded for a party larger than four or five people, it will not get in the way of some positive fishing and also positive hospitality out its crew as well as perfect timing for any specific hour of the day that someone wants to go for fishing, be it the morning (6-10), afternoon, (10-2), or even some night fishing (2-6/6-12). Overall, I good pick for chartering into the waters of Aruba😁👍.

Huge Wahoo!!!
Deep Sea Fishing (6 am to 10 am) on March 26, 2025
The captain and mate were on time, very educational and patient. Coming from Florida and Ohio, we wanted the full experience and we got it! We learned about the fish, the island, the culture and relaxed while we soaked in the views. We caught a 50 lb wahoo and they cleaned our catch before we took it to the resort to eat for dinner! Real deal fishing with true locals who appreciate their homeland.

Great Morning Bottom Fishing
Bottom Fishing (6 am to 10 am) on April 4, 2025
Gregory & Gary took me out to their spot by 6AM - after a few tips to maneuver the rocky bottom, we were catching fish. They were hustling to keep bait fresh and lines in the water. Few grouper, more yellow tail snapper than I could count (& a bunch of little grunts too ) - but a great morning out.

Fun experience, but extremely overpriced.
Deep Sea Fishing (6 am to 10 am) on February 7, 2025
I’ve fished every continent and this fishing experience was a little different. We didn’t bait the hooks or cast out. We reeled in when a bite happened. I’m more of a hands on fisherman. I enjoyed the captain and first mate. I got a little sea sick, but they were entertaining and it made the day go by better. I would recommend this again, but this is the most I have ever paid for deep sea fishing. It was nice it was a private tour. All in all I enjoyed myself. We caught 7 Atlantic Bonito
