Make the most of your time in Oranjestad with Lucky Star Fishing Charter!

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!

What to Expect:
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.

Bring the Whole Family:
Children are welcome on board! Be sure to check if child-sized life vests are available or bring your own. Don't forget to pack snacks to keep everyone energized for the adventure.

About the Vessel:
You'll be fishing aboard a comfortable 35' Luhrs sportfishing boat that accommodates up to 8 passengers. The first 4 passengers are included in the trip price, and an additional $25 per person will be charged for each passenger beyond that. The boat is fully equipped with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and a toilet for your convenience—everything you need for a successful and comfortable day on the water.

What's Included:

Fishing Gear: Rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Live bait is available; ask the captain if you'll be catching it during the trip.
Fishing License: Covered by the charter—just show up ready to fish!
Drinks: Complimentary water and Coca-Cola are provided to keep you refreshed throughout the trip.
Important Notes:
Some fish species are regulated, so check with the captain if you're unsure about catch-and-keep rules. Pack essentials like sunglasses, non-spray sunblock, and bottled water.

Great adventure
Bottom Fishing HALF DAY - 2:00 PM on April 14, 20262 adults2 children

We spontaneously decided in the morning to go on a guided fishing trip with our family in the afternoon. We were able to rely on the flexibility of the Lucky Star. The trip was very professional and superbly organized. The crew was incredibly friendly and attentive to everyone's needs. This resulted in a highly successful trip with lots of fish caught (which isn't always the case). As a family, we had a great time and felt completely taken care of. Highly recommended.

caught about a dozen fish, the Captain and mate were very helpful, would definitely use them again next year!!
Bottom Fishing HALF DAY on July 6, 20265 adults

Captain was very informative, went over his rules, told us what types of fish we would be trying to catch. Told us several facts about the island, the differences between what fishing charters you wanted to take. Overall it was a wonderful experience out on the water for four hours, catching about a dozen fish… He did say that the current was very strong on our day and we should have caught more..

Great family day out
Bottom Fishing HALF DAY on December 5, 20254 adults

We took our two boys out for a fishing trip on our last full day here in Aruba. We had the best time with Lucky Star! So many laughs and the fishing was the best! As soon as we dropped our lines in the water we were catching fish. It rained a bit but it didn't stop us from bringing in two big trigger fish. Our boys were so excited to catch such a massive fish for bottom fishing!! We will definitely be back to fish with Gary and Greg!!! Please tell Charlie the pelican we said goodbye!!! Thanks guys!!!

My journey in fishing began at the age of 12, casting lines by hand from the beach, driven by a deep passion for the sea. At 14, I faced the challenge of proving myself in a tough industry, struggling to find a captain who believed in me. Finally, I got my break and started as a maid on a fishing charter. After four years of hard work, dedication, and learning everything I could, I accomplished my dream—I purchased the charter from my captain and became a captain myself. Today, with years of experience and a lifelong connection to the ocean, I take great pride in sharing my love for fishing with others, offering unforgettable adventures and memories for all who join me on the water.
