There's a fish with your name on it in Aruba and El Fumo Charters will help you catch it! With Captain Rusty at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Great Barracuda, Yellowfin Tuna, Blue Marlin, Amberjack, Wahoo, Sailfish, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Yellowtail Amberjack, Red Snapper, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), White Marlin, Skipjack Tuna, and more are in the cards if conditions are right.
Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Parents should bring child-sized life vests, sunscreen, and snacks or food for their children. Feel free to bring any other essentials your kids may need throughout the trip!
You'll be welcome aboard a 30' Sportfishing that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, 2 fighting chair, everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Capt. Rusty will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Thanks so much for the 5-star review, John! It was an absolute pleasure having you out for some bottom fishing. Captain Rusty and Sion were stoked to get you on the fish, and we're thrilled you had a blast. Hope to welcome you back on board El Fumo Charters next time you're in Aruba!
