Sunrise Charters N.V. 

We took our family of five — three kids ages 8, 10, and 13 — out with Captain Marcelino and first mate Alexander on a 4-hour deep sea AM trip and it completely exceeded every expectation we had. The catch alone was unreal for 4 hours: 8 tuna, 1 barracuda, and 1 king mackerel. But the moment that made this trip truly special was when our 10-year-old daughter Remi caught her very first fish ever. Captain Marcelino and Alexander made that moment everything it should have been — and Alexander was absolutely amazing with all three of our kids the entire time. Patient, fun, and genuinely invested in making sure they had the best possible experience on the water. The boat was in great shape, Captain Marcelino clearly knows these waters inside and out, and the whole crew made a family of five feel completely taken care of from start to finish. We were back at the marina by 11 AM with a full cooler and memories that will last a lifetime. We grilled the fresh catch that same night. It doesn’t get more full-circle than that. If you’re going to Aruba with kids and on the fence about a fishing charter — Sunrise Charters with Captain Marcelino and Alexander is the one. Five stars without hesitation. 🎣🌴

I had never been deep sea fishing before and honestly did not know what I was getting into. The captain and crew were great, handled everything, and clearly knew these waters well. We got a hit almost immediately after the lines went in, which set the tone for the whole morning. By the end of the trip we had caught 2 mahi mahi, 2 king mackerel, and a barracuda. We saw other boats come back empty, so walking away with 5 fish felt pretty incredible. The crew cleaned and packaged our share for us to take back and we headed home with enough fresh fish to cook dinner for four people that night at our rental. If you are in Aruba and even a little curious about trying deep sea fishing, just go. We are already talking about doing it again.

The crew was absolutely amazing and helped us catch huge fish! We learned a lot about fishing in the caribbean and they accommodated to what our group needed. It was so much fun and I cant wait to do it again! Would recommend this over and over to anyone wanting a good time on the water!

Todays trip was outstanding, huge thanks to Capt. Rob and Alex. The boat was well-equipped, with shade and ice cold water if needed while having plenty of room to fish. First Mate Alex was enthusiastic, funny, helpful, and kept the energy up during the brief lull of catching fish. His positive attitude and great vibe made a welcoming experience for my two boys (7 & 4 years old) first time deep sea fishing. Capt. Rob was very patient and helpful with my 4 year old son. Showed him some tips and kept him on the rod, catching the most fish of us all. Todays trip was outstanding, huge thanks to Capt. Rob and Alex.

Today was an unforgettable, seamless experience from start to finish. Could not have asked for a better day out fishing.

Despite the choppy water and fish being somewhat elusive, the trip was outstanding—largely thanks to Alex. When we did find fish, Alex was exceptional. The boat itself was clean, well-equipped, and more than capable, but Alex, the first mate, truly made the experience. He was enthusiastic, patient, and genuinely funny, keeping the energy high even when the action slowed. His positive attitude and great vibe made a noticeable difference for our entire family. We ended up catching wahoo, yellowfin, blackfin, and even some barracuda. After the trip, Alex expertly cleaned all the fish and recommended a nearby restaurant that cooked our catch immediately. It was a fantastic, seamless experience from start to finish. A great day on the water and a memorable experience for my family—thanks to Alex.

Captain Marcelino and his first mate Alexander were top notch. On our 6 hour adventure, Alexander worked his tail off constantly, changing out bait during lulls and keeping the atmosphere and vibes always positive and energetic. You will not be be disappointed.

We caught 5 barracuda, one kingfish and one Travale. Capt. Marcelino and first mate Alex worked hard to get us on fish even though the sea was rough today. I was able to hand line a Kingfish and Travale which made the trip even better.

I booked this fishing charter, and it did not dispoint. The captin and mate were great. They treated my family wonderful. We caught King Mackerel, Barracuda, and Waoo. I would highly recommend them.

They did a great job. we caught 2 black fin tuba, 2 bonito, and a barracuda in 4 hours. They expertly cleaned the fish while entertaining us and the pelicans. We delivered the fish to Hadicuri restaurant immediately at the dock, and we had an amazing fish dinner that night. Prepared 3 ways. Great bang for our entertainment dollars.

was looking forward to this charter. it was my first deep sea charter and it didn’t disappoint! We didn’t get that “trophy” fish we were hoping for but it wasn’t from the crew not trying for us. we caught two barracuda and a black fin tuna. I booked a four hour excursion but i wished a booked a longer one. Ship was the best at the dock and the crew was the best. when we come back, we’ll be booking another charter with them for sure and I’m already looking forward to it!
