Around Aruba Tours Fishing Charter
Around Aruba Tours invites you on their boat “Positive Vibes” for an unforgettable adventure. The crew members are locals to Aruba who have fished with their families for generations along this beautiful island. They know the best and most secluded spots where you can catch plenty of fish and have a great time!
They will take you out aboard a 36’ Barracuda center console boat, originally built in 2016. This brand new beauty is powered by two 250 HP Honda engines that make it stable and speedy on the water. The boat features all the necessary electronics such as a GPS, safety equipment such as life jackets, and fishing gear.
The crew will take you fishing in the Oranjestad nearshore and offshore waters, the reefs and wrecks, and in the hidden spots that only the true Arubans know about. You will top fishing gear to target bottom-dwelling fish like Grouper, Snapper, and Flounder. You can also catch pelagics such as the beautiful Mahi Mahi, and offshore species luke Rainbow Runner, Barracuda, and Wahoo.
Their experienced captain and crew know all the right spots to drop anchor and get your lines wet for some great fishing. Book your charter now, nothing beats a day (or night) of fishing, except fishing with the Positive Vibes crew while in Aruba.
Join Around Aruba Tours and explore the beautiful waters off the coast of Aruba, making some amazing new memories!

3 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing
Bottom fishing in Aruba
This was an outstanding day of fishing. As opposed to deep-sea fishing--where it feels like it takes a couple hours just to get on-site before you can even get a line wet--this was just a few minutes until we were catching fish. 'Positive Vibes' is fast, so we could get where we needed to go on the off-shore reefs pretty much before the sun fully came up. OK...so we weren't reeling in big fish, but they were fun and plentiful, and ran the gamut from 3-5 pound yellowtail to grouper to parrot fish and even an amberjack. Between the two of us (my wife and I), and in just three hours, we caught 14 (that's fourteen) fish. Pretty much as soon as you dropped the hook to depth, you were on, and playing them with nice, well-maintained lightweight gear so it felt like an even 'match' and not just 'horsing in' the catch. Kids will love this! The skipper Sergio, and deckmate Jonathan, were incredibly helpful and patient, and clearly know the territory. When we come back, we'll do this again. HIGHLY recommended!!

Great bottom fishing trip and crew!
Our crew was super nice and kept the bait coming on the fishing lines for my son and me- we are both pretty inexperienced. Fun trip with lots of fish!

5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing
Half day trip.
Our crew chose to bottom fish as opposed to offshore. Got plenty of bites with assorted reef fish such as yellowtail, grouper, and trigger fish. Captain and crew respectful, and professional.

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing
Half day fishing trip with young crew
The rate was more expensive than most of the other fishing charters, but the boat looked nice in the pictures and we had 6 people that wanted to fish, not just troll for fish. When we got on the boat, I was disappointed to find out there were only 4 fishing poles on board. I specified that 6 people would be fishing when reserving the boat and the description said up to 10 people. The crew was 2 friendly younger guys that were helpful at times. We caught about 16 small fish, nothing substantial. Overall, we had a good time, but we were disapointed that we paid top dollar and had to take turns fishing. In my opinion, the $600 rate for 4 hours of fishing is high compared to the other charters in the area offering the same services.
