Great day on the water with the Jelliray crew! The sea was angry that day, my friends, but we caught Mahi and Tuna. Raymond was great and worked with his father, the captain… you know these guys have been working these Aruban waters together for decades. Highly recommend this crew, just know the waters can be rough…
Thanks guys 👍
We got off to a late start due to a minor last minute repair but we had a good day on the water catching Mahi, king mackerel and cuda...the mate Kyle worked hard with five rigs for two guys and captain Swa put us on fish which is all you can ask for. We went home with some good sushi quality fish. Capt rene maintained good communication with us from the start and was very responsive. We would use them again
Had a great time with my brother in law on the Jeliray charter. Two first for me that day: first time deep sea fishing and eating wahoo.The crew, Rafael and Richard were awesome! We caught a 35-40lb Wahoo (hand reeled in) and a bonita (on a pole). The crew filleted the wahoo for us once we were back on the dock and we panned cooked it that night with blackened seasoning. So delicious! And highly recommend the Jeliray charter!
thanks guys
Our four hour fishing trip was great. The captain and first mate were extremely impressive and professional fishermen. If you were interested in learning how to fish, the first mate was a good teacher. The captain is very experienced and able to put us on fish. The other great thing was that the first mate filleted our fish on the dock so that Lucy's could cook it for us. If you go out with any captain, the surf may be rough. Keep this in mind if you are susceptible to sea sickness.
