Wow, what an awesome trip! The father/son duo made our day! Caught some fish, gave us great recommendations, hilarious stories, we will be back for sure! A day to remember! Taking our catch to Lucy’s next door and have them cook our fresh fish was a perfect end to our day on the water!

Booked a super last minute trip (my fault) but it couldn’t have been any smoother! Captain Jairo and his sons are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We quickly caught a good size wahoo and we were the only boat that hooked up. First Mate Neomar couldn’t have been better, he explained his whole spread and hustled all day constantly checking and changing baits. Boat was clean and gear was perfect. Will definitely be booking again!

Capt Jairu was honest with us that trolling has been slow, but he was open to trying it for a bit and switching to bottom fishing, as were my wife and I. This was a much better experience than our last trip in Aruba. No fish trolling, but we were able to catch a bunch of snappers, which is a whole lot better than being skunked. The two mates were young but skilled and pleasant to be with. We’ll use this charter again.

Thank you for the review mark. We always want to be as honest posible with our guests. Was indeed slow on the troll for the last 2 or 3 days. Happy that you and your wife had a good time with us. Next time maybe the trolling will be better. Hope to see you onboard next time you are in aruba. Gr. Capt. Jairo

Captain and crew amazing. Boat clean, equipment in excellent condition. We caught Wahoo & Black Fin Tuna. He fillet some for us at the dock to take back to our resort for the staff to prepare for us. Highly recommend this boat!

Captain Jairo and his crew took us out on a 6 hour charter for Christmas morning. Weather was fantastic, Capt Jairo and his crew were first class and put us on the fish fast - Black Fin Tuna, Barracuda and Rainbow Runner. It was a great day on the water and gave us incredible memories. We will back to Aruba and fishing with Let’s Go Fishing charters and the crew next time!
