6 Hour Trip (PM)

Crew worked very hard to get us some fish. Bait had moved since the morning so we were on the hunt, with the current and weather against us for the day. No trolling hits, but we did some deeper bottom fishing to ensure dinner was available. 23 snapper with some Lane, Red, and Yellow Eyes. Delicious eating!

Thank you for the review jacob. We do our utmost best everytime we go out. The trolling was indeed slow so we changed it up and got some snappers. Hope to see you guys aboard next time you are in aruba. Gr. Capt. Jairo and gedion

Wasn’t the best fishing day for most of the boats out there but the crew here did their best to put us on the fish. We ended up with a couple of ‘cuda and a nice mahi. Fun guys and appreciated the effort. Afterwards they booked a reservation at driftwood for us to handle the cooking…

My wife and I had a fabulous trip with Captain Jairo and his crew. We were made to feel welcomed from the moment we stepped n the boat. The boat was immaculate and very well organized. The crew worked throughout the trip to maximize our chances of catching fish. They interacted with us throughout the trip. We were very successful as a result of their efforts. I would highly recommend this charter to the experienced angler or novice.

Jairo and Nomar were great today. We had a large black fin tuna within the first 40 minutes. We ended up with 3 Mahi Mahi and 2 bonita. The service level and engagement from both Jairo and Nomar were great. I’d book them again without any hesitation. Thank you guys!

Captain Jairo and his mate worked hard to make us successful. We caught several fish during a slower cycle and even hooked a big wahoo that snapped the line before we could gaff. It was fun and the 8 year old boy had a blast. Fresh Mahi and Tuna tonight!
