I took my Wife and 10 year old son on this trip. we did bottom bouncing and immediately my son caught 3 trigger fish, i caught some yellow tail snapper, my wife caught some as well (including other species). My son really wanted to snorkel and swim with turtles so they took us closer to the island and Jake and I swam with fish (they chummed so there were even more around) and then took us to a place they said would be a good chance for turtles. Towards the end they directed us to a turtle they sighted and you should have heard the excitement in my son’s voice! He was happy, and my Wife was happy so of course I was also. They cleaned our fish and i kept some to have the restaurant make us lunch and gave them the rest. Theis was a great trip!

These guys were amazing…..our party of 5 had people of various physical and mental abilities. They took it all in stride! Captain Mike and mate Javier were so good with everyone aboard. They put us right on tbe fish, and we filled the cooler with triggerfish and grouper. Caught and released numerous yellowtail too. So much fun for everyone!  We highly recommend them.and look forward to chartering again with them next year! Do yourself a favor…..and book.them!

Had a blast with The captain (Marcel) and (Jr.). Very friendly and put us on some outstanding bottom feeders! We caught various species such as queen triggers and grunts, triggers being my target fish!..it was non stop bites and catching!. Ended the trip with a little snorkeling which is also nice if you want to explore the beautiful reefs blue water in Aruba.  Trip even got better with the captain and mate who clean our fish to be taking right away while it was still fresh to a near by restaurant who cooked our fresh fish!, and it was delicious!. Also clean a few more for us to take back to our room where we will have another dinner while we stay in this paradise place of Aruba!. I give the Hooker Charters a 5 ⭐️ hands down!. Thanks again for an awesome time!!

My soon-to-be 7 year old loves fishing, so we booked this fishing trip to celebrate his birthday. He had a blast! Johan and Junior were so helpful and made sure everyone was having a good time and getting in on the fishing action. My 4 year old - who is less enthusiastic about fishing - had so much fun. Both Johan and Junior would get a fish hooked on the rod and then pass their rods to the kids to have them help reel them in. My 7 year old also was able to hook some on his own and reel them in. He was so happy - worth every penny to see his smile! Can’t wait to book again next year.

After a nice boat ride through crystal clear water, we reached the spot where our crew said we’d fish.  Our plan was to bottom fish, and from the first cast we were catching!  Many many species (snapper, grouper, trigger fish, wrasse and many more) were caught with nearly constant action.  Our three hour trip with two of my children was action packed and memorable! When we returned to the dock, the first mate filleted some fish for us, then across the beach we went to have them cooked for a tremendous lunch.  Two thumbs up from us! If you’re looking to fit in a fishing trip in Aruba and want to catch some fish, look no further!
