Hatts Off Charters

5 reviews
Reginald or 'Fruist' as we call him here, is one of Aruba's best anglers. He prepares bait meticulously and knows all the tricks of the trade. He loves going after Marlin and sailfish. With Reginald aboard 'Hatts Off' the billfish catch rate has increased dramatically. Reginald successfully participates regularly in Billfish tournaments in Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire.
