We chose our deep sea fishing charter (4 hours) with Sunrise Charters due to a combination of the great reviews and the convenient location from the Hadicurari Fisherman’s Pier, which is walking distance from most of the high-rise hotels, avoiding the need for us to take a taxi into Oranjestad where most of the charters leave from. Captain Marcelino and his first mate were friendly and attentive the entire time, and they provided plenty of cold water as advertised. This type of charter is more like a ride in that the captain lures and casts the lines, but as soon as a fish is hooked, my family of 4 took turns reeling them in. So we had a ton of fun (and caught 7 Barracuda). We trolled all around the western and northern parts of Aruba and got to see lots of sights. At the end, Captain Marcelino filleted 3 of the barracuda for us, and we took them to the restaurant near the pier (Nos Clubhuis), where they cooked them into family style fish dinner for a reasonable price. Loved it beginning to end!

From start to finish, this was an unforgettable adventure! The crew was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. The boat was spotless, well-equipped, and comfortable, making the whole trip smooth and enjoyable.

We were guided to some prime fishing spots where the action never stopped – plenty of bites and some truly impressive catches. The crew provided expert tips for both beginners and experienced anglers, ensuring everyone had success and fun.

On top of the great fishing, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with plenty of laughs and stories shared. Safety was clearly a top priority, which gave us peace of mind the whole way.

If you’re looking for the perfect deep-sea fishing trip, this is it. Fantastic crew, beautiful waters, and a thrilling experience I’ll remember for years. Highly recommended!

We booked a 4 hour trip.  We left in time and the crew was very friendly.  It was just my son and I and we had a great time.  There was plenty of room on the boat for many more people.  The boat was clean and comfortable.  With the time and the weather we only went a mile out but this was good to make sure my son didn’t get motion sickness.    We ended up with 5 bites and landed 2 good size king fish.  This left plenty of fish for us for our group of 6 at the hotel for dinner.  Thanks for a great time for my son on his birthday

Our family of 6 had a great time. Want to venture out further off the coast, but the captain and first made saw the concern on some of our kids faces with the big waves. We turned around and headed for calmer waters.  Caught a couple nice mahi-mahi’s, and a nice king mackerel.  The crew was very good about making sure my kids had a good time, which was the most important for me.

When we got back to dock, it looked like we were the only boat that had caught fish. I would definitely recommend these guys and would happily charter with them again!

Just a great experience and caught a lot of fish.

Captain Marcelino and Alexander were very knowledgeable and personable.

Caught Barracuda, Black Fin Tuna and a 30lb Wahoo that my young son brought in on a hand line.

Way fun.

Highly recommend especially if you are staying on the North side of the island since they go iut by the Holiday Inn.
