As this was our first trip to Aruba, I was not sure what to expect. We fished a four hour offshore trip in the afternoon with my 10 year old, and a few friends. We left the dock promptly at 1 o’clock with Captain Marcelino and the mate aboard the Caroline. We immediately hooked into a mutton snapper on the troll which I had never seen before. We continued to troll, and the captain found several barracuda, a beautiful wahoo, and a couple of great blackfin tuna. We did lose one of the black tuna to the tax man (shark) but it was still a great trip. The seas are pretty rough at the north end of the island but the captain worked hard to keeps us all comfortable and on the fish. We returned with 7 barracuda, 2 blackfin tuna, a wahoo, and a mutton snapper. We kept part of our catch and walked right up the dock to nos Clubhuis grill and the cooked up our fresh catch. It was a trip my 10 year old will never forget

2nd time fishing with Marcelino on the Caroline, all great things to say about this crew! Marcelino put on us fish once again.(11 fish in total caught) plus a few that didn’t make it on board.
Gio the Mate worked hard and talked to us when he could. The Caroline(Boat) is clean, well outfitted and the open cabin seating to the back of the boat is great for groups. Many other boats you are in an enclosed cabin and miss on the action. Marcelino is now more than just our boat captain, he will always be part of our Aruba trips and friendships.
Marcelino Thanks for a great Christmas 2024!!!!!!

We had an amazing morning with Sunrise Charters- by the far the nicest boat in the harbor. The crew was skilled and friendly, setting multiple lines and helping our group of six reel in tuna, mahi-mahi, barracuda, and more. They even cleaned our catch, which we enjoyed family-style at the nearby restaurant for lunch. Incredible experience from start to finish!

We had the most wonderful time with Marcelino, Christel and Robert.  Our main goal was to get our 11 yr old on fish and they did JUST THAT!!! They were attentive and fun. Robert shared many tips and explained why/how it worked for the fish we were trying to catch.  Nothing seemed like a bother and he included our son with many of his stories and details.  Marcelino was quick to get us in the second chair as Robert helped the first fish on.  Their excitement was contagious and genuine.
Almost every hit had multiple fish on. 
The boat was clean and well taken care of.  They provided plenty of water and a nice bathroom. 
If you like to fish, Sunrise Charters are a MUST!!!!

The captain and crew were great. Their equipment was prepared. The vessel was clean (to include the head) and organized. They were conversational but not too much to where it seemed forced. They allowed moments of quiet for my wife and I to just enjoy the time out on the water and appreciate the beautiful, yet slightly rough Aruba waters. We were offered the option to take home some filets of the caught fish but due to our plans for the rest of day we weren’t able keep them fresh so we regretfully had to decline. I would recommend them to anyone looking for fishing charter. The best thing to keep in mind is that catching fish is never a guarantee and isn’t the captain or crews fault as long as they are working and trying.
