Marcelino and his crew are amazing. The Caroline (boat) was immaculate, clean, stocked, all top notch gear and tackle, ready to rock. We got a few bites right off the bat but my wife got really sick. Marcelino and his mate made the right call and we headed back early as no one wants to spend their honeymoon in a hospital. Mandy says Hi and she is really sorry but she is feeling much better now. Don’t worry we WILL be back and she WILL be catching her trophy Barracuda and it WILL be with Marcelino on the Caroline

was looking forward to this charter. it was my first deep sea charter and it didn’t disappoint! We didn’t get that “trophy” fish we were hoping for but it wasn’t from the crew not trying for us. we caught two barracuda and a black fin tuna. I booked a four hour excursion but i wished a booked a longer one. Ship was the best at the dock and the crew was the best. when we come back, we’ll be booking another charter with them for sure and I’m already looking forward to it!

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!
