We had a very lackluster and boring trip.  The captain was unable to get us on to fish and we effectively just paid for a boat ride.  We only caught two small barracuda, and nothing we were going for.  The captains had the old “well that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching” attitude. I would not take this charter again or recommend it in the future.

Would never recommend. Started off with us having to have our hotel call a taxi for us to get to the marina.  We were supposed to be picked up at our hotel at 11:50 and we finally took a taxi at 12:20 to get there after we and our concierge could not contact anyone. We did get a small discount to cover the taxi because of this but was a big time inconvenience because we hadn’t planned on travel to or from because it was supposed to be included. Finally when we got there and took off at 12:40 the captain Michael never acted like he wanted to be on the trip. This was by far the worst captain experience we have ever had anywhere. We were not catching fish which happens sometimes but the captain spent almost the entire fishing time laying down in the cabin and the very little time he was up when we were fishing which was about 15 minutes he was on his phone the whole time and never helped with fishing.  Fishing was slow and the deck hand wanted to move but the captain didn’t want to get up from the cabin. It was supposed to be a 3 hour trip and we left the dock at 12:40 and docked back at 3:20. A terrible experience for our last full day in Aruba.  Once again we have taken many charters in different places and never had this treatment from a captain before.
