First let me say I have a lot of experience fishing and understand it’s fishing not catching.  I have chartered many times in many places, I also owe a fishing boat in NY.

The boat is not comfortable, seatings ok for two in the fighting chairs but anyone else is on a bench that is not a ideal situation for the rough waters of Aruba.

As far as the fishing we didn’t have any luck trolling so when I asked to switch to some bottom fishing I was told they didn’t bring any bait.  As I mentioned I’ve chartered many times and when I troll back in NY there is always a plan “B’ if nothing is hitting when trolling.  We wasted a hour going to get bait which costed $30.

If you don’t know anything about fishing you might enjoy this charter but I don’t recommend it to a experienced group.

Be advised go for the tree fishing trip not deep sea trip. Wr were taken out in very tough water and got sea sick and no fish were caught. Because of the cold do toons came back an hour early and no discount.

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.
