Captain and mate did a great job. We put 6 good Mahi Mahi in the box and probably missed 6 more. The first mate was constantly refreshing baits and paying close attention to the lines.

This was my first experience in sport fishing. Not sure why others are giving a bad review. Milton our Captain and his deckhand were very professional. Upon arriving Milton introduced himself and showed us a few things. He advised he was waiting for his deckhand that was about 20 minutes late. No big deal. Poor lad was caught in traffic due to a very rainy morning. Unusual for Aruba. Once aboard, we set off and within 15 minutes, lines were out. It didn’t take long for the fish to start bitting. We caught 6 in total within the first 2 hours then it went silent. But that’s fishing. The boat was in great shape and spotless.The deckhand totally worked the lines and bait always ensuring everything was clean. Milton was busy at the helm but did come down to give a hand when we had a few lines in progress. If your looking for a great experience, these are the guys! I’d definitely use them again next time I’m back in Aruba.

Captain Milton and Rudolph were amazing, they were polite and professional. The crew was very knowledgeable, answered any questions we had, educated us about the local waters and the different types of fish in the area. The fish weren’t hitting but it was still a fun experience. The crew did everything possible to increase our opportunities to catch, unfortunately luck wasn’t with us. The one fish we were able to catch was filleted and packaged by Rudolph so that we could take it with us. I would definitely go out with Captain Milton and Rudolph any day.

From the start Captain Milton and his mate Rudolph (Rudy) were such great guys. They were ready to go first thing in the morning as planned, helped us get aboard and acclimated to the vessel, and we were off. We caught Mahi, Wahoo, Bonito, Kingfish, and Black Fin Tuna. I had the fight of my life on one of the fish, which lasted about 15 minutes. Rudy was constantly changing baits etc and never really took a break. Every time he tried to eat his lunch sandwich, we had another fish on. I guess we had a good outing, comparatively, as they caught nothing the day before but we kept about 20 fish. The fish were prepared for us at the driftwood restaurant just down the street from the Marina that night and it was the best dinner we ate on our trip. I highly recommend this trip! The one thing I will add is that the seas were quite rough, and several of us got close to sea sickness. If you have never done this before, maybe start with a 1/2 day trip in case you can’t handle it. It was definitely not for the faint of heart.

Both Captain Milton and First Mate Rudy were great. Everything was ready to go when we arrived at the dock and were underway within minutes. Within 15-20 minutes of departure Rudy had line rigged up and in the water. Unfortunately it was a slow morning with not a lot of action, 3 small bonito and 1 small blackfin tuna. However, this wasn’t from a lack of effort. Rudy changed baits often with different colors to try and trigger a response and we covered a lot of water in an effort to locate fish. The boat was comfortable with 3 fishing chairs on the back deck, a cushion-topped cooler (filled with ice and soft drinks/water), a small couch in the cabin, and a functioning head. I would hire this charter again.

Rudy the 1st mate was great. He was very informative and friendly. The boat however was not as described. The pictures indicated a couch inside (there wasn’t one) and was listed to have air conditioning. Inside the boat was hot. I was told that I would need to climb to the top if I needed fresh air. I had emailed a week prior to insure that there was air conditioning as I brought my 70 year old mother. I was told that the air conditioning was working fine. She would not have been able to climb to the top for fresh air. We booked a 6 hour trip though told them we needed to go back to land after 2. We did not have one bite in the 2 hours that we were on the boat. On the way back in, the exhaust fumes were over-whelming to the point of giving my brother a migraine.

Captain Milton and Rudy were excellent. The boat and crew was waiting prepped and ready upon on our arrival (15 min early) and no sooner than my wife and I had our feet on board he was ready to head out. Despite rolling swells of 6ft + the boat was stable and smooth, and we kept trolling lines in the water for ALL 6 hours. It was great to see the captain cover as much water as he did. Captain Milton worked all day, and the mate Rudy made switches of the lures/bait at a good pace to ensure we were working effectively. Ultimately we caught multiple Mahi-Mahi and even managed a nice Wahoo. All things considered with the weather, winds, and water temp I was very happy with what they were able to produce. On top of great fishing, they also provided good snacks and water which helped make the day enjoyable for my wife as well who isn’t a big fisher. We would go out with them again when were back in Aruba. One Happy Island, One Happy Boat, Two happy customers.

Unfortunately my family and I spent over 3 hrs. riding huge waves and not one fish was caught. The Captain although cordial didn’t offer to slow down the boat to allow the fish to realize that bait was actually in the water. After 1-1 1/2 hrs the bait should have been changed to see if the fish would bite something different, however, the same lines and bait were dragged through the high ocean waves at super high speeds ending with everyone feeling sick and no fish. For the price paid and this being my first experience I can not say that it was pleasant. In addition, there were max 5 drinks in the cooler two of which were beer leaving my family without much to drink so this too did not fit the description of the trip.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your review.
Unfortunately we can not predict the sea and current before the fishing trips.
When trolling the boat speed is around 4 to 7 knots, which is the speed we troll with 365 days a year.
During our trolling fishing trips, we can not stop the boat, otherwise the bait will stop moving and we will not catch any fish.
It was out of our control that the sea was high and that you felt sick.
Regarding the beverages, we always have water and sodas available in our yeti cooler under the ice. Furthermore we have more water bottles and soda cans inside the cabin, which are at room temperature. We would have gladly helped you with your drinks request.
We hope you understand that our fishing trips are based on trolling only and jigging upon request, when the sea and current permit.
We are sorry our fishing trip was not as you expected.
We will note your remarks, to offer a better experience next time.
Have a great day!

Booked a 6 hr trip, cut it short after 3+ hrs of driving around burning fuel in 8-10ft swells. Absolutely no action, not even a nible, and crew did not seem to have any alternative plans or care one way or another. Don’t expect crew to get us to fish every time but for $600 I do expect some effort to find fish and communicate with us about their plan. Waste a morning and $.

Hi Gregg,
Thank you for your review.
Unfortunately we are unable to predict the sea and current of our fishing trips.
When the sea is rough there is no alternative plan, only trolling.
We were searching for fish with our depth fish finder, but there are some times when we do not catch fish.
We apologize if we had not mentioned what our fishing plans were.
Hope you have a better experience next time.Regards,
Captain Milton

To preface this review, I have been fishing since I was a young boy. The type of fishing that we expected was not what we did. My understanding from the booking was that we would troll and jig. We were told two hours into the trip that we would only be trolling.l, and to make matters worse we didn’t catch or hook a single thing. There wasn’t any introduction, minimal talking, no explanation of what we were going to do for the day. The deck hand didn’t seem interested in having a conversation any time we tried to make one. While the captain was overall a nice person I don’t think they are interested in giving you a good fishing experience nor care about you, but instead just want to make a quick buck. I’m sorry to be harsh but our experience with teaser charters was horrible. I don’t recommend anyone book with them.

Good afternoon Edan,
We apologize for your unsatisfactory experience on your fishing trip with us.
Our regular fishing trips are trolling and jigging trips.
We do not offer any light tackle bottom fishing trips close to shore as you expected and thought you booked for.
That is why all info of our fishing trip services are clearly stated on the FishingBooker website and we do not have any equipment for ligthtackle bottom fishing
As the wind and sea current were quite hard on that day, jigging was impossible.At the beginning of the trip we did introduce ourselves and explained where the drinks and bathroom were.
We also informed you where you could have a seat and we did not know that you needed more info of the trip as our clients usually ask when they are not sure of something or when they would like more info.
We would have gladly helped you with any requests or info.
During trolling our mate was changing fishing baits and lures all the time and he would have answered any questions you would have.Furthermore after 1 hour out there fishing you became sea sick and requested us to go back to the dock, as 3 of you were throwing up from the 3 to 5 foot seas.
We followed your request ,and did also offer you to go back out with your sister, because she wanted to go back fishing for the last remaining 2 hours, but her mom refused to let her go.
Please bear in mind that we were out trolling for only 1 hour and you became sick after that, which did not give you enough time to catch a fish. Unfortunately we can not forecast how many fishes we will catch each day.Kind regards,
Teaser Marketing Manager.

The trip was good in the sense that we caught fish. None of our family had been deep fishing before. We were told that there was a bathroom and that if we were going to get sick to stay outside and go to the back. We had to ask if we could go up deck.There was very little communication with the captain and one crew member. I read other reviews and wish we would have been paired with someone that liked to really take people out and enjoyed talking so we could help pass the 4 hours. We caught our fish within the first 90 minutes and then we just trolled around looking for other schools of fish. When you pay as much as the trip cost plus the gratuity, it seems that it could have been more memorable. We were not offered to take photos at the dock with our catch. A big disappointment for our boys. Our captain really just wanted us to pay him and then move on. The captain did set us up with The Driftwood restaurant for our dinner meal.

Four of us adults took the trip. The captain and mate were good to us. Nice guys, but all business. When I booked the trip, I was told that there would be plenty of steady seating on deck. There was 1 fighting chair and a small cooler. Being that I am disabled, my guys kept me in the chair the whole trip, meaning they stood the whole time. The seas were pretty big and everyone but I got sick (I used to race offshore sailboats so I had an advantage). We brought a case of beer and a bottle for the trip but didn’t drink any. None of my guys, my son and his 2 best friends, will ever go ocean fishing again and that is a shame.
I talked to some people who took charters off the reef near our hotel (were picked up at the hotel) and they caught alot of fish and were very comfortable in much lighter seas. That was not an option for us. Our captain said that the seas were normal. If that was the case, I wouldn’t take any inexperienced people on this trip. The final straw was when I tried to pay with credit card as, I was told I could, and the captain miraculously didn’t have his card reader that day.

Okay…so this was our first deep sea fishing trip. On the boat were 3 adults and 2 children (5 and 7), plus the first mate and captain.
We set sail on time. The captain was polite and professional, but I would not call him friendly. We had very little interaction with him. We interacted mostly with the first mate. I couldn’t tell you his name because he never introduced himself.
We expected four hours of fishing, what we got was a 3 and a half hour boat ride with 3 x 10 minutes of catching fish…but hey, its called “fishing”, not “catching”.
We caught a wahoo, sailfish (which was very exciting) and a mahi-mahi.
We thought the crew would have done some more explaining as we were all on our first fishing trip.
The boat was clean and in working order.
Would only recommend for kids >12 years old.

Ok here’s my review… It’s called fishing, not catching… Captain Milton before we left the dock gave me a heads up that things had been a little slow since hurricane Matthew brush their area a week before we arrived… He decided to take us north instead of his recent experience that going south had not produced much luck… Very shortly after our mate Brian placed the baits in the water, we had a wahoo that failed to hook up… In total 3 wahoo missed hookups along with a few Mahi… We did end up with 2 small Mahi by the end of our charter… My only concern was after our charter we were told by Captain Milton that the Driftwood restaurant would prepare our catch at half price… After my wife and I spent a couple of hours shopping in the area we returned to the dock to see what other charters had caught and noticed that our catch had been laying out in the sun for over two hours on the dock behind the Teaser…. This could be the Aruba’s culture on how they handle fish by not icing them down or Driftwood restaurant not picking up our catch in a timely manner… Either way we decided to forgo the dining experience… All being said I would take Captain Milton out again but I would first do my homework on the best time of season to target game fish and not meat for the table… We did tip Captain Milton $100 and hope he shared it with his first mate Brian… Like I said at the beginning of the review… It’s called FISHING and not called CATCHING…

Had a great time with Captain Milton and Mate Brian. It is slow fishing typically in August in Aruba and these guys made mountains out of mole hills. Ended up with several fish in the cooler. Great experience and will definitely charter this boat again in the future.

Took the whole family out for 1/2 day trip and caught 5 Mahi Mahi and 1 Wahoo. Got to the Teaser 7AM sharp and lines in the water 15 minutes later. Three of the Mahi hit as we circled past an anchored tanker. Later, we saw a Marlin going for the bait but ended up bringing in a nice Wahoo. Overall very exciting - scheduled another 1/2 day trip later in the week.

Went on 1/2 day morning charter on 7/14 with a family of 5 (3 college age kids and wife). Weather was good and the schedule was for a 7-11 am trip. Captain greeted us with a big smile but was relatively quiet overall….very professional. The first mate Brian was very entertaining throughout our trip and very skillful in assisting my kids when their time came in the fighting chair :).
The ship has a below deck with bathroom which was nice but pretty basic below. They provided a cooler with water and soda which was nice. Brian set out 4 lines that were placed strategically so as not to get tangled. Captain Milton piloted the boat back and forth toward the south end of the island and we set back and waited for a nibble. My wife enjoyed the view and the idea that she did not have to really do anything :).
We got 2 real bites in the first 2 hours and 2 of my 3 kids were able to jump in the main fighting chair and reel in a large Mahi Mahi and a large Bonito. They were both very excited and Brian helped them as necessary along the way. Unfortunately my third kid got sick (motion sickness) and spent a considerable amount of time giving back to the sea. Since we had already caught 2 fish and my other daughter was sick, we asked Captain Milton to take up back early.
As soon as I asked, he responded immediately and fired up the engines all out to return us back to pier ASAP. Brian fileted our fish on the pier at no additional charge and Captain Milton provided plastic bags to transport our catch back to the cooler in our van.
We rented a house on the island and took our catch back and had grilled Mahi and Bonito for lunch the same day. It was fantastic. We had enough to save some for grilling later in the week. All in all a good experience, nice crew, nothing fancy, but fun. If you are sea sick prone, may want to take something in advance as the seas are always active in Aruba along with the wind.
Would definitely go back….!!

Captain Milton was fabulous. He had to wait for us to arrive from our cruise ship. He was ready to go when we arrived. The sea was rough and we tried to continue our trip but our party of six were fading fast. The captain was kind enough and turned the boat around. I believe if more of our party wasn’t so sick he would have gone back to sea.

These guys were great, we went out for 2 half days and caught fish both days. The only thing I wish I would have know is that you have to tell Captain Milton that you would like to pay by credit card before you get there that day. Fortunately we had enough cash on us to pay for the Wednesday trip. However they were great and we were able to pay for the Friday trip via credit card once we gave him an advanced notice. We caught fish both days and I will be using them again next year….

The day was beautiful, it was very windy and there were a lot of waves but that’s to be expected with the wind. My wife was sea sick but was a trooper and we still enjoyed our trip, caught a nice size Mahi and a big Wahoo, almost had a Marlin but he just wouldn’t take the bait. The young mate was very nice and attentive and talked to me the whole trip, Captain Milton was nice and even checked on my wife to see how she was feeling. All in all a great trip we would do it again with Captain Milton and TEASER when we return to Aruba.

Once again the Teaser made good on its promise to provide us with the best possible fishing experience! The first boat out and the the best catch of our dock mates at the pier. Fishing is of course based on your luck but the experience and dedicated competitive pride of the captain and crew gives you the edge That’s why Captain Milton is our first choice when we book our outing here in Aruba. Three nice yellow fin tuna wound up on the menu at the Driftwood prepared to perfection. We took a big portion back to the workers at our timeshare who never forget a kind act. Maybe kindness is the third key to a successful charter. But I know this ...it will always be the Teaser for the two of us because they don’t TEASE. They DELIVER !

I don’t know what happened but we only caught 1 fish on our way in very close to the end. The first mate mentioned something about some “big swell” and no one was getting strikes. I think the Captain tried to get us hooked up but there wasn’t much mentioned as to what was going on since his first mate was mostly up on the upper level the entire trip and didn’t speak to us much. The boat was nice and the equipment seemed good as well but the communication was poor.

We caught 1 Mai and had one knock down that we did not hook. We did stop over some Bonito and Mate Brian jigged a couple up for us.

Milton and his helper were great!! First cast I already hooked something. At the end of the day we brought in 5 average sized fish. But the rest of both piers barely had any. We through about 10 back that were smaller. On a slow day we definitely had the better out of everyone. Took a moment for them to warm up and start speaking but after they did it was great! Would go again. If you do catch anything and want to eat it, I highly recommend going to the restaurant they work with. You get as much of the fish that you caught that you want. Plus sides. Very great restaurant and not too pricey!

We rented the boat for six hours and were busy for almost all of that time. We got 23 total fish (2 poleto, 2 Wahoo, 18 tuna and a blue marlin). The captain circled between the ledge where wahoo lurk and the tuna schools. The blue marlin was a total accident catch as we weren’t fishing for them at all. The captain was very nice and answered all our questions. The first mate was tremendous and very fun to fish with. We recommended the boat to two couples at our resort who went out two days later and caught tuna, wahoo and bonita. Only drawback on the boat is the lack of a foot rest and belt which would have helped reeling in the blue marlin.

We met Milton the captain at the dock at 730 am. Brian was the deckhand that day. He invited us on and we were fishing in 10 minutes. The fishing grounds are right off the island. We never lost sight of the island. Both folks were super nice and we fishing the entire 4 hours. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a bite all day. So, it turned out to be just a nice boat ride and view of the island. We trolled the entire time for wahoo and mahi. We at the dock the day before and saw the 4 mahi they brought in. None of the other boats caught fish that day either so I didn’t feel too bad.

My fiancé and I chartered this boat with captain Milton on a Sunday for half a day. It was my first time deep sea fishing but my fiances 7th charter. It far exceeded our expectations. Captain and first mate were great, we ended up coming upon a school of mahi mahi and catching 27 fish, two large ones. There were so many we were pulling them onto the boat with our hands. We fished for the full 4 hours even with a cooler overflowing with fish. When we returned they filleted the fish for us right on the dock and we walked it to a restaurant next door. It was the best fish we have ever had (and most fresh!). True five star experience!

WOW, JUST WOW !
We often go to Aruba, and when we go fishing, we go with the pros.Captain Milton and his deckhand Brian are professionals and everything is always perfect.
The boat has everything you need for an offshore fishing trip.
The professionalism of the crew is aimed at your fishing success…. You can feel it, they really work hard to make sure that you will hook plenty of fish.We usually catch yellow tunas, bonitos, wahoos, and the best… blue marlins…
Every time we go to Aruba, we can’t wait to go fishing again with Captain Milton.
He knows how to find the fish !
And his deckhand Brian is working hard with the fishing gear and the baits…We highly recommend this boat and crew.
We always have an amazing day.
Thanks Captain Milton !

My boyfriend and I are so glad we took this charter; it was the highlight of our vacation for sure. Milton and Brian were amazing, they were very professional and knew exactly where to go. By 9:30am we had filled the huge cooler (see picture). We caught 35 fish in total consisting of albacore tuna, bonito, and one wahoo. We had three bigger fish on, two wahoo and one mahi mahi, but unfortunately we lost them (I’m sure it was our fault). I have never caught that many fish in such a short amount of time, even during snapper blue season in New England. Our catch was so big that no one believed i participated. Random adults were posing with our fish on the dock passing it off as theirs. And to all the passers by that couldn’t believe it: YES, A WOMAN CAN CATCH ALL THOSE FISH!!! Thanks for the great time guys! If I ever go back to Aruba you’ll be the first ones I call. Next time I’ll reel harder and we’ll land the big guys, maybe a few billfish?

Captain Milton and deckhand Rudolph, were so experienced, capable, easy to communicate with and knowledgeable. Captain Milton knew all the “hotspots”. Rudolph was so attentive and constantly checking bait, changing lures, offering drinks and telling stories. Great guy. When we caught fish, he successfully helped land a beautiful barracuda and an amazing yellow fin tuna! Rudolph cleaned both fish in no time, at the pier, professionally. The boat had all the latest equipment, comfortable chairs and competitive prices. Great guys to do business with. Would I rebook with Teaser Charters? 0 yes! Highly recommended. Captain Milton is a younger, very confident fisherman. Rudolph has been fishing longer and sure knows his business. I also respect they’re conservation attitude towards preserving certain species of fish. Very responsible. Thanks guys. Great experience!

Captain Milton and First Mate Doddy form an unbeatable team of professional sportsmen whose combined efforts made this THE most memorable charter of our lives ! We have been fishing Aruba Since the late 80s and have never been disappointed. But until our trip on the Teaser we didn’t know what sport fishing could be. To hook a sailfish and watch it break the surface with the sun gleaming off it’s considerably large body was a fishermans dream and to land it after fighting against its size and the sea was something to brag about. And I am. The fact that we went on to catch dinner and later consume it at the Driftwood where it was cooked in four different ways is secondary. We spent six wonderfully relaxing and exciting hours with a Captain whose SUPER knowlege of location and timing resulted in multiple hits. Add to this his SUPER vision to actually see fish from his lofty position and we had an enjoyable trip start to finish. We didn’t get cheated of time on the water or of courtesy and attention to our needs. But the other Super man in this boat was the mate. Doddy never stopped changing bait cleaning the boat preparing and checking our lines etc. he never sat during our six hours. He wanted us to catch fish as much if not more than we did. His enthusiasm was unending. And his knowledge of what hit our bait by looking at it was super human. God willing we will be on board next year with this boat and crew. Doddy kept fishing cleaning serving beverages and teaching us his trade . What a polite and friendly young man who just happens to have many years of experience on his resume inspite of being in his early 20 s Fishing since his childhood has paid off for him and for us. They know how to find and to catch. Easy to book. Fair price. Safe boat comfortably arranged CLEAN. Doesn’t hug the shore. Takes you out where the fish are. I lost one very large sailfish but I landed one. I’m going to try to include a picture. But if I can’t. Close your eyes and imagine. I did and it came to be. Because of Two SuperHeros who made this trip to Aruba our best ever.
I like the fact that Captain Milton owns the boat and takes pride in his family s name and reputation. And brings the best possible mate who is a captain in his own right into the bargain. This boat is trustworthy. No one can promise you fish. But they promise to try to the last possible moment to do so. That’s fair.Dan McGregor recommends Teaser Charters - 35’ BertramFished September 2014
