  amazing experience

  Half Day Trip: AM on June 16, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We had an amazing time on this fishing trip! At first, we caught six mackerel using artificial lures, but we had no luck at all with live bait. As the trip was coming to an end, we were feeling a little disappointed and thought, "Well, I guess we're heading back now." Then, about 20 minutes before reaching the dock, everything changed. A white marlin hit the line! We were absolutely shocked and couldn't believe our eyes. It was such an incredible and exciting moment for our family. We are so grateful for this amazing experience and the unforgettable memories. A huge thank you to Captain and the crew member (I'm so sorry, I don't remember his name, but he was absolutely the best!). Their hard work, positive attitude, and dedication made this trip truly special. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our family, and we highly recommend this charter to anyone visiting Aruba. Thank you again for an unforgettable day!

  Great captain and deckhand

  Half Day Trip: AM on June 29, 2026 • 4 adults

  We did the 8-12 morning trip. Clamer waters, however calm is subjective to your water experience. I would recommend an anti nausea. The captain and deckhand we awesome, friendly, and I would book again. There were other boats out and it seemed like Wahoo was the catch of the day lol. Make sure you have sun protection clothing and proper boat shoes.

  awesome day on the high seas

  Full Day Trip on March 13, 2026 • 2 adults

  trip started slow but once we found a school of albacore we stayed with them and had fun catching lots of them football sized tasty treats. caught and ate my first barracuds,was always a little hesitant because of ciguatera but mate said not down here and let me tell you that was a very delicious fish. on way back to marina the handline snapped to attention with a thunderclap then pole startted screaming drag took my buddy 15mins to get a whopper of a bull.mahi.mahi. only suggestion is if you want your fish iced bring alot for the fish box because they dont have an iced box just a box. i find if you catch one in the morning on an 8hr trip thats a long time for a fish to be not iced. great day,great boat,great crew,spent an awesome day with my best buddy!!

  Amazing Trip!

  Half Day Trip: AM on May 29, 2026 • 2 adults

  Look we were worried about the wind, the swells, etc etc. But at the end of the trip those are hardly a part of our memory or experience thanks to Captain and First Mate. Both are extremely friendly, quick on their feet to want to help and ensure the best experience and opportunity to catch fish. We caught 18 fish including some tuna, rainbow and a barricuda.

  Got us on fish

  Half Day Trip: AM on August 21, 2026 • 6 adults

  Bite in aruba had been slow but these guys got us on fish and it was straight 1.5 hours of fish after fish. great time after a slower experience earlier in the week. Would definitely recommend for those looking to get on fish.
