Captain Roberto and crew were ready to go on our early morning arrival and got us out quickly to begin trolling.  Although there were only a few strikes, the day was more than productive with a 35 pound Wahoo being landed.  The boat was clean and kept orderly.  The captain and crew were obviously veteran fishermen and boat mates as they allowed us to lead conversations about the fishing and the beautiful island and waters of Aruba.  Great morning on the water.

My son and I had a great time on the Dorothy today while visiting Aruba.  The boat and the equipment was clean and in good working order.  We had 6 poles going at once with a variety of baits at different depths to increase our chances of getting in the fish.  My son caught a nice 32 lbs Wahoo and I got a 13 lbs King fish. We are looking forward to having this prepared for us to eat tomorrow at Driftwood restaurant as recommend by the crew.  The trip was enjoyable as you get an opportunity to do some trolling with out having to head out to the deep waters.  Next time we visit Aruba we will certainly call on Roberto and Jerry to take us out again.  We may even get my wife and 2 daughters to join us as the waters were not too rough and I think that with the help of some motion sickness meds, they would be just fine.

If you are traveling to Aruba soon I hope that you will voyage out on the Dorothy.  They and all of the locals would appreciate any an all business that they can get especially during these difficult times which is taking quite a toll on their economy.  They will work very hard and do their very best to create memories that will last a lifetime!

When writing (and reading) reviews of fishing charters, it’s hard to look past the number of fish caught to assess the other elements of the trip (condition of the boat, how friendly the crew was, the effort put in by the crew, etc).  Sometimes, despite the crew’s best efforts, it is possible to come back empty handed.  With that said, on this six-hour trip to the north end (lighthouse end) of the island, we caught 3 large wahoo, 2 mahi mahi, and 2 barracuda.  I was very happy with the catch and of course this creates some positive feelings about the overall trip.  However, I wanted to mention that the boat itself was great and more importantly, the crew was really first-rate.  They were professional, as you would expect, but we also had lots of laughs and I really enjoyed talking to them and shooting the breeze.  They put in a consistent effort over the six hours to keep the bait fresh, pass over the areas that had been productive, and find out over the radio what was working for other boats.  I plan to fish with them again.

Scheduled a last minute trip while on my trip to Aruba.  It was a tough time of year for fishing being the beginning of February but the guys put me on a 52 inch Wahoo!  Crew was very knowledgeable and friendly.  They did everything they could to put me on fish.  I will be booking again next year on my trip to Aruba.

Captain Roberto was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely go out with him again!
