I just have always loved fishing, ever since childhood. I have fished in a lot of countries with many techniques. I started off the sea shore but eventually moved on to getting my own boat, and now I enjoy running charters and sharing my passion with my guest. You will find me or Captain Rudy at the helm of your charter with Dorothy Fishing Charters.

    Fish Dorothy, you will not find a better experience for your money.

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    My name is Flaz, I have fished the Baha and the Sea Of Cortez most of my life. Today fishing Aruba, I experience one of the most skilled boat crew in my life at 74. Jerry our deck hand, may be the most skilled line manager I have ever experienced while fishing Dorthy on an 8 hr. fishing day. With nearly 7 hrs of trolling 10 lines I never once saw an snarl or crossed trolling lure. Captain Roberto was at the helm and never once responded wrong with a fish on. The boat was always in position for the gaft or release. over 100 pounds of fish was metered and boated today.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Sailfish
    Wahoo
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)

    GREAT first time fishing!

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    We had an amazing time with captain Rudy and first mate Luis. They made me (a non swimmer) feel completely safe and at ease on the open sea, which they thought was calm...me not so much! Captain Rudy even held the bucket when my friend got sick. First mate Luis explained the fishing equipment and the different factors that may affect fish biting. With their help we reeled in three Bonitos, we had six hits but lost three. Captain Rudy filet our "biggest" catch and first mate Luis walked us and our catch to the restaurant near the pier where our fish was beautifully prepared. We took it with us and it was delicious!!! I would definitely recommend this charter and if you're lucky enough to get Captain Rudy and first mate Luis you are sure to have a fun time!!! We will be booking again next year !!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you very much and see you next year. Have a good one. Rudy, Luis and Roberto.

    The Dorothy and crew are great!

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Though weather conditions weren't perfect for our charter, we still landed one Barracuda. The crew (Jerry & Rudy) tried their best to find fish, but wind and waves had a different plan. Despite a small haul, Capt. Roberto arranged a reservation at Driftwood for our catch to be prepared for dinner. We're hoping to find our way back to Aruba in the future and will be sure to look up Capt.Roberto and the Dorothy!

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much for fishing with us. Sorry things were slow. Rodolfo, Gerry and Roberto.

    Caught the BIGGEST MAHI-MAHI!

    Half Day Trip • 1 adult

    What an unforgettable fishing trip!I caught the biggest mahi-mahi I have ever seen in my life, along with a barracuda. The mahi-mahi was definitely the catch of the day—when we got back, people were lining up to take pictures with it! The captain and crew were outstanding from beginning to end. They took great care of me, kept the trip going, and helped turn the day into an experience I’ll be talking about for years. Great crew, great fishing, and one heck of a story to bring home. Highly recommend!

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
