What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Oranjestad for the first time?

Def bring sunscreen or be a seasoned angler who’s out in the sun a lot. The boat is impeccable! Very great gear and you can tell Capt Tom takes care of his equipment! Lots of shade on the boat.

I know every time you go you are not guaranteed to catch a fish. We did, but would have loved to reel in a few more. We caught one big boy.

Yes. Renee will take care of you. The fish were not biting for us, but Renee will surely guide any rookie through the motions when the time comes.

Fantastic experience with a fantastic crew. Came home with fish and great memories. Would do again

Be prepared for some rough sea and rough one but also a great time experiencing them.

Be prepared for massive swells in the ocean due to the constant wind on the island.

Seems like mornings might be better, cooler water temps have an advantage based on conversation with the Captain.

Just remember it is called fishing and not "catching". The experience is about more than just what you caught.

There’s better times of the year but we were happy with our catch! Recommend you book with Roberto!!! Highly skilled and quality boat!

Be patient! These guys work hard to get you as many fish as possible! A lot of people say the ocean and waves are rough but we didn’t think it was bad for being the ocean:)

Be prepared if you have know or unknown motion sickness. Take the necessary precautions! However, the captain was great for assisting!

Fishing overall was not great, no bites and no fish. I know fishing is hit or miss but this was a big miss.

This is outside the peak fishing season for Aruba. However, they are still out there catching fish every day. Sometimes it's just luck of the draw.

I would highly recommend taking this boat for your next character. My wife and I had a fantastic trip and I can't say enough for my appreciation for captain Renee.

Just relax and enjoy the boat ride! It’s fishing and to catch a monster is always a possibility and we did! Rinse your catch in salt water and try blackened yum!!

Open water fishing does require patience. We ended up with a good catch, 5 quality fish over a 6 hour period. That's why it's called fishing, not catching ?

Go with an experienced crew, they will try their best to find the fish. The moon matters, if it was full the night before, the fish might not be as hungry in the morning because they ate at night.

Lots of fishing at the seaport, not here often enough to know what time is the best time. But, lots of fisherman and boats!

If you want beer, take it for the cooler. Make sure you have a hat, sunscreen & sunglasses. Don’t forget to take cash for tips.

Look at the boat, and if it looks old, it is! Check fishing report. If most of the boats are at the pier there is a reason, NO Fish

Yes! Great time on the water and was several missed fish but brought plenty back!! Definitely recommend!!!

Did two trips, one was bad, other fair....not sure October is ideal fishing in Aruba despite what seems to be conventional thought that its a relatively good season.

Be ready to fight fish hard . Drink plenty of water the day before . You may what to workout for a mouth before . And where plenty of sun screen

Two micro tuna were caught and three of us never got to touch a pole. Do not book during early October, save your money

It’s going to be very very hot out there. And it is probably going to be pretty nautical in terms of waves. Plan accordingly.

July has warm water close to shore so some of the fish the prefer cooler water are less prevalent than in fall and winter

Several popular species are out of season to varying degrees (wahoo, billfish) but plentiful Mahi give enough action to make. Plus you still have a chance to pick up a sailfish or wahoo, plus others.

Be prepared for windy conditions as it is always windy in Aruba take sunscreen, and everything else was provided for us was a great trip

Bring a prescription sea sick patch or take Dramamine the night before and morning of the trip! Bring sun tan lotion, and a hat if possible. Wear a long sleeve fishing shirt.

Other times of the year you can go to the other side of the island and catch sailfish. Would prefer to do that
