Jonathan and his dad (the captain) where extremely kind and welcoming.  Very knowledgeable about all things fishing and fish.  I was with my two children (13 and 9) and each caught fish!  We caught Mahi and Tuna.  Jonathan would change up the bait if nothing was biting versus some charters that just keep the same bait and hope something bites.  there were a total of 7 poles going and one other line that I cant remember what it was called.  He explained how the various lines are rigged so lines dont get tangled.
The sea was rough but the Captain managed to keep the extreme rocking of the boat a minimum.  i would recommend and if we return to the island i will book them again.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in Aruba, look no further than J-String Charter Boat! We booked this trip shortly after booking our cruise and had been looking forward to it for months. When our cruise line unexpectedly changed our itinerary and altered our Aruba arrival/departure times, Captain Eddie went above and beyond to accommodate us — even adjusting their typical schedule around our ship’s arrival. That level of customer service alone was impressive.

This father-and-son duo truly made us feel like part of their family for the day. They were welcoming, hardworking, and determined to make sure we had a great experience. They kept multiple lines in the water at all times and worked nonstop to put us on fish.

The day was a success — we caught 4 fish total: 2 mahi mahi, a blackfin tuna, and a bonita! The excitement, hospitality, and overall experience made this one of the highlights of our trip.

We would absolutely book with them again the next time we’re back in Aruba. Highly recommend!

Went with one new and 2 experienced anglers with high hopes! (of course) The captain did not disappoint! He put us on fish in less than an hour. His son, Jonathan, had the lines, bait, teasers- everything set up for us to successfully catch fish. At times we were reeling in 2 & 3 at a time!

Wind and waves are definitely no joke. The nausea was bad for all of us but we chummed up the water and caught more fish! :) The captain was an expert at navigating us thru the waters.

The captain and Jonathan are true experts and extremely friendly! They were happy to teach and share their wisdom. Jonathan was one of the best first mates we’ve worked with :) We highly recommend!

We had a great day with Captain Eddy and First Mate Jonathon. Both are truly professional and very friendly. Jonathon was awesome working all the lines and fun to talk to. It was a slow day as far as catches. We got a bonito and two pretty good size mahi. But Captain Eddy found the fish. I believe we were one of the few boats that got fish this morning. I would definitely recommend the J-String to others and will definitely book again

Highly recommend j-string, experience was amazing! They had high quality equipment to make sure we were landing the fish on the boat. Jonathan was quick to react to everything, he knew when to switch things up, not only did he answer our questions but he took initiative to teach beyond what we could think of asking. He was extremely smart about everything we talked about. Jonathan also vibed along with us as if we had been friends for years. We felt super welcome. We will definitely be booking with them again! Thank you Eddy and Jonathan for checking another thing off our bucket list!
