    great day on the water

    4 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing (AM)2 adults1 child

    we fished for 4 hours with Jordany and his brother. we had a great time. they explained the day, met us exactly where the my said they would and were on time. very warm and welcoming. The seas were rough my feiend - but these guys were pros the entire trip. Tookntime to explain things and were very patient. We had 3 bites and brought two on board. This is a family business for them - their grandfather began 35 years ago….. we took iur catch around the corner and Lucy’s cooked it for us as we watched the ither boats come in. Great day with a great family of fisherman…

    What a morning!

    4 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing (AM)3 adults

    We had an awesome day with Jordany. When we got to the boat they were ready for us with a cooler full of drinks! He told us exactly what we were fishing for and how the day would go. The first hour was a little slow while we were still getting to our spot, but once we did it seemed like we had a fish on the hook for the next hour! We caught enough fish to feed 10 people and we didn't even keep half of it. The next time we're in Aruba well book another character and I guarantee it will be with these guys. Thanks again!

    4 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing (AM)2 adults1 child

    This is who you want to go with!! These guys love to fish and have been doing it here for the whole lives. I took my 10 year old son for his first trip and they welcomed him right in. Had him in the chair and on the fish within the first hour or so. We caught some nice tuna. Had a good dorado(mahi) at the boat, but it proved to us that they call it fishing and not catching. The boat has been in the family for years but don’t judge a book by its cover. This is the experience you want. Make sure you pick up Dramamine off the seas might bother you. This is the one thing aruban captains can’t control. The wind and water can be up. We did the morning charter so to control this a bit. The water is fantastic, the fishing is great, the family atmosphere that the crew provides is outstanding. Best wishes to all.

    Memories Made

    4 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing (AM)4 adults

    This was a half-day morning fishing trip 7a-11a. We were able to find paid parking adjacent to the pier, but the parking meter didnt open until 7 so I had to wait for it to open. This has nothing to do with the fishing trip but it will help you plan. This is a trolling trip which means the boat moves the entire time, with and against the current. Captain Jordany and his brother were ready to go when we arrived, and they had sodas, water, bait, and anythjng else you would need while fishing. Immediately after pulling away Captain Jordany dropped six lines and within 30 minutes we had our first bite. My son (17) reeled in the first one which was a moderate sized mahi. About 30 minutes later we had another fish on the line and my daughter (20) reeled it in. On our way to the pier, there was another catch that my sin was able to reel in. It was worth every penny watching my kids reel in the catches. 2 mahi and 1 tuna. Captain Jordany fileted the fish and we had them for lunch at the Sharqy’s restaurant. We beat the heat and had a great time! Captain Jordany is a legacy fishing guide who learned the skills from his grandfather. The boat was clean and ran well with plenty if seating for 4-6 guests. Friendly and appeared to have as much fun watching us land the fish as we did reeling them in. Thank you Captain Jordany for the great time and all of the hard work! I will book with them again.

    Great Experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing (AM)3 adults1 child

    Captain and Mate were great. Very personable and experienced. They were very good at what they do. Dispite my son and I getting a little sick and having to go back a hour early, my buddy landed a big Sailfish and I landed a Tuna. These fish were really strong and put up a great fight. It was an amazing experience and we definitely made an unforgettable memory. We will definitely book another trip with this crew when we make it back to Aruba. Thanks "Making Memories"!!
