Captain Ryan and Javier were friendly and very professional. Everything was organized well and our family had a great time with the crew on a boat. Unforgettable experience! We had a good catch that day and made delicious fish dinner plates afterwards. Highly recommend going on a fishing trip with Ryan!
If You are scrolling through looking for a fishing charter in Aruba just stop 🛑 right now, Look No further! First off i would like to start out by introducing you to Captain Ryan AKA “Captain Skreech”. Anyone can buy a boat and some fishing gear and claim to be a Captain but there are few people out there that are as Passionate and hard working as Captain Ryan and it shows in everything he does. This guy is up every day wayyyy before the sunrise prepping the boat the gear and everything else that goes into giving the best experience possible. From the first time i reached out to the Captain i heard him say several time “It’s not Catching it’s Fishing and i cant Gurantee you anything”. One thing this guy can gurantee you is that him and his first mate will do whatever in their power to put you on the fish. When we hooked a fish they were as excited as my 9 Yo son and that continued throughout the trip. If we walked away with no fish the experience was worth every penny. These guys knew where to go and what to do to put the fish on the boat and i can promise they will give it 100% to make that happen. Lets talk about the boat or “Fishing Vessel” as the pro’s call it. Im sure some of you look at the boat and say it may be smaller than others or that the ride may be rougher. They say is not the size that matters but the motion of the ocean and this boat is equipped to handle everything that is thrown at it and more with ease. The captain has invested lots of time blood sweat and im sure some tears into this boat and it shows. He is so proud of his boat and he takes alot of pride in it and is easily one of the better equipping charters on the island. From the time we left the dock we were treated as family and the stories of were great. Now to the fishing, we killed it literally. There is no part of this trip that could have been any better and the massive Wahoo in the final minutes was the icing on the cake. My goal booking this trip was to give my son a fishing adventure that he would remember and I promise you this kid will never forget this and neither will I, the whole experience far exceeded my expectations. If you are a person that understands quality and what goes into running a small business and to keep the clients happy then just click the “book button”. I promise you this is an experience that you will never forget and will be hard to beat. FYI i have not been paid or compensated in any way for this review, i just love to see someone’s hard work and dedication to an industry he loves pay off and he loves to see his clients having a great time.
That an awesome review! We appreciate this so much and are thrilled you had an excellent experience. Looking forward to seeing you again one day soon!
I took my two sons and my niece fishing with Captain Ryan and had a great experience. Captain Ryan was engaging with the younger folks, they loved his music he played and very knowledgeable about various spieces, fishing spots etc. Had good stories to share, kept the bait on the line for all of us amateurs and made sure everyone caught something. Caught Grouper, Snapper, Triggerfish and a handful of other varieties. Cleaned the keepers for us for a fantastic meal that evening. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for this review. We are so happy you and the family had a great time. Hope to see you guys again soon!
If you are in search of a fishing charter for you and your family, look no further. Aruba Bound Charters was everything we expected and more. I wanted a trip to take my two boys ages eleven and fourteen so that they could catch a couple of fish and get the ocean fishing experience. Not only did we catch fish we got to spend time with captain Ryan, his daughter Shade and his first mate Danye who were all knowledgeable, attentive and a pleasure to be around. We even got to see captain Ryan reel in a ten pound barracuda which was so exciting for all of us to see. At the end Ryan aka Skreech lol, even cut our fish into filets so we could cook them back at our time share. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish and we can’t wait to return some day! Thank you Ryan and team!
The fishing trip with captain Ryan and Javier was absolutely amazing. They are expert fisherman that will share with you their knowledge so it’s not only about catching fish (which of course we did!) but understand and learn how to do it. We caught a wahoo with a free line (without a rod!) and the feeling of the fish on your hands while you are pulling the line was awesome!! We also caught a king mackerel with their lucky rod and the fight with the fish was epic! If you want to have a real fishing experience, call captain Ryan. This is not a fishing trip, it’s a fishing adventure.
My son and I joined Captain Ryan for a fishing trip 8/15. My son and I have been on many including Key West, Long Island USA, Jamaica, Rivera Maya and we understand it’s fishing . We had a great experience with with the crew. They were funny, educated abut fishing , and empathetic. The waters were rough, we had about 7 strikes and landed 2 an had a giant fish break 60 lb test line . This is fishing. If you are looking for a cruise this is not the charter for you. If you are looking for hard core fishing this is the place . We are grateful for our time spent . Michael H. Scranton, PA USA
