I booked a 6 hour fishing trip, and had a great time with a productive crew. The Captain and mate are passionate fishermen who know the area very well and how to catch fish. Although it was a slow March morning, I caught 2 wahoo, a skipjack tuna and a Bonita. We were easily the most productive boat that morning as I saw other charters coming back with little to nothing. That success was definitely due to the knowledge of the Captain and awesome mate Javier who was instrumental in catching fish. Both Wahoo were caught right after Javier rigged a new bait and made the call to try something different. I am an avid fisherman and I could recognize Javier’s passion for fishing and meticulousness in prepping his rigs. Would recommend, especially if going for wahoo.

This was our 4th time fishing with this crew in Aruba. We wouldn’t go with anyone else. They simply know how to get you on fish every single time

Fantastic day with Captain Marcelino - really knows his stuff and while it was not the fastest morning of catching (two cudas and a bonita) the Captain and his Mate gave it an A+ effort to get it done! Can't wait to fish with him again...

I did a 4 hour fishing trip out by myself with Capt Marcelino DeJesus for Wahoo. 8 on 5 in the boat. Best Wahoo trip ever. One was eaten at the transom by a shark. All of the Wahoo exceeded 5’. We got a bonus Barracuda also. Marcelino is a very productive charter Captain. I have fished with him 18 years!

We did a full day trip with captain Marcelino and it was amazing. About 1 hour into our trolling we had a big hit which ended up being a great sized wahoo. The day only kept getting better from there onward with constant barracuda bites. Around noon a small school of mahi ended up hitting all the lines at the same time. It was amazing adrenaline rush combined with the chaos of all reels screaming at the same time. The bite never slowed down and we have finished the day with a 1 wahoo, 4 mahis, 12 barracudas. Also we have hooked another Mahi and two barracudas but they got loose before we were able to get them into the boat. Overall it was an amazing experience, both captain and the skipper were very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. Highly recommended!

We have gone fishing with Marcelino multiple times over the years and would never go with anybody else. His knowledge and expertise is astounding and his passion for the sport is contagious! We always feel safe and well taken care of when with him, not to mention we never leave the boat empty handed! Our vacation is not complete without Fishing Yacht Aruba!

Our group, consisting of 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 6-13), went out for a 3 hour bottom fishing excursion with Captain Marcelino and his mate Perry. Both men were very helpful and patient as they prepared the rods and got the kids (and adults) set up to fish. When we only got a few bites, Marcelino took us to another area where we had more luck. We ended up bringing in 14 grouper, which the kids were excited about. When we returned to the pier the fish were cleaned for us and we were able to have them prepared for us at a restaurant that was a short walk from the boat. We had an enjoyable time and would book with Marcelino again. I have already recommended him to friends and family who are traveling to Aruba.

Captain Marcelino simply the best, I've fished previous years in Aruba, south side piers/dock little success. Then I met Captain Marcelino, he puts you on, the fish or sails you to the big fish grounds on the north side of the island. The water there is rough, so be prepared for rough water and big fish. Captain Marcelino, simply the best ! I'll see h this September.

4 Hours, 11 Tuna what a great day of fishing. Captain knew where the fish were and mate was terrific! We had a unbelievable afternoon of catching Yellow fin tuna until our arms fell off! I want to thank both of them and highly recommend them to anyone that is looking to fish in Aruba. Thanks again guys!!
