Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    My husband and I booked a 4 hour morning fishing charter and had a great time. Rough seas but the captain did a great job navigating. Had a tough time catching anything while trolling so they mixed it up and we went bottom fishing and found a nice honey hole of Snapper. We would have stayed out longer if we weren't starting to get a little nauseous. Happy to have caught about 30 fish. They arranged a dinner reservation for us at the Driftwood where we had the best meal of our week in Aruba.

    Sherwin and Alexander were top notch! 👌 They never quit and were changing bait and strategies every minute! We landed 4 fish! 2 Tunas, 1 skipjack, and one rainbow runner! My wife caught the biggest fish of the trip. The crew was friendly and kept the jokes coming! They even clean your fish and direct you to a local restaurant. That will prepare it! All around great time!

    Did a 6 hour fishing excursion. Caught 8 fish and had a ton of fun with Mike and Tootsie. These guys know the water and where to fish better than anyone else! Thank you for making our trip to Aruba a little more special!

    AJ and his brothers are the best! We did two trips with our adult kids (19-25y/o). First we did a snorkeling trip which was spectacular. AJ timed it perfect so we were in places ahead of the big crowds. The sights were amazing and we have snorkeled all over the world! Then three of us went on a beginner scuba dive. I was very nervous, but AJ was amazing at getting me comfortable and once I got down it was so worth it. AJ is patient and knew when to nudge and when to wait. So glad we went. It is simply like a completely different world seeing it up close. Highly recommend it and going with AJ is a must! Thank you, AJ!!!

    Our crew of Captain Rudy and Richard are experienced fishermen.
    After eventually catching 3 barracuda, we were content with our experience as first time deep sea fishermen. However, it soon became much, much better.
    We ended the day with 10 barracuda, 1 bonito and 1 wahoo that was 4.5 feet long, 35 pounds and took about 20 minutes to reel in between the three of us.
    Captain Rudy filleted the amount that we wished to keep for which we enjoyed that evening at home.
    Highly recommend the Dorothy.

    Experience was a 6 out of 5. It was perfect!
    The boat is super clean, AC cabin, fantastic host.
    Oh bought a couple bottles of rum onboard. Very good.
    We are coming back to Aruba just to go on Cocolizo again.
    Stop looking for another boat, this is the one. Bravo!

    This was such a great trip, I did it twice. Laurenz was a great communicator, on time, patient and a skilled teacher. An absolute pleasure to fish with!

    Amazing Time!!! The Captain and Crew were fantastic! My wife and I were well taken care of and the crew stayed on the fish the whole time!!
    Pulling in a Wahoo by hand is an experience of a lifetime and the Carla made it happen!!!

    Great time with Capt. Kenny and Dennis. Took the morning tour and got fish within the first hour. Ended up with 2 mahi mahi, and a blackfin tuna. cut the trip a little short due to some uneasy stomachs in the group. Took fish home and blackened some and battered and fried some. delicious!

    Thank you Marcela, Cap't John and Saul for a fun morning! We 3 friends went out for a 1/2 day morning bottom fish to try our luck at catching. All we had to do was bring ourselves, everything else provided, and Saul very kindly schooled us in how to bait the hooks. Plenty of sun coverage at the rails, and the picnic table was perfect for the delicious lunch Marcela prepared. We selected this 1/2 day because it stays in calmer waters, and looks to catch the good eating, smaller fish. We did also get in a small barracuda. We took our filets and whole fish home for dinner, and as we cooked, thanked Saul for his expert filleting!
