Embark on Aruba Fishing Charters

One of the best ways to fish on the island is with Aruba fishing charters. These charters include everything you need for a day on the water, including a local guide, bait, tackle, and fishing equipment. Whether you are looking to experience fly-fishing or are looking for record-breaking big-game fishing, there is an Aruba fishing charter for everyone:

  • Ola Sport Fishing Aruba: Join Ola on a deep-sea charter boat for half or a whole day with a crew that specializes in big game fishing.
  • Fly & Spin Fishing Aruba: Embark on a fly-fishing trip if you want to fish for baby tarpon, snook, and bonefish. The spin fishing trip targets barracuda, amberjack, and snook.
  • Driftwood Charters: With 25 years in the business, Driftwood offers excellent deep-sea fishing charters ranging from four to eight hours. They will even prepare your catch after a day on the water at their Driftwood Seafood Restaurant.
  • Teaser Charters: Join Teaser at the Oranjestad Marina for thrilling nearshore and offshore fishing trips.
