We booked our trip for the 3rd week of January and are looking for a recommendation from someone who has used some of the charters not just links telling us about them. Has anyone been on a charter besides that guy who caught the 5ft sailfish? We were thinking of Kenny's Toy or teaser? any suggestions would be so helpful! Thanks!!

I am leaving for Aruba in just a few hours (I am also pretty cold in NY as well) and will be chartering a boat tomorrow. I'll let you know how it was and which one we finally selected.

I cant wait to hear from you when you come back to let us know how the fishing was!

Try the Melinea. I have used Capt peter several times

The lady Gigi use it all the time 6 times a year can get you a great rate

Hi you can also try kenny's toy or teaser which are terrific yacht boats.
plus Thaisa or Natasha.Those are the 4 best yacht boats that we have here in aruba.

I don't know how much you fish but I didn't like it on the Dorothy

They don't let u do anything
He puts the bait on and lets line out
One fish at a time is caught
If 5 people go on and only 4 fish are caught the fifth person doesn't get a chance
Boat is almost entirely on automatic pilot even if you are about to run into another boat

How was your fishing experiance? We are planning to go when we are there in Febuary. What charter did you end up using?

We used the Melinea and Capt Pete was great! We caught big a big mahi mahi and 2 wahoo's! We went on Monday the 22nd. The seas can be very rough! My boyfriend was sick over the side of the boat! Very worth it though, we were able to eat the fish that night!
