We only hooked up and landed one Wahoo, but the captain and mate worked incredibly hard to get on the fish. The mate was constantly changing lures/baits to try something new. Boat was nice with two fighting chairs and plenty of room to relax, and a bathroom. Would definitely fish with them again. Also easy walking distance from most of the hotels at Palm Beach.
We left the dock a few minutes early and had lines in the water less than 10 min later.
Side note, I almost brought my 4 year old, but glad I didn’t as the seas were a bit rougher than I expected. Totally fine, but could see kids not enjoying all the rocking. If you’re kids can handle the waves or you have an extra set of hands (I was solo) than they’d probably be just fine.
Again great trip and highly recommend Sunrise!

My wife and I had one of our best fishing trips ever!!! Captain Marcelino and Robin put us on the fish. Robin is the hardest working guy that I’ve ever seen on a boat. The boat is setup perfectly and the equipment is top-notch. We had lines in the water within 5 minutes of leaving the dock.
We caught 7 big Blue Wahoos and 8 small Blackfin Tuna, along with a bonita and a small barracuda. We lost 4 other fish, with 3 of those being Blue Wahoo.
The fishing in Aruba isn’t for the faint of heart though. We were out in huge swells and the guys are pretty straight forward when you get a fish on the line, which is understandable. They are there to help you put fish in the boat. We highly recommend booking with this company.
The only suggestions I would have would be to maybe back the drag off a little bit when they see people struggling to reel the fish in. (My wife was only able to reel 2 or 3 in and I struggled reeling most of mine in.) The only other thing would be to maybe explain a few things before we start catching fish, ie which chair turns all the way, how to hold the line/rod while reeling, just because everybody does things their own way.

Day started strong, we got a Sailfish bite within the first 30 minutes, sadly it jumped and spit out the hook. We kept sailing, the crew kept working hard to get bites by changing lures and hoping for the next bite. The captain was chatting with other charters and it was a hard day for everyone. Then the action began, we started off by catching a few Bonitos and eventually we landed on some Mahi Mahi. We also caught a jack and a barracuda. The day wasn’t over yet, as we were heading back, something big hit the lure, we landed another Sailfish! This time it didn’t get unhooked and we eventually brought it near the boat for a nice healthy release. At the end of the day, we had caught 5 different species, it was fun times for everyone and I will not hesitate to book again next vacation.

Captain Marcelino was awesome and handled the boat well. It was our first time deep sea fishing and he and his first mate Robin explained everything and made our experience a blast. Pretty rough morning but Marcelino said at anytime we were uncomfortable he would turn around to calmer water but maybe not have a lot of action but could finish out or time. These guys were great and I would recommend them to anyone. We will definitely book with Marcelino and Sunrise Charters. We did get some action and landed a black fin tuna. Thank you Marcelino and Robin. Bon Dia

Patience + sea legs = fish of lifetime 1 hour in my son catches his 1st barracuda, cool! An hour later big bend in the rod, line screams, son is on rod, I got on rod, 1st mate on rod, rotated due to awesome fight. 30 minutes later Captain and 1st mate great communication to land Monster Yellowfin Tuna. Big hugs all around. Later on sim catches his first Mahi Mahi. Owner of bait comes down to see big catch. Adrenaline pumping fishing.
