Had a great afternoon with captain Arnold. Would highly recommend!
Arnold was fully professional and truly loves what he does. He’s very commanding, and that’s important when running a tight ship. He guided us through catching a few small (18-24”) tuna and two big fish (a mahi mahi and a yellow fin tuna). He said this was a lucky day, but I feel he knows what to do to find the big catches.
I researched several deep sea fishing tours and settled on La Menta. I highly recommend this team. I would recommend taking something to avoid sea sickness beforehand as a couple of us lost their breakfast with the diesel fumes and high waves on a relatively calm day. Even so, both of my young kids were chattering away the whole ride back to the resort about what a great time they had. If I come back to Curacao, I’ll book with La Menta again.

Captain picked us up after our Carnival cruise docked and took us to their boat. Greeted by the deck hand. Took off and within 30 minutes had our first yellow tail tuna in the boat. Ended up catching an 80lb Wahoo and two more tuna. Captain and crew was very informative. Provided us with fresh fruit, awesome chicken to eat that was cooked right on their boat, and plenty of drinks. We highly recommend.
The captain/owner Arnold, is retiring but leaving the boat in very capable and knowledgeable hands (they were running the boat on our trip). The boat is seaworthy…takes semi-rough seas very well. We only caught two fish (one bonito and very small yellowfin tuna)...but that’s two more than we would have caught had we not gone. Not disappointed - it was a great time on the water. Would recommend going!
We did the 4 hour trip where they essentially take you out to a buoy 10 miles out. We trolled the entire time as there wasn’t any action on the surface. It ended up being slow, but we did catch a small Yellowfin and a Bonita.
The crew was great and the boat was vary stable on the choppy water. The water is usually pretty bumpy here so this is really important.

Had a great first family fishing trip with Arnold. We were compressed for time because of our own schedule but Arnold made it work with a flexible start time and a drop off close to our follow-on location. Watching my son’s land their first Mahi, do some hand lining and just be out on the watch was awesome. Arnold was even able to stabilize the boat for a bit while trolling to help my wife who got quite sea sick, which made everyone’s experience better. Thank again for a great adventure!
