Fishing in Aruba

Home to some of the greatest Billfishing in the Caribbean, Aruba is slowly climbing to the top of every anglers fishing wishlist. This tiny island off the coast of Venezuela boasts great year-round weather, colorful beach towns, and a vibrant fishing scene. Aruba fishing charters will take you into deep waters in search of pelagic trophies. Or you can stay closer to shore for incredible fly fishing.

Topping the list of fish to catch here are a slew iconic big game species. These include Blue and White Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, several varieties of Tuna, and Wahoo. If you’d prefer to stay closer to shore, the inshore and nearshore waters can be just as exciting.

Head to the reefs and expect to hook into a variety of Snapper and Grouper, Triggerfish, Queenfish, and Parrotfish. If you’re a fly angler, you won’t want to miss out on the opportunity to explore the flats. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to cast for Bonefish, Tarpon, Snook, and Barracuda.

The waters get deep as close as 2 miles from shore, meaning deep sea fishing is accessible even to anglers who only have half a day to spare. If you’re hoping to hook a “Caribbean Grand Slam,” however, opt for a full day on the water. Fly anglers will also want to allot some extra time to their trip if heading out in pursuit of elusive fish like Bonefish.

Aruba is small, meaning you’ll find fishing charters nearly everywhere. Head out of Noord if you’re after Billfish and stick to the southwestern coast if you're fly fishing. This side of the island is more sheltered from the wind, making it easier to cast.

Reglas & Regulaciones

If you’re a tourist fishing in Aruba, no fishing license is required. Just keep in mind that all Billfish are catch and release only. Likewise, spearfishing is prohibited across the island.

Aruba Temporadas de Pesca

Enero

With average temperatures between 76-86°F, January is a great time to get out on the water. Marlin, Wahoo, and Blackfin Tuna are at their peak. Meanwhile, the reefs offer Snapper, Grouper, and more.

Febrero

The height of Marlin season continues, with Whites and Blues biting vigorously off the north shore of the island. Your chances of landing a Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, or Tuna are also excellent.

Marzo

Come March, the peak season for Marlin will be winding down, but Tuna and Wahoo are still offering plenty of action offshore. As always, the flats and reefs promise treasures of their own.

Abril

Marlin fishing enters its low season in April, as Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo take the lead. Inshore, fly fishing is at its height, with big Tarpon showing up soon. Average temperatures are creeping toward 90°F.

Mayo

You can enjoy great fishing no matter where you cast your line in Aruba at this time of year. Tarpon are biting inshore, while the reefs provide a steady supply of bottom fish.

Junio

Summer fishing continues, with a chance to catch Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and plenty more on a deep sea charter. You can expect temperatures to range from 80-90°F.

Julio

After months of low activity, King Mackerel appear on the scene in full force during July. Fishing for Snapper and Grouper continues to be good, and the flats are a non-stop source of light tackle action.

Agosto

With local temperatures at their highest, it’s a bit harder to find the fish swimming around Aruba. With a little luck and a savvy guide, however, you can still hook into almost anything here!

Septiembre

Wahoo and Sailfish are re-entering their peak seasons. Marlin will starting biting more too, increasing your chances of a Grand Slam.

Octubre

With many big game species finally at their peak and consistently fair weather, you couldn’t pick a better time for deep sea fishing in Aruba than October. Meanwhile, you’ll find big Bonefish on the flats.

Noviembre

You’re more likely to catch a Marlin than ever at this time of year, and there are plenty of Barracuda, Kingfish, and Wahoo. The reefs are teeming with Snapper and Grouper.

Diciembre

Even in December, local temperatures rarely dip below the low 70’s. Big game fishing on the north shore of the island will produce Blue and White Marlin, Wahoo, and more.

Be prepared for choppy waters. This is real deep sea fishing, with 15-20 foot swells on normal weather days.

I would recommend lifting weights for a few months before your trip so you can catch more fish.

Trolling and teaser fishing can be hit or miss. Never a guarantee. If it’s important to make sure everyone catches fish or kids are onboard, then try a bottom fishing trip. The weather and sea are beautiful. Can be very windy at times.

The North side of the island has large swells, so if you get motion sickness, you will definitely want patches or medication. We did see land the entire time during our trip, so that did help keep your eye on the horizon.

Maybe not all species are hitting but a lot are. One boat landed a handful of wahoo and tamed a sailfish which are typically scarce this time of year.

We booked the morning run and had a great experience. Crew says it doesn’t matter time of day to fish. We wore runners and shorts/swimsuits. Sunscreen. Bring a cooler to put any fish you wish to take home and they will supply ice. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t catch fish for a bit as the first few minutes is travelling to where most of the fish are. They supply water and Coke. Enjoy!!

Aruba is a windy county, so there are big waves due to wind. Deep sea fishing is awesome but not for woozy people. If you get sea sick or are not an ocean person this is not for you. Leave the ones who aren’t into fishing in land & you will have a great time.

Keep It Reel Fishing And Snorkeling Tours

You won't be disappointed with, Keeping it Reel! Captain Alexandro supplies all of your needs. My daughter only had to set and reel while they let me bait, cast, and retrieve. He put us on the fish first try and we caught fish until we were worn out! There's nothing that could have made our charter any better, nothing.

Alexandro and his wife took amazing care of my son Brody. We were fishing with his 1 year old sister so we were pre occupied. That was not a problem at all as they made sure Brody was comfortable and he caught around 20 to 30 fish.y son said he will never forget how amazing it was. The snorkeling was fun as well but we spent so much time fishing that the day was almost done. Would recommend it to anyone.

We chartered with Kristel for a 4 hour trip, unfortunately had to cut it short (only got 1 hour of fishing, 2 hours total) due to my wife getting seasick. It was her first time ever getting seasick. Still got two great fish, my first wahoo and first big eye tuna! The crew was very helpful and understanding.

Captain Tom picked us up at our cruise ship early morning and we had a really good time on his boat. We managed to catch a Wahoo and a Rainbow Runner. We would definitely charter him again when we return to Aruba.

Had a great time fishing on our 6 hour run. We caught two barracuda, a king mackerel and a 4’ wahoo. They do a 50/50 catch. The crew filleted ours right there at the dock and we were able to have it cooked at our resort (Tamarijn) for dinner that night. Would definitely go again. The crew was amazing and well prepared for the 6 of us that went.

Couldn’t have asked for a better captain and crew. We did 2 trips with Alex and wife Kelly one day of fishing and another day snorkeling . They hit all the right spots both days and were extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to be around. Couldn’t speak more highly of this couple. Will definitely book with them again the next time we are in Aruba.

Capt. Randy and mate Robert arrived on time and were very gracious. They were very helpful keeping our rods baited and assisting when needed to bring in our catches. Fishing wasn't the best that day but we caught enough for the nearby restaurant to cook us both up a terrific dinner after Capt. Randy filleted our catch for us. Remember it's cash only after the deposit. I would recommend Royal Blue Waves.

We got bites but had to come in early for a person in our party. Captain Roberto and mate Gregory were very kind, they were ready for us and had all the gear we needed. The trip was lovely, we started getting bites, and I am sure we would have caught something if we didn’t come back early. I would definitely recommend the Dorothy.

We caught 2 fish right off the bat and then we hit a lull. The crew never stop trying and changed things up and we started catching fish again. We had a wonderful time and caught Wahoo, Barracuda and Spanish Mackerel. We took our catch to the Flying Fishbone in Savaneta and it was absolutely delicious!
