I’m writing this review as our Wahoo that we caught on this charter is on the grill.  Our group of 6 did a 6 hour charter and it was great.  Half of our group had never been offshore before and we all had a great time.  The Capt and his first mate knew where the fish were and how to get them in the boat.  We caught a dozen or more fish (Bonita, red Tuna, Blue Runners and two LARGE Wahoo….). We left the dock promptly at 6am and had rods in the water within 15 minutes.  We caught fish continuously throughout our charter….  I’d HIGHLY recommend this Capt and Mate.  KRISTEL fishing Aruba is top notch….

to all who are considering a private fishing charter - this is the one! the 2-man crew on this boat are engaging, friendly, experienced in what and where to steer you and w/o a doubt, will continue to catch fish as we did.
My son and I had a great experience with Capt Mike and Xavier, and would not hesitate to jump aboard again…

cheers to all who come next

Had a great morning fishing on Krystal First Mate Alexander in his flip flops was amazing rebaiting telling how to do things properly to land our fish.  Had two others get away one big one that bent the hook, Alexander said it was a big one that did that.  Anyone thinking of booking we had a great experience with this boat and crew.  In 2020 2 wahoos with them **hidden content** with a different boat and crew out of Orangestad no fish!!! Krystal is the boat to be on!!!  Thanks Again Taras, Bob, Bill and Guy!

It was nice to have a larger boat today!  The swells were (I am guessing) 8-10’s when the rain came in.  We boat on Lake Erie and I would not have wanted to be on my 28’ in the seas around Aruba. 

None of the boats in Aruba are going to be as new as the states, keep that in mind.  Crew did as well as they could getting us on fish.  Remember it is fishing not catching.  Caught 5 black fin tuna and 2 barracudas.  The crew cleaned the fish.  We asked them were to get it cooked and they directed us to the building at the beginning of the pier, second story.  That restaurant cooked up the fish and it was delicious! Thanks Alex and Gerald!

Despite all of us getting sick, Alexander made sure we weren’t going home empty handed. The moment we stepped on the ship, Alexander was hustling. He gave us clear instructions and was constantly adjusting gear to ensure we got hooked up. What was supposed to be a four hour trip, we cut it cut short dues to sea sickness. The other boats had 0-2 fish from what I was told. You won’t be disappointed with this crew. Sit back, let Alexander do his thing, and follow his instructions.
