Aruba Fishing

The temperate waters of the Caribbean are home to a variety of Atlantic game fish. Aruba fishing is a year-round sport, too. Sailfish, white and blue marlin, wahoo, shark, barracuda, amberjack, kingfish, bonito, and blackfin and yellowfin tuna are abundant just off the coast. There are several experienced captains that can take any tourist for the fishing experience of a lifetime. You can sail for either a full or half-day on many of the Aruba’s fine fishing boats. Many of the island restaurants will cook and serve your catch. Here’s a list of the some of the options for Aruba fishing:
