Keep It Reel Fishing And Snorkeling Tours is located in Oranjestad and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Come on aboard with Capt. Alexandro, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, and spearfishing, based on the species you're targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 3 to 6-hour trips, where you'll be fishing for the likes of Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Amberjack, Tuna, and Bonito, depending on the specific season and the day's weather.

Your boat for the day will be a 30' Boston Whaler that fits up to 10 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with a toilet and ice box. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that's up to you is to use it as best you can.

You will share the catch with the crew, contact the captain before the trip if you have any questions about keeping the catch. There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated.

You'll find free drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you're always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to. This is a children-friendly charter, so you're welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

Bottom Fishing & Snorkel Combo (AM) on April 29, 2025

Alexandro and his lovely wife Kelli are lovely people and were amazing throughout our fishing/snorkeling experience. Alexandro, insistent on making sure we had a great fishing experience, changed spots a few times to ensure we were successful, and that we were! The snorkeling was a flawless way to complete our 1/2 day trip. They even cleaned the fish we caught while we were snorkeling so we could have it prepared for lunch (highly recommended). This was our first time to Aruba, but it definitely will not be our last and Alexandro will most certainly have our business again when we return.

Captain Alex and his crew did an amazing job on our trip. Leading up to the trip he kept us updated and the boat was prompt. Everyone kept our hooks baited and while not doing that the crew was busy cleaning and maintaining the boat. We did a four hour trip where we did bottom fishing and then snorkeling. It helped keep the kids completely entertained and busy. It was perfect. I cannot recommend this boat enough. I will most definitely book captain Alex again in my next trip to Aruba. VERY well done!!!!!

Half Day Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on March 28, 2025

Captain Alex and crew went above and beyond to make this experience for my family of five (including kids ages 16,14,12) our most enjoyable day in Aruba. He knew where to fish, when to move, where to snorkel, and how to assure we were always happy and smiling. His boat was top-notch, clean, and plenty large enough for a party of 5+2 crewmembers. We all caught fish of different types and were able to snorkel and see beautiful reefs and fish. We all highly recommend Captain Alex and would use him hands down again for our bottom fishing and scuba experience.

Bottom Fishing & Snorkel Combo (AM) on November 27, 2024

This tour was perfect for our family and every way. Captain Alex communicated with us the day before to let us know the exact meeting spot. He had lots of snacks and drinks for the kids. He and Kelly were very patient teaching kids (12,14,16) who had never fished before how to use the rods. The snorkel spot had lots of large exotic fish. We probably spent 30 minutes or so snorkeling and the rest of the time fishing, which was a good split. The boat ride also gave a tour of the northwest end of the island up until the lighthouse. I would highly recommend!

Half Day Deep Sea Fishing (AM) on October 26, 2024

My wife and I had a great time on the boat with captain Alex and his crew Kelly and Lisander. They were very friendly, polite, and accommodating. I pulled in a nice king mackerel with a hand line while trolling the deeper waters. Something I had never seen before and it was very exciting. We moved into shallower water for some bottom fishing where both my wife and I caught a variety of species including grouper, trigger fish, grunt fish and some others I’m forgetting. The bottom fishing was action packed and the bites were instant. Overall was very pleased and would highly recommend these guys.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I used to work as a terminal operator for 18 years, my passion are boats and ships and my hobby is fishing. So I decided to buy a boat and learn the art of deep sea fishing and trolling, but due the covid pandemic I lost my job so I turned my hobby in a full time job to provide to my family.
