The small island of Aruba could be called a fisherman's paradise. Surrounded by deep waters thanks to a steep drop off close to the island's shores, you can find a variety of game fish just minutes away from the harbor. Take a trip aboard Thaisa II to experience the thrill of fishing in Aruba with an enthusiastic crew that will do everything to put you on the fish.

Thaisa II is a 36' Bertram flybridge boat. This boat retains its original features that gave Bertram its respected name in the sportfishing world, while keeping up to date with safety appliances surveyed every 6 months to ensure the safety of everyone on board.

Powered by twin Cummins engines, the boat will take you to the best fishing spots quickly and dependably, while also being a comfortable vessel to fish off. With a television in the living area, 3 beds for relaxing and a galley with a sink, the boat also features a large deck with three fighting chairs so everyone can be part of the action.

Whether you want to troll for game fish, bottom fish, or simply go snorkeling around the island, the crew aboard Thaisa will work hard to make sure your trip is one to remember. With deep water only a few minute's boat ride from the harbor, you could be in with a chance of catching fish right from the start of your trip.

With potential catches including Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, and King Mackerel, this is a recipe for a sportfishing trip you will never forget.

Hop aboard Thaisa II and experience the amazing sportfishing the island of Aruba has to offer!

Great Aruba experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 17, 20252 adults
The boat owner and crew were able to accommodate my sister who is mobility challenged so she could come enjoy the fishing experience. The captain was knowledgeable of the waters, the mate was informative and they both worked so hard to try to find fish. We hooked a Bonita about an hour in - then fished and waited till almost the end before hooking and landing a beautiful Mahi Mahi. We will definitely be back to Aruba and we will certainly book an experience or two or 3 with them again. Thanks for a great time fishing in Aruba.

Fantastic Day on the Water!
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 24, 20254 adults1 child
We had an amazing time on our deep-sea fishing trip! The captain and skipper made everything so easy and enjoyable from start to finish. We landed 5 beautiful, good-sized mahi mahi, and the crew went above and beyond by cleaning and packing them up for us to take home. They were incredibly accommodating and made the whole experience stress-free and fun. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fantastic fishing adventure!

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 6, 20264 adults
5-6 foot swells welcomed us. That didn’t stop us from having numerous hits, we lost a few at the boat, but ended up with 2 tuna and one king fish. We had a large marlin on which this grip extra special!!! The crew was awesome and found a way to get us fish in very challenging conditions. Give them a try, you’ll be very happy you did. Dave Bohn
