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 family fun
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 21, 20262 adults1 child

The first mate worked with all three kids ages 10, 11 and 13 and they all caught a fish before my husband got to reel one in! Captain was great when some started to feel a bit sick and took an easy drive back in. We had a great time as a family of five! mishap with timing and miasez our trip and they offered to reschedule or refund no problem! So glad we went!

Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Awesome Trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 6, 20262 adults

We had a great time out on the water. Caught a handful of mahi, black fin tuna, and bonito. Captain and First Mate had us on fish and kept everything moving smoothly. Would go out with them again. The water was a little rough at times, but anyone could do it. Got a quick confirmation and they were responsive to questions before the trip.

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.
