We had a great time on our half day trip! Fish were being finicky but we caught a few tuna. Captain/crew were a lot of fun and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. They were also able to accommodate a VERY last minute booking with great communication, which we appreciated. Overall a fantastic last day in Aruba and we will book with them again the next time we’re here!

Great Captain and first mate but the boat needs maintenance. DIW for 2.5 hours, transmission failure.

Captain Nell was great! He knew how to put us on the fish! The deck hand Alberto was outstanding! He knew how to rig ballyhoo and made sure we always had fresh baits in the water! Great assortment of lures and colors including blue and black which caught all the fish although some of the hooks were rusty. Despite 8-10 foot waves at times we managed to catch a 43” barracuda, a 45” barracuda and a 51” wahoo! The boat was very sea worthy but could use upgrades with the bathroom and asthetics.

If you are looking for a memorable day of deep sea fishing with a team that goes over and beyond, make sure you book your next excursion with the Thaisa II!

Our family was new to deep sea fishing and this team went out of their way to make everyone’s experience one to remember.

If you’re looking to do some great fishing in Aruba, feel confident in booking this boat.

Great overall experience!  We booked somewhat at the last minute, a little confusion on timing and payment, but was worked out very smoothly over text and at the boat.  Boat was a little older and had some wear, but it is a fishing boat, you should not expect a luxury yacht.  All the equipment was well maintained and ready to go.  Captain and crew were amazing!  Very respectful and excited to have us on board, even the first few hours before we caught anything were energetic, engaged in conversation and passionate about what they did.  Even though we had not caught anything we were enjoying the company and the day.  Then all craziness broke through and we started catching fish!!  The crew was on top of their game and they were amazing, not only in coaching us but also their excitement and energy was contagious.  Could not of asked for a better experience and taking our fresh fish to Lucy’s and having them prepare it right after leaving the boat was a plus!  Great day, Great people and will be booking again when we are back next year.
