Best part of our trip

Half Day Trip (PM)3 adults

This is our first time in Aruba and my dad really wanted to do deep sea fishing - he is an avid fisherman and runs his own charter business off the Jersey Shore, so he has very high expectations. I had multiple charters booked and read hundreds of reviews making sure my dad was happy. But after reading the reviewes for Ke Pasa and how hard their first mate / Captain worked, I settled with them for a 4 hour afternoon charter. And happy to report that I made the right choice. From the beginning the captain was fun, yet professional. His first mate Jay was hard working and fought to get us fish. He constantly changed fresh baits every 10 mins and worked to manage several lines on rough waters. We had a very rough day with the waves on the water (we were warned ahead of time by the captain but still chose to take the risk) but we managed to catch 8 barracuda and one good size wahoo! The captain let us watch him filet the fish on the dock and gave us a portion to go home with. Jay also walked us over to Cuba’s Cooking to help us set up dinner later. The restaurant cooked and prepared our fresh catch for our family of 5 with plenty left over which was phenomenal. Absolutely highlight of our trip and we all had a blast. Would definitely recommend Ke Pasa and would go absolutely again. thanks Gregory and Jay

    ⭐️ Reel Adventure in Aruba! ⭐️

    Half Day Trip (AM)6 adults

    Had an amazing fishing trip in Aruba from start to finish. The crew was incredibly friendly and made everyone feel welcome the entire day. The boat was very well kept. The first mate worked hard the whole trip, was super helpful, and made sure we were always set up for success. Best of all, we caught some great fish and had an absolute blast out on the water. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and professional fishing experience in Aruba!

    rough water

    Half Day Trip (PM)3 adults

    The afternoon of our trip, the wind turned extremely brisk. When we arrived, the captain told us that he was not able to take us to his normal fishing spot. Having fish in Aruba before we knew how rough it could get out around the point of the lighthouse his alternative place to stay on the Caribbean side. He did an excellent job, keeping the boat stable and as comfortable as possible . Shaggy the first mate took care of all the rigging and was very attentive. We ended up catching some nice fish and had a great time.

    Fantastic experience!!

    Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults2 children

    This was our first trip to Aruba for me my wife and 2 boys ages 11 & 6. the captain and first mate worked hard the entire charter to not only put us on yhe fish but to also keel the baits fresh which was no easy task. We ran into 6-7 foot swells on the water but nothing that was in the captains control. The captain didna great job bringing us to fish closer to shore and avoid the big waves with our little ones in board. A great experience overal id highly recommend this charter.
