fishing was slow,laughs were high. the mate joe who was captain when we were here in 2021 remembered us,almost thought he was full of it but he was like yea your wife brought the barracuda in on a handline at the end sure enough he remembered. was happy to see him he works so hard switching things up,checking lines making your day great even with slow fishing. caught a bonita and a barracuda. the boat is fixed up compared to last time i was on it,definately favorite go to boat.

My wife and I had a great time fishing with the Thaisa II and their crew. It was my wife’s first time deep sea fishing and she had fun. The first mate Ricky was great and was able to tell us stuff about Aruba and the surrounding area as we headed out. After a while of fishing caught a Wahoo. Shortly after we started hitting some Mahi-Mahi. When we got back Ricky filleted what we wanted to eat and let the crew have the rest. We walked it over to Lucks restaurant at the dock and they cooked it... Meer

We booked an 8-hour day on the water knowing Aruba can be windy with some substantial waves. I highly recommend a boat this size (35’) that can handle the seas with ease. Although the boat is a bit dated, we always felt comfortable and safe; especially appreciated the three fishing chairs. Our guide, Joel, was pleasant company, very skilled, and worked tirelessly to keep us on the fish, constantly changing out baits. We ended the day with 4 barracuda and had a truly splendid experience!

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... Meer

We only did a 4 hour trip, Caught a few bonito and a pretty nice Blackfin Tuna. The captain was pretty quiet and just drove the boat, but the 1st Mate was incredible. Super great energy, passion and knowledge of fishing and the island were amazing. All of the bait rigs were top notch! Highly recommend! Tight lines!
