You may have noticed that there are many seafood items on the menus of our local restaurants. Deep sea fishing in Aruba is very a popular pastime, and it is very likely that the “Catch of the Day” you had for dinner was caught that way. Visitors can also enjoy the adventurous experience of Aruba fishing for themselves. Many Aruba fishing charters will offer tours that facilitate deep sea fishing and even provide tips for fly fishing in Aruba.
Bottom fishing is done in shallower water (100-300 feet deep) with the engine off, drifting over spots known to have concentrations of fish such as snapper, grouper, triggerfish and squirrelfish.
Today, there are still about 120 full-time active fishermen on Aruba. Fundacion Centro di Pesca Hadicurari, tucked between Moomba Beach and Marriott's Aruba Surf Club in Palm Beach, is a gathering place for fishermen and their families. You can join them for a local bite and drinks, but it is also dedicated to preserving Aruba’s fishing tradition, trying to balance this with modern methods.
