Safety, Accessibility & Suitability

This section is designed to reduce booking surprises and help guests choose the right Aruba experience.

Swimming / water comfortThis experience focuses on fishing rather than swimming. Do not enter the water without crew permission. Stay clear of fishing lines while they are in use. Keep away from the stern and propellers. Follow instructions if a fish is being brought onboard. Children should remain closely supervised. Avoid leaning over the side while the boat is moving. Use flotation equipment whenever instructed.
Mobility notesHold rails when moving around the fishing deck. Expect movement as the boat travels offshore. Wear footwear with good grip. Keep bags away from working fishing areas. Remain seated when conditions become rough. Take care around rods, reels, lines, and tackle. Ask the crew for assistance when boarding. Mention mobility limitations before departure.
Sun & heatApply reef-safe sunscreen before leaving shore. Reapply sunscreen during longer trips. Wear a hat with secure fitting. Use UV-protective sunglasses. Drink water regularly. Take breaks from direct sun when possible. Consider lightweight long sleeves. Protect exposed skin during full-day trips.
Weather policyFollow all captain instructions when sea conditions change. Offshore waters may feel rougher than coastal areas. Secure phones, hats, and loose belongings. Sit securely during stronger boat movement. Avoid standing unnecessarily in rough seas. Fishing locations may change with wind and waves. Thunderstorms can require an early return. Unsafe sea conditions can lead to rescheduling or cancellation.
