About this place

Zeerover Aruba

Zeerovers is a casual seafood eatery located at Savaneta 302 in Savaneta, Aruba. Set on a fishing pier along the waterfront, it combines a working fisherman’s wharf with an informal place to eat fresh seafood. The Aruba Tourism Authority describes it as a local gathering place where fishermen prepare their catch while guests eat and drink beside the water.

The food offering is deliberately simple and depends on the available daily catch. According to the Aruba Tourism Authority, the menu generally features one or two fresh catches together with local side dishes. Fresh fish can also be purchased at the counter to take away or prepared for guests to eat on the pier.

Dining at Zeerovers Aruba is informal. Freshly caught fish is cleaned and cooked on site and served in colorful baskets as finger food. The restaurant occupies an oceanfront setting in Savaneta, with simple seating overlooking the water and fishing activity around the pier.

The kitchen is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM and is closed on Mondays.

Savaneta is on Aruba’s southwestern coast and was formerly the island’s capital. Travelers visiting this part of Aruba can stop at Zeerovers for a straightforward waterfront meal centered on the day’s fresh catch and local sides.
