We're not a hotel kiosk operation. Fishing Charters Bonaire is run by people who fish — who know where the yellowfin school in March, which reef edge to drift at sunrise, and how to put a line in front of a wahoo that doesn't want to be caught.
Bonaire sits on the edge of a wall that drops to over a thousand meters — true deep sea fishing grounds just minutes from the marina. Whether you're chasing your first tuna or your fortieth marlin, we run the trip the way it should be run: light tackle when conditions allow, heavy when they don't, and never more guests than the deck can handle properly.
Active gyro stabilization cuts roll by up to 95% at rest. Drift, fight, and rig in comfort — even in offshore swells where smaller boats become miserable.
Two 200-horsepower Mercury V6 Verado outboards. We're on the grounds in fifteen minutes, not forty-five — which means more time fishing and less time staring at the wake.
Okuma Makaira reels, Simrad electronics, outriggers, live bait wells, top-quality terminal tackle. Everything onboard is tournament-grade. Bring yourself; the gear is ready.
Every trip is private — the whole boat is yours. We bring the rods, reels, bait, ice, water, and local knowledge; you bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and the willingness to land something memorable. The 5-hour signature charter books online with instant confirmation; everything else is a phone call away.
Our flagship trip. Morning departure from Plaza Resort Marina, running the drop-offs and coastline toward Washington Slagbaai — trolling and jigging for tuna, wahoo, barracuda and mahi-mahi, with a real shot at marlin or sailfish.
The serious trip. Run offshore to the FADs and deep water — tuna, marlin, sailfish territory. Mixed methods: trolling out, jigging or live-baiting on station.
The bite windows. Either side of dawn or dusk, when the predators come up. Smaller party, sharper light, more fish per cast. Photographers love it.
Multi-day trips. Tournament prep. Klein Bonaire crossings. Targeting a specific species. Family days with snorkel stops. Tell us what you want; we'll build it.
Bonaire sits on the edge of a 1,000-meter wall — deep water minutes from the marina. The Caribbean's most consistent yellowfin fishery, with serious blue marlin and sailfish passing through year-round.
The cleanest, freshest yellowfin we've worked with in the Caribbean. You can taste the difference when fish are handled this carefully from the gaff to the kitchen.— René Brienen, 2-Michelin-star chef, Bonaire · Featured in the Roofmeister Bonaire documentary
The Netherlands' biggest fishing channel ran a three-part Bonaire series aboard our boat. Tuna, barracuda, snook in the mangroves — the real thing, on film.
