Mako Tours Bonaire
Mako Tours Bonaire is located at Club Nautico Marina, on the main boulevard in Kralendijk, and offers to show you a proper fishing experience. We go far, and we go big when we talk fishing.
We recommend setting out at 4:00 AM, just before sunrise, to make the most of the prime fishing hours. Our trip begins with a high-speed run offshore to one of the island’s FADs (fish aggregating devices), where we jig for tuna during their most active feeding time. As the morning progresses and the tuna bite slows, we switch to a variety of techniques—such as trolling and bottom fishing—to keep the action going. Our captain, born and raised on the island, brings not only professional skill but also an intuitive knowledge of the local waters, ensuring a focused, motivated, and truly unforgettable fishing adventure.
Our fishing charters are true extreme fishing experiences, lasting a minimum of 6 hours to reach prime offshore spots and explore different techniques. These trips are best suited for guests in good health, so we kindly recommend that young children (below 12 years old), infants, and those who may find a long day on the ocean challenging choose an alternative excursion instead.
The catch: We often catch yellowfin tuna, blackfin tuna, wahoo, mahi-mahi, rainbow-runner, marlin, sailfish. During bottom fishing we catch: queen snapper, red snapper, yellow-tail snapper, amberjack, grouper, etc. Fishing for sword-fish is also possible upon request.
Our clean and well-maintained boat provides high quality fishing gear and tackle, coolers with ice, traditional local tools, brand-new engines, space to cool off in the shade.
The catch is divided 3 ways: crew, boat and guest. The guest has the choice of which species they prefer to keep, and the captain will fillet and bag it for you free of charge.

Awesome Day of Deep Sea Fishing
Capt Jordan is a very accomplished fisherman, extremely knowledgeable, with a great attitude and excellent work ethic! We went a few miles off the South side early in the morning. He used several different techniques throughout the trip, jigging, handlines, and popping/jerkbaits. Caught about 20 fish total with three 3-4’ yellowfin Tunas. Incredible experience. Recommended Dramamine for motion sickness. It is a workout! Highly Recommend the adventure! I enjoyed the personal stories that Capt Jordan shared.

Fantastic Fishing Trip
We met Jordan very early in the morning and drove directly North to the fishing bouy. Started jigging and we hooked tuna after a few drops. After catching as much tuna by jigging we started trolling with one handline and one rod and reel. We caught 4 more tuna trolling and then switched the lures to wahoo catching lures includung the bellies of a few tuna to get the wahoo excited. The handine got bit and at the end of the line was a very big wahoo. Soon thereafter a second handine got bit we handined in another big wahoo. It was a great 4 hour fishing trip with lots of action. Thanks Jordan. My son, his wife and I had a fantastic Fishing trip. Gil

Amazing
Captain Jordan was hands down the best fisherman ever, not only did we catch tons of tuna but he actually works HARD to get you fish and lets you do it too but will take over if he needs to. He was so patient and nice and his boat is so nice and fast. We had the best time, if available to you, i recommend starting before 5:00am to do some out of this world dark sea fishing before the sun comes up! Thank you Captain Jordan!
