Mako Tours Bonaire
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.

Rick PattonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing Fishing Trip - Will Repeat
6-hour AM Trip on August 25, 2026 • 2 adultsWe caught 2 yellowfin tuna, 18 blackfin tuna, 3 Skipjack Tuna, and one good size Wahoo. We were catching so many fish, that the captain (Orlando) threw the SkipJack Tuna at another boat to keep them away. Seriously, he shared the SkipJack Tuna with another boat because they are great bait and we had plenty of fish. Will come again and for this boat (which is fast) and Captain Orlando because he was great to keep us in fish and fun to be with!
Andrew BartonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedUnbelievable trip with Captain Jordan and Mako Tours
6-hour AM Trip on March 16, 2026 • 5 adultsWe could not have had a better time with Captain Jordan. We set out early and began with jigging for Tuna. Nearly every drop we were pulling up a Tuna, totaling probably 20 within the first hour. Then, Jordan showed us a variety of different fishing techniques, and we were constantly having success. The highlight was catching a 7FT BLUE MARLIN. The fish of a lifetime and we could not be more thankful for Jordan and his immense knowledge of this island and fishing!! We also had a group of 5, all with varying levels of fishing skills. Jordan understood our limitations and made sure to tailor the experience to our needs! He filleted our fish after getting back to the dock and we have been enjoying sushi and sashimi all week. We had such a great time we booked a second trip! Thank you Jordan for an amazing experience!
Daniel WiswellRepeat angler5.0VerifiedA GREAT day with Captain Jordan
6-hour AM Trip on February 25, 2026 • 2 adultsIf you are looking for a great captain that will put you on high-quality fish, choose Captain Jordan, and Mako Tours. Captain Jordan is an absolute pro. He has a deep understanding of the local environment and of the fish you hope to be landing. There were three people in our party and we went home with more than enough Yellowfin tuna and wahoo. A GREAT day of fishing. Six thumbs up from some very satisfied customers!!
Tobias KasparRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic trip with Mako Tours on Bonaire!
8-hour AM Trip on October 20, 2025 • 1 adultI had an amazing fishing experience with Mako Tours on Bonaire! Jordan was super friendly, professional, and really knew where to find the fish. We caught several great fish and the action was nonstop. The boat was clean, well equipped, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. It was the best guided trip I’ve ever had — highly recommended to anyone visiting Bonaire who wants a fun and successful day on the water!
Ben Bigari5.0VerifiedFantasti trip!
6-hour AM Trip on January 5, 2026 • 6 adultsDon’t waste your time looking for other fishing charters. You want the guy that the other charter captains come to crowd around his cooler when he gets back…That’s captin Jordans boat.
Jay GerstRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome Day of Deep Sea Fishing
5-hour AM Trip on March 13, 2025 • 4 adultsCapt 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.
Bekki Cooper5.0VerifiedAmazing
5-hour AM Trip on April 30, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain 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!

5-hour AM Trip on March 7, 2024 • 6 adultsJordan was an excellent communicator and responded quickly to all of our questions. It was his assistance Antonio who took us out fishing. It was a windy day but Antonio did a great job of keeping us safe through the rough waters and helping us successfully catch 7 fish. Antonio kept us entertained with many fishing stories and information about fishing and the island of Bonaire.

Your captain
Kralendijk, Bonaire
I was born and raised on Bonaire, and I was fishing since I was a child. I learned most of my skills from seasoned, local fishermen. Worked on a lot of boats first as a deckhand and slowly made a career in commercial sport fishing. This is my first privately owned boat, and I decided to pursue my biggest passion. I invite you to join me on this exciting adventure, and I can teach you some unique local fishing techniques and make sure that fish gets in the boat!
