8 Hour Deep sea Fishing trip with Yuri and Sam
3/4 Day Trip - Offshore on July 4, 20194 adults

We left at dawn. Our Family had a great experience. Captain Yuri is very knowledgeable. Sam is an expert deckhand and fisherman. Sam knows how to tie lures for deep sea fishing unbelievably good. We all caught fish ( Wahoo and Baracuda). The boat was comfortable enough. We all learned a lot. The trip was well worth the money and really enhanced our BonAir experience

Great Barracuda

Half Day with Captain Yuri and Fabian
Half Day Trip - Offshore on December 27, 20193 adults

We enjoyed a half day trip with our two friends and 13 year old son. Trip met and exceeded all expectations. Captain Yuri and Fabian were nice, helpful, conversational and fun to be around. Plus, we caught four fish (2 blue wahoo, one barracuda and a catch and release Sail Fish). Amazing memories to last a life time. Everyone should book with Captain Yuri.

Fishing has been a part of my life ever since I could walk and every moment I could go fishing I was fishing. After moving to Bonaire and getting hooked on saltwater fishing there was not much else I would rather do than taking people out and getting them just as hooked as I am to fishing offshore or on the flats
