Bonaire is a true Caribbean gem renowned for its exceptional fishing opportunities. Nestled in the Leeward Antilles, the island boasts crystal-clear waters and thriving marine life, making it a paradise for anglers of all levels. With its close proximity to deep drop-offs and oceanic ledges, Bonaire offers immediate access to big game fishing right from the shore—meaning you can start fishing almost as soon as the boat leaves the dock.

The waters around Bonaire are teeming with sought-after pelagic species. Anglers regularly hook into Blue and White Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and several varieties of Tuna, including Yellowfin, Blackfin, and Skipjack. The diversity doesn't end there—local charters also target Snapper, Grouper, and other reef species, making every trip a unique adventure. The island's professional captains bring local expertise and utilize techniques like trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, and live-baiting to maximize your experience.

Bonaire fishing charters are designed to cater to everyone, from first-time anglers to seasoned sport fishers. The island's calm, sheltered waters ensure a comfortable ride, while the abundance of fish near the coastline means less time traveling and more time reeling in memories. Beyond the catch, you'll be immersed in spectacular Caribbean scenery and might even spot sea turtles, parrotfish, and other colorful reef dwellers as you fish.

For those looking for the ultimate angling adventure in the Caribbean, Bonaire stands out with its pristine environment, professional charter services, and a reputation for delivering unforgettable fishing experiences. Discover why Bonaire fishing charters are a top choice for anglers around the world and see what makes this island a must-visit fishing destination.

    Amazing Fishing Trip - Will Repeat

    Fishing is in open water and can be unpredictable in whether sea is smooth or rolling…we had 4-6 ft rolling waves but we love to fish so we enjoyed it. Just keep that in mind if you are prone to sea sickness. Possible that you can catch some great fish…but there are never guarantees because fish one day can be great but not the next…but a fisherman doesn’t let them stop them.

    Best fishing experience.

    We were in a Cruise we just stopped to the day. We booked the afternoon excursion. Once we got on the boat he said he would have worked with us on the time slots. So if you want a trip Carlos it's best to ask questions instead of waiting till your trip.

    We 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!

    If 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!!

    Amazing time fishing in Bonaire with Calypso

    Captain Hagen and his son, Flo, the first mate, made my daugter and I feel like expert anglers—giving us excellent advice with how to use live bait and telling us interesting things about the island. And we caught barracuda! My daughter hauled in one that was more than four feet long. Amazing. Captain Hagen cleaned two of our smaller fish for us to cook, and told us he helps feed a local family with the catches that customers don't take. We highly recommend Calypso.
