Background
Captain Hagen has lived on Bonaire for nearly three decades. He's a Coast Guard-certified boat captain, 25-year PADI dive instructor (Emergency First Responder-certified), and professionally trained chef. That last credential might come in handy if you fancy a sea-to-table dinner after a successful fishing trip (we can arrange that). He's been handling boats since he was a kid and fishing just as long. He grew up helping his dad fish the waters around Guernsey, a UK island off the coast of France. Since 1999, he's been captaining boats on Bonaire. His priority on every trip is to ensure your total enjoyment while maintaining the highest safety standards, whether conquering heavy seas in search of a trophy catch, exploring coastal reefs with a snorkel and mask, or toasting another spectacular Caribbean sunset.
Techniques
Trolling, Jigging, Deep Drop, Live Bait fishing
