Half day AM with Derik
Went fishing on Tuesday, July 3, 2018

It was a great experience but is was wavy!  Derik was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of it with us.  Although we only caught a couple small ones, we had a marlin and a mahi mahi on but did not land them.  Saw many tuna on the surface, but they chose to not bite…Derik never gave up though and actually extended our trip a bit, trying to land a big one.

1/2 day trip with Captain Derek with Bonus Time
Went fishing on Tuesday, May 29, 2018

It was definetly not for lack of trying unfortunately we did not land any fish but that did not overshadow a good day on the water.  The boat was in excellent condition, the Captain and Terek (Sorry if I misspelled your name) were very accommodating and very professional.  Inexperienced clients look these guys up.  They will make you comfortable and ensure a good experience and experienced anglers you get great knowledge of the island and the surrounding waters.  I look forward to returning to Curacao in the future and would definelty look these guys up…  Tight Lines!!!!

Morning bite with Capt Derek
Went fishing on Tuesday, February 13, 2018

Had a great trip with Capt Derek and mate yesterday. Full of action, about 10 hits of blackfin tuna, bonito and barracuda. We did not catch the big ones, although a shark attacked the bait twice right behind the boat. That was close. Enjoyed chasing the birds (which were chasing the fish) and seeing baitfish jumping out of the water. Despite high winds, waves did not exceed 6 ft and the boat did not care. Captain is very enthousiastic and shares a lot of his decades long experience. Definitely worth a recommendation!

Open trip on Party Warrior
Went fishing on Tuesday, December 26, 2017

I had a great day, fishing with one other fellow, and Capt Derek on Party Warrior.  While the Capt & mate worked hard all day, up and down the break , to find fish we didn’t have much luck.  Not for lack of effort.

I did have the unique experience of landing a barracuda on a handline - too cool.

Capt Derek is a lifetime Curacao fisherman who obviously enjoys what he does and wants to make the trip fun and a great learning experience.

Thanks to Capt Derek.

Awesome Captain and Mate
Went fishing on Tuesday, July 11, 2017

As with all of life, it is the people we meet that make the journey worthwhile.  Captain Derek and first mate Arnold created an awesome fishing adventure for us.  They are professional fisherman who are passionate about their sport and eager to share it with guests.  My wife and I have been on several chartered fishing trips and this was the best!  We learned a great deal about Curacao and about fishing for barracuda, wahoo, tuna, and marlin.  While we didn’t land the big wahoo, we did catch tuna, bonita, and two nice-sized barracuda and learned a lot in the process.  Of course, the cooler was well stocked and we enjoyed some tasty freshly-caught black fin tuna sashimi afterwards.  I would recommend Captain Derek and will use him the next time I am in Curacao!

Tough day fishing
Went fishing on Wednesday, February 24, 2016

Not a single hit for our boat all day long.  Definitely a fishing day,  not a catching one.  Can’t blame it on anything but the fishing gods however.  First class boat,  captain and mate.
