We went with our two sons fishing with Captain Carlos on the Caribbean Sea near Bonaire. We went on his boat to the south end of the island and did trawling and bottom fishing. He was very friendly, anticipating our needs (do you still feel OK?) and speaking a lot about the fishing, the island, etc. We had a lovely afternoon, caught fish and experienced a beautiful sunset (our trip was slightly scheduled to experience this!). Carlos cleaned the fish that we caught and we prepared it in the evening for dinner, best ever!!! We will certainly do this again as we are frequent visitors of Bonaire. You should as well….!

We did the morning trip with Cpt. Carlos and had a wonderful experience. We caught several types of fish using different techniques. Carlos was very nice, relaxed, and willing to answer all questions (fishing related and not). Carlos went out of his way to setup a local chef to cook our fish for dinner and we enjoyed our best meal on the island prior to leaving the next day. If you want a personalized and well planned fishing experience, this trip is for you. Would 10/10 recommend and plan to fish with Carlos again when returning to Bonaire.

Our family of four had the most incredible time on this fishing boat tour — hands down the highlight of our trip to Bonaire! From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Carlos and his crew mate Tariq made us feel right at home. They knew all the right places to fish - less than an hour into our trip everyone had a catch.

The energy on the boat was fun and upbeat — perfect for families. We each caught a fish (yes, even the kids!), and the look on my youngest son’s face when he reeled in a huge tuna was priceless — a moment we’ll never forget.

Captain Carlos didn’t just stop at fishing — he recommended Tastys restaurant where they cooked up our fresh catch, and wow… it was delicious! Such a perfect way to end the day.

If you’re in Bonaire and looking for a unique, fun-filled, and memorable experience, fishing with Captain Carlos is an absolute must. Thank you, Captain Carlos and Tariq, for an unforgettable day on the water!

Booked a four hour trip with Captain Carlos. Weather the night before made the trip a bit questionable but we went and weather and seas were perfect. First bite came within a minute. Carlos uses hand lines which is a 1/4” nylon rope with weights every foot or so. Once a fish bites you hand over hand pull it in. First fish broke the line and Carlos had us fishing in minutes. He also had a rod and reel trolling off the back. That line hit second. Within 30’ of the boat a shark took that tuna. Lots of bites unfortunately it was a day without landing them. Had a really nice wahoo hookup that fought for a couple minutes before breaking loose. After trolling tried bottom fishing for a short period of time. 300’ down, small fish taking the bait. Ended with three small fish including one red snapper. Overall great morning. Perfect weather. Sound but small boat. I’d definitely recommend it. There is a fish market in town for backup so you don’t need to eat goat. Thanks again Carlos

If you’re coming to Bonaire and want to catch some fish, book a trip with Carlos. He is super friendly, professional, and got my wife and I on fish quickly on our honeymoon. Seeing her catch ger first tuna was worth it all for me! We caught tuna and queen snapper, and one fiesty eel. Also, follow Carlos’ recommendation for a “cook your catch” place after your trip to Tasty Bar and Steakhouse in town. Phenomenal end to a great experience.
