SPORT FISHING ON BONAIRE

DISCOVER

Just off the coast of Bonaire the water gets deep quickly, and that is where wahoo, mahi-mahi, tuna and barracuda hunt. On this private fishing charter you head out to sea with an experienced captain, with rods and bait on board. Never fished before? No problem, the crew helps you get started. Experienced anglers get the freedom to decide where and how they fish. The price is per boat, not per person: you rent the complete charter for your own group.

WHAT TO EXPECT

THE CHARTER STEP BY STEP

Half or a full day on the open sea. In broad strokes, this is how the charter goes.

Out of the harbor early

DEPARTURE

Fishing charters usually depart early in the morning, when the chance of a bite is highest. You report to the Kralendijk marina, where the captain has the boat and fishing gear ready.

Fishing on the open sea

THE ACTIVITY

Beyond the reef the bottom quickly drops to hundreds of meters deep. The captain knows the spots where wahoo, mahi-mahi and tuna hunt and sets the lines. You reel them in, with help from the crew where needed.
