5.00We did a fantastic tour with Fishing Dutchman and it was really one of the highlights of our time on Bonaire. Arjen is a top guest: super friendly, relaxed and you immediately notice that he really has passion for what he does. He knows a lot about Bonaire and talks about it in a fun, accessible way, making the whole trip not only beautiful, but also interesting. We have been to Klein Bonaire, which is really beautiful. While snorkeling we have seen a lot of beautiful, colorful fish really an experience you will not forget. Everything was well arranged and the atmosphere was just very nice and cozy. You will immediately feel comfortable on board.
Snorkling too!!!

5.00Only wanted to snorkel and that us what we did. Great way to see the shoreline and enjoy prime snorkel spots without the crowds. Also went south to see the salt processing area, well worth the time. Lots of flying fish and dolphins. Highly recommend.
Great day!

5.00Argen, (pronounced AR-EE-N) was easy to get hold of via text when our cruise ship pulled into Bonaire. I waved at him from our balcony and he met our party of four at the public swimming pool pier. Nice boat with a brand new Suzuki outboard and just the right amount of electronics for catching fish. Argen is very kind and has an interesting background. Our entire group was fond of him almost immediately. We monitored marine radio and it was clear that no other boats had caught anything. We actually caught a small tuna and once barracuda. Unfortunately, we lost one wahoo that was hooked and another that ripped line but failed to hook up due to the speed it hit at while maintaining its forward momentum. Give Argen a try. He’s a great fisherman with a huge array of lures and quality rods and reels. Thanks for the great adventure Argen! You can also book direct on the FishingDutchman on the internet.

5.00We scheduled a 1/2 day trip. Arjen was a great communicator and everything was very smooth. My kids had a great time! When we forgot our water bottles on the boat he even went out of his way to deliver them to us.
Fun fishing in the sun

5.00Arian was amazing. From the time we booked out trip to the arrival time and the experience he was top notch. He put us on fish, took us to a snorkel spot and was absolutely a gentleman the entire time. I would highly recommend using him! It’s incredible to have the entire boat to yourself.
The Fishing Dutchman rocks!!
