What To Expect

Hit the water for some exciting Bonaire fishing with Calypso Charters. Whether it's your first time or you’ve been sport fishing for years, the father-son team of Captain Hagen and Florian will make sure you have a great time. Get comfortable onboard our 28′ Mako Center Console and puts you close to all the action. Our boat is fast and stable, providing a comfortable ride. It has the amenities serious fishing demands, including a live bait well and iced fish lockers to keep the catch fresh. Bonaire's underwater topography makes great fishing possible almost anywhere, from just off the coast to the deep blue. Trolling, jigging, and deep drops are all on the agenda. We can even head out to one of the FADs (fish attraction devices) where the yellow-fin tuna and billfish like to hunt. We’ve fished the island for decades and know the best spots to go. Also…we bring plenty of cold drinks and tasty sandwiches on every fishing charter. Because, hey…you can’t fish on an empty stomach. Our fishing ethos is respect for the sea and its marine life. All billfish are released. If you want a portion of any other catch, we are happy to clean, fillet, and package it for you.

We had an amazing morning on our fishing trip! The guys on board were super friendly and everything was really well organized. They explained everything clearly, and we got to help out with all the steps. so much fun and very educational. We caught some beautiful fish and had a fantastic time. We’d definitely do it again. Highly recommended! 🎣

Captain Hagen and Florian are delightful to be around and they know their stuff. 1 hour into the trip and every other cast was a black fin tuna (results may very for others… but jigging was a blast on our end. Cooler stocked with beer and food - these guys know how to host. They are also very knowledgeable about the island its topography/history. Great trip all around PS. if you think you are tough bring Dramamine. I thought I was tough. I needed Dramamine.
Great crew

My wife and I went for a half day fishing charter, they were very responsive to all questions and letting us know what to expect. The captain is so friendly and personable as well as his first mate his son . They welcomed us with open arms, telling stories and each of us sharing experiences. We got pounded by rain and then it cleared up , they gave my wife a rain coat to make her more comfortable during the storm . I can say we honestly didn’t catch anything but it wasn’t from trying! The weather cleared up and it was a beautiful day , they made sure to include my wife who was just along for the ride to make her very much so part of the group. The gave us a lot of information about the island, when it ended he gave me his number and told me to ask for any help while we were on the island. I can’t say enough good things about them . The boat was very well maintained and comfortable, they had snack , sandwiches, water , pop . I would use them again in a heart beat !
Best fishing charter I’ve ever done!

My wife and I fished with Captain H and Flo over Valentine’s Day this last year. I cannot recommend them enough. They were absolutely amazing and we loved our experience with them. They were both amazing and we will undoubtedly book a trip again with them on our next trip to the island. Do yourself a favor and book with Captain H and Flo!
Best experience right here!!!

Great experience, Hagen and his son are a fantastic crew! We went out for wahoo but they were not biting. That is why its called fishing an not catching! But not to come home empty handed Hagen got us on some nice Barracuda and Bar Jack. All in all we had a great time, lots of laughs, caught some fish and made some memories. Will definitely book again next time we are in Bonaire. Highly Recommend!!!
Fantastic experience!

Great experience. Capt Hagen and mate Floyen are a father and son team with a beautiful boat, experienced, and were a delight to spend a morning with. Felt like a friend more than a customer. Will do again next time in Bonaire.
A must see and must do!

Good communication with the captain prior to the fishing trip with friends (4 men). The different fishing methods ensure you a good catch. Catering is ok. Very sympathetic, open and reliable crew (father and son). In future we would definitely choose Bonaire Calypso Charters again.
Great time!

Our family of three had an incredible morning fishing with Team Calypso in Bonaire! Highlights included all of us catching barracudas, and a pod of dolphins swimming alongside the boat—truly magical! The father-and-son team are professional, friendly and easy to talk to. Their local tips and insistence on good vibes—complete with reggae tunes—made the trip extra special. They also packed a delicious picnic lunch and drinks. We highly recommend spending time on the water with Team Calypso!
