Bonaire Calypso Fishing Charters

Hagen and his son Flo are great. They accommodated us by combining a day of fishing with a snorkel. We enjoyed it so much we booked a second day!

What a special place and a special experience! Fishing with Calypso Charters, Hagen and Flo, has been fantastic. I have done several trips over the last year, multiple days and will continue to come back for more. The boat is very comfortable, new top of the line Shimano equipment and the team is fantastic. I have caught lots of Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna and Barracuda. Book this trip, you won't be disappointed!

Captain Hagen and his son, Flo, the first mate, made my daugter and I feel like expert anglers—giving us excellent advice with how to use live bait and telling us interesting things about the island. And we caught barracuda! My daughter hauled in one that was more than four feet long. Amazing. Captain Hagen cleaned two of our smaller fish for us to cook, and told us he helps feed a local family with the catches that customers don’t take. We highly recommend Calypso.

You're going to have the time of your life fishing with Capt. Hagan and Flo. We did a half day charter and pulled in some large barracuda and a wahoo. What a day. Capt. Hagan is so knowledgeable about the ocean, and history and culture of the island. He is also well versed on the marine life of the area and speaking to him was like listening to a favorite professor. Truly a scholar of the sea. Flo is also one with the ocean. He is an experienced, passionate fisherman who is incredible to watch and (try to) learn from. Absolutely book with these guys you will not regret it. Even as someone who is nervous in the ocean, he made me feel safe the entire time. The boat is very comfortable and well kept. P.S. for the girls - yes, there is also a bathroom.

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.

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 !

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!

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!!!

What a great experience!!! Hagen and Florian are a great team with knowledge, passion and humour. They really want to give their customers a full experience. And we succeeded with a Wahoo of 18 kg 😜
