Caught multiple wahoo and a sailfish. Had a couple of near misses with a big yellowfin tuna and a blue marlin.
The boat is well maintained, safe, clean and organized. The captain and crew are professional, skilled and very nice/fun people.
They take great care of you and I'd recommend them for both beginners and experienced saltwater fishermen.
Also, I prefer boats that release the billfish caught (like Juri / FishTails). Many here do not release them.

As a family, we have not had the best luck with guided fishing trips or charters. This trip broke our curse. It was as enjoyable to watch Fabian and Sam use their skill as it was to watch my son reel in a big Wahoo. At one point, we were pulling in Barracuda everytime a live bait hit the water. You also get a six hour Bonaire history lesson. We will be back and we will be booking again with BBGF.

That was the best fishing in our life. Yuri and Sat are the best, professionals in every percent, they exactly know what the big game fishing means. Best choose in Bonair. Next time Marline is ours, Cya.

I had an early morning charter with Bonaire Big Game Fishing with captain Yuri and his mate Vincent on the boat Fish Tales. What an exciting adventure. The boat is large and comfortable and has no problem handling the bonaire seas. Food and non alcoholic drinks are provided and feel free to bring your own. The captain knows these waters very well and where to go to catch the big game. At the end of the day I came home with 3 black fin tuna and a 50+pound Wahoo. I definitely recommend BonaireBigGameFishing and I look forward to booking with them again.

The offshore fishing experience with the FishTales boat in Bonaire, led by Captain Yuri and mate Vincent and deckhand Sam, was exceptional. The crew's expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the trip. They navigated us to prime fishing spots, where we reeled in an impressive wahoo. Their knowledge of the local waters and marine life added to the adventure. Overall, a highly recommended charter for any angler seeking an unforgettable fishing excursion in Bonaire.

Yuri and his crew are a professional team.
Fish in different ways, different techniques, different depths to have as much success as possible. We set out early to catch tuna, with success!
A fun, educational, enjoyable and well-organized experience, we will do that again!

Fun time fishing!! The crew was great to work with. We didn’t get any of the big fish. So the crew got things set up so we could catch some barracuda, which we did, 3 total. They cut the fish up so we could take them back to where we stayed and cook them. Great experience and so worth the cost.

Catch the fish of your life at the Fishtales! After having been with captain Yuri and deckhands for a number of years with his perfectly equipped boat and unfortunately having lost a very nice fish before, this trip was a success and I caught the fish of my life! A blue Marlin of approximately 3 meters and over 300 lbs was temporarily next to the boat and we were able to release it safely (catch & release). what a fantastic experience and drill, no gym can compete with that :-)
of course everything has been taken care of; from drinks and food to explanations and top guidance.
For a perfectly organized day during your holiday, book with Yuri from De Fishtales!

A friend and I booked this charter expecting our women to go with us. When they decided not to go my buddy and I decided there was no way we would miss this trip and I was not disappointed in the least.
I have sport-fished all over the Southeastern US and Carribean Islands nad I have experienced both good and bad charter operations. This one is a first class, Excellent Charter.
The boat is immaculate for a sportfishing charter. It has plenty of room for four anglers plus the crew and appears lovingly maintained.
Fabian, the Mate, is by far the "Saltiest" hand I have ever seen and I must say it was an absolute pleasure watching this hard-working man in action. It is amazing to see a man doing what he was obviously born to do, for a living!
The fish weren't cooperating on our trip so we took that time to discuss the beautiful coastline and the features we saw as we trolled along the North Western coastline. To be honest I appreciated that almost as much as the fishing because we got a unique view of Bonaire, and unique information about life on Bonaire we would not have gotten otherwise.
I will return to Bonaire, and I will fish with Yuri and Fabian on the Fishtales again, and I encourage anyone with the opportunity to do the same- you will not regret it.

I have caught Dorado and wahoo in Mexico, and I have been able to get the meat frozen (hard) there and then take it back to the United States. Can I do the same thing with fish caught in Bonaire? If I bring a cooler and bags, can you bag it and freeze it for me? (I would expect to pay for this.)
Written February 7, 2019
We can bag it for you but we dont have a proffessional freezer so the freezing part is something we cannot arrange for you.
As far as shipping goes its possible to take it back to the US but like mentioned we cant get dry ice.
You would be depending on freezing it solid and hoping it will get there frozen.
