We booked a 6 hour deep sea fishing charter with Captain Gordo 3 months in advance of our trip to Curacao. Everything went as planned. We were picked up at our hotel as promised and took our fishing trip as planned. Captain Gordo and his first mate Koronel were great. They definitely knew where to fish and give us the best chance at catching some fish. The boat Papucho IV was also top notch.
We had a trip of a lifetime catching Yellowfin Tuna, Black Sailfish and White Marlin. After we returned to the dock, the captain suggested a local restaurant for us to have our Tuna prepared for our early dinner. His suggestion did not disappoint. Nothing better than the freshest tuna possible prepared as we asked.
This was definitely a great experience and I would recommend if you want to fish in Curacao, Captain Gordo at Fish Curacao is where you want to be!

Trip started from spanish water near our accommodation at 7am after about 25 min we started fishing. We only catched 2 small tuna (for bait) and 2 rainbowrunners. After this it took some time but the crew did everything to make us catch some real fish. In the last 45 minutes of the trip we managed to catch 11 mahi mahi's š. Captain Gordo booked a restaurant for us where they grilled a mahi mahi for us the next day, realy tasty. I'm very satisfied with the overal experience.
So if you want to fish on CuraƧao, Gordo and Coronel are the best!

Another action packed fishing trip!
When I visit CuraƧao there is one trip I canāt miss and thatās fishing with Captain Gordo and his mate Coronel on the Papucho!! This time was extra special because it has been over a year that I even touched a rod-and-reel. But with these guys I know they got my back and as always the gear and bait were well prepared and we all want to get out there fishing. Once I got on board they treated me to something called āPandushiāā¦ the best local sweet bread ever!! Awesome I really appreciated that!
One hour later while trolling I hear Gordo scream Blue!! Blue!! And out of the foaming prop wash a marlin charged and smashed my bait on the flat line and I immediately dropped back and hooked it up. Wow!! Coronel brought me a belt and then the fight beganā¦. We fought for approx 35 mins while Captain Gordo backed down chasing the fish for a mile or twoā¦. Excellent work by the Captain who knows these water like his backyard. Once I tipped Coronel helped me to release the fishā¦ wow what a day on the Caribbean sea! And it would not be Gordo if he didnāt offer me an ice cold Polar beer to quench my thirst after that great fight.
After the blue we trolled for a while and Captain Gordo showed me a fad where we hooked up a wahoo! He later told me it weighed 31 kgā¦ a beautiful fish!!
Man what an awesome day thanks Captain Gordo and Coronel, see you next time when Iām there!! Thank you for the great pictures and memories of my vacation on the island

My friends and I spent a full day on the water with the Fish Curacao crew and it was well worth it. The highlight of the trip was catching two Blue Marlin on a double hookup. Capt. Gordo told me he would get us on a Marlin and we raised our first one within 20 minutes.
We also caught wahoo, yellowfin tuna and dorado. Gordo and Koronel take fishing serious and it pays off. Agreat day with a great crew!

My favorite charter! Weāve fished with Captain Gordo and 1st Mate Koronel 3 times and would highly recommend them. The Hatteras is beautiful, the fishing gear is top notch, they use good bait and change it frequently, and they work hard to find and land the fish. Over the course of our 3 trips weāve caught huge/beautiful mahi, wahoo, skipjacks/amberjacks, 2 blue marlin, and 1 white marlin.

We had an amazing trip with Capt. Gordo for my birthday! Honestly, the best day of fishing in my life. We caught 950 lbs of yellowfin tuna with the catch of the day at 187 lbs. The boat was comfortable and Capt Gordo knew exactly where to find the fish! The Captain and his mate work hard all day to find the fish and help you reel them in. They also had all the food and refreshments we needed for the day.

We fished with Capt. Gordo and Koronel on the 20th of Dec. This trip was perfect from the start. Capt. Gordo arranged transportation, which was on time and perfect. The boat and crew were running on arrival and ready to go. The fishing gear was in great shape, and most importantly, they were there for us to have a great time. In our short trip, we hooked a sailfish and caught five tuna. Capt. Gordo and his crew are top notch and go out of their way to ensure you both catch fish and have fun. I have fished all over the world and this is hands down one of the best. If you are in Curacao and are looking for a charter, you can do no better than this. I assure you, when we return, we will be fishing with this outfit again. My highest reccomendation.

Picked up at 0730 at our resort. Lines went out almost immediately. Started with 2 small barracuda. We trolled all day. Weather was perfect. Then we finished strong. My husband and I took turns in the fighting chair, except when we had a double hook up on mahi and later in the day with the double hook up on yellow fin tuna. In between we had 3 more mahi and finished the day with yet another mahi.
I got to catch the large tuna, guesstimated at 60+ lbs. Itās the largest fish Iāve ever caught that wasnāt released. Definitely the toughest fight. There were a few times I wasnāt sure I could finish the fight, but the Captain and the mate just kept working with me and encouraging me. These 2 guys are a great team. This boat catches fish!!!
We will fish with them anytime we are in Curacao.
Highly recommend this team.

My family and I have been on two trips with Gordo and both were fantastic. On the second trip Gordo worked hard to put us on the fish as there was very little action for the first few hours. Then boom! Hit after hit including a 160# yellow fin that fought for about an hour. Great times. The downside is there may never be a better fishing trip. Shout out to first mate Cornell who my kids loved. We left each trip with enough fish for several delicious meals. We have a third trip planned in June and can't wait.

Captain Gordo and Koronel are simply the BEST! They are super knowledgeable and easy to fish with. We had one of the most amazing days of fishing Iāve ever had. They worked hard to put us on fish all day, we were able to catch 2 big Sailfish and hooked a 3rd! We also caught MahiMahi and Wahoo, at the end of the day they sent us with some fillets to eat as well and both kinds of fish were DELICIOUS! I canāt recommend these guys enough! if you ever visit Curacao you must fish with themā¦.
YOU WONāT BE DISAPPOINTED!
I canāt wait to come back and fish with them again!

Hi there, trying to pin point a time to visit next year for my husbands birthday. What is the best time of year for chances at a marlin? TIA
Written July 6, 2020
I would suggest calling or emailing a charter. We went in February and caught Wahoo and Tuna.

Hi, just wondering if you can fish for bonefish in this area?
Written October 13, 2016
Dear mrs Jenna,
Sorry for the late reply, but bonefishing is not common around here, in Bonaire there is a guide that does organize bone fishing trips

My wife and I have been e-mailing Capt. Gordo back and forth and we are strongly considering going on a trip with him. We will be in Willemstad for about 5 days, what have people done with the fish they catch? I understand Captain Gordo and his crew will filet the fish. Do you take it back to your hotel and cook it?
Written June 27, 2016
First let me just say Captain Gordo is a terrific choice for fishing! In our case we rented a private apartment that was equipped with a full kitchen so after they cleaned our fish we just took them back and cooked them ourselves. However, one time in the Dominican Republic my son caught a Mahi-Mahi and we walked right into the main restaurant and asked them if they would prepare it for us for dinner and they seemed very happy to do so and our fish was incredible! Perhaps just check directly with your hotel to see what options may be available to you. Enjoy your visit to Curacao.

We will be there on a cruise 1 day week of sept 18. How would the fishing be for 4 of us. Do you take people from cruise ships? Thanks
Written June 6, 2016
Good morning! Sorry for our late reply. Somehow we did not get a notification of your question.
Yes, we do take people from cruise ships. Depending on what time the ship docks we can arrange a pick up time. A half day fishing trip will cost you $600.- That's for 4 hours. Including drinks. If there is enough time you can also choose a full day trip for $900.-. It's a private trip, so only your party of 4.
If you have any other questions or if you want to book a trip, please send an e-mail. You can find the address on our website or on Facebook. We check that mail every day so you'll get a reply within a day or two.
Kind regards,
Nancy
