The Captain
My name is Arjen de Boer, born on May 2, 1964, in Loenen aan de Vecht, The Netherlands. With over 45 years of hands-on fishing experience across the globe, I’ve dedicated my life to the art, sport, and adventure of fishing.
I spent many years working as a mechanic and teacher in vehicle engineering in the Netherlands. But my true passion has always been fishing—especially competitive and international angling. Fishing has taken me to incredible places, taught me lifelong skills, and connected me with people from all walks of life.
For decades, I dreamed of turning that passion into a full-time profession. Finally, I decided to follow my heart—and that’s how The Fishing Dutchman was born.
Now based in the stunning city of Kralendijk, Bonaire, I offer customized guided fishing trips for anglers of all levels. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or it’s your first time casting a line, I tailor every trip to your preferences, ensuring a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience for the whole family.
Not interested in fishing but still want to explore Bonaire by boat? I also provide private boat tours around Bonaire’s breathtaking coastline, giving you a unique perspective of this Caribbean paradise from the sea.
