Welcome to another thrilling adventure on CuracaoTodo.com, your ultimate guide to the best activities and experiences on the beautiful island of Curaçao. Today, we dive into the exhilarating world of wahoo fishing, a must-try for fishing enthusiasts visiting our island.

The Wahoo: A Speedy Predator

What is a Wahoo?

The wahoo, locally known as “Mula,” is the second fastest fish in the world’s oceans, capable of reaching speeds up to 60 miles per hour. This ferocious predator can be recognized by its elongated body covered with small, scarcely visible scales. The wahoo’s back is an iridescent blue, while its sides are silvery with vertical blue bars that fade rapidly after death. These characteristics make the wahoo a striking and impressive catch.

Physical Characteristics

Wahoos can grow rapidly, with some specimens reaching up to 2.5 meters (8 feet) in length and weighing up to 83 kilograms (180 pounds). Their growth rate is astonishing; one tagged specimen grew from 5 kilograms (11 pounds) to 15 kilograms (33 pounds) in just one year. The wahoo’s large mouth and sharp jaws set it apart from similar species like the king or Spanish mackerel.

The Thrill of Wahoo Fishing in Curaçao

Why Wahoo Fishing?

Double or even triple hits from wahoo are common, causing absolute chaos on the deck and ensuring an unforgettable fishing adventure.

Best Time for Wahoo Fishing

While wahoo can be caught year-round, the best time for wahoo fishing in Curaçao is during December and January. During this period, the chances of catching these magnificent fish are at their peak.

Wahoo Fish Charters

What to Expect

Fast trolled tuna skirts or whole skipjack tunas are their favorite baits, increasing your chances of a successful catch.

Niels and Nestor were great guides on our first ocean fishing trip. We weren't the easiest guests. Late to start, beginners, some of us were seasick, etc. But they were accommodating to us in every way imaginable. We even had some great Mahi Mahi for lunch that we caught and brought back to our place! A great first time ocean fishing experience!
This was a great charter he kept me on the fish we found 2 schools of mahi and tuna. They were very professional from the start when i first was looking for a charter. They fish alot so they know where to go. I highly recommend.
If you are in Curacao and want to go deep sea fishing, I totally recommend Bar Four. Neils and his crew were amazing!
We did a 6hr private tour and caught 9 barracuda, 8 Mahi Mahi, and a 400 lb Blue Marlin. Since we caught a blue Marlin we got to fly the Blue Marlin flag 😃
What an amazing day for all of us.
Highly recommend!
Thank you Neils for an amazing day!
The boat trip was extraordinary. We did it in private. Captain Niels and Nestor the fishing specialist were super friendly and above all competent. (don't forget to ask them for the delicious sandwich with honey mustard sauce :-)
We took a six-hour tour passing through little Curacao with its splendid beach. We can highly recommend this tour.
A very big thank goes also to Annelies for her perfect organization. Once again thank you and see you next time

Niels and Nestor ran the fishing charter professionally and certainly met our expectations. A stop at Kleine Curacao was a beautiful break and to have some lunch. Two beautiful fish and bragging rights for a good fight with a sailfish and wahoo will add to our other fishing stories. The sailfish was really that big. The communication through Annalies also made the experience go smoothly, we look forward to our next fishing adventure.
Capt Gordo & Kolonel were the best! Highly recommend! Kolonel was amazingly fast with re-rigging lines, especially once we were over a spot where the fish were hitting. What a way to turn 50! And we brought some freshly filleted Mahi Mahi back to cook for dinner!
Highly recommend a fishing trip with Fish Curacao! Captain and crew make it a heck of an experience.

Snacks/drinks are provided. They do all the work with the bait/rods, but will answer any questions you have.

Fishing can be unpredictable, but we were lucky enough to catch 7 wahoo, 4 tuna and 1 barracuda in a 4 hour trip!
I went out fishing with Bar Four II several times November 2023. Captain Niels and deck hand Nestor, was one of the best crews I ever had after fishing around the world for over 35 years!
I caught 4 different species of tuna, barracuda, wahoo and a sailfish.
Boat and equipment was top notch.
And Captain Niels also told me he had ordered a new game chair with all the bells and whistles, including drink holders👍 I can highly recommend this outfit!
