Friday booze cruise Bonaire: DJ, drinks & sunset

Dance on the water as Bonaire's coastline slides past at sunset

An 80-foot Brazilian wooden schooner hosts Bonaire's Friday night booze cruise, where you dance, drink and watch the sunset from the water while a live DJ plays every other week. The boat leaves for a 2.5-hour run along the coast with a small bite included. Drinks are available for purchase on board. Guides speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch.

The experience

The 80-foot schooner leaves the dock Friday evenings and heads out along Bonaire's coastline for 2.5 hours of music, drinks and open water. A live DJ takes over every other Friday, but the boat runs weekly regardless. You get the same relaxed social vibe, the same sunset views and the same $10 entry price either way. A small bite keeps you going through the evening. Everything else you want to drink is available for purchase on board.

This is a social cruise built around meeting people and starting the weekend without a plan. The wooden hull and open deck mean you're not watching the water through glass. You're on it, feeling the breeze and the motion. The guide speaks your language (English, Spanish, Portuguese or Dutch), so the commentary and the energy flow naturally. Families with infants can bring a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome.

What’s included

• A small bite to keep you going.
• live guide commentary in English, Spanish, Portuguese or Dutch.
• access to the open deck and the water views for the full 2.5-hour cruise.
