The experience

The boat is yours alone for six hours. You and your group decide the day: snorkel in the crystal-clear waters around Klein Bonaire where sea turtles and schools of fish move through coral formations, or cruise the coastline at whatever pace suits you. Fishing, diving, wakeboarding and towing an inflatable behind the boat are all possible if you want them: each adds to the cost. The crew handles navigation and the details. You handle the itinerary.

Klein Bonaire is the main stop, an unspoiled island with pearl-white beaches and turquoise water where snorkeling gear waits on deck. The moment you step ashore, the sand is soft and the reef is close. You might spot a sea turtle while swimming, or you can simply soak up the sun and swim at your own pace. The crew brings cold drinks and snorkeling tips. They're ready to help you make the most of it or to leave you alone, depending on what you want.

Onboard throughout the day: snorkeling equipment, light snacks, water, soft drinks and beer or wine. A spacious cooler keeps everything cold. Life jackets are available. The boat itself is well-insulated and spacious, with deck space for sunbathing and a sound system playing background music. A live guide speaks English and Dutch.
