The experience

This is a private charter, so no other guests board with you. You decide whether to spend the morning snorkeling at Klein Bonaire, cruising the coastline, fishing, or anchoring at a quiet beach to swim and sunbathe. The guide is there to make it happen, not to dictate the route. Light snacks, water, soft drinks and beer or wine come with the booking, served at your own pace while background music plays.

The boat holds up to eight people comfortably, which means a family or a small group travels together without splitting up. Four hours is long enough to reach Klein Bonaire's reefs and spend real time in the water, but short enough to fit snorkeling into a half-day without eating the whole afternoon. Snorkeling equipment is provided. You bring a moderate level of fitness and the willingness to get wet.
