Step off your hotel and onto the deck of a Caribbean sailing yacht for the quintessential Bonaire morning. Trade-wind sails carry you across the channel to Klein Bonaire β€” a tiny, uninhabited islet ringed by powder-white sand and some of the clearest water in the Dutch Caribbean. Anchor up, dive in, and explore vibrant coral reefs teeming with parrotfish, eagle rays and the famous Klein Bonaire sea turtles. Swim ashore for a barefoot beach break, then sail home with the music up and the rum poured.

"Absolutely magical morning. The crew were brilliant, we saw three sea turtles, and the rum punch on the sail back was the cherry on top. Hotel pickup was on time and easy."

"Did this on our cruise day. Pickup was perfect, we were back at the ship with hours to spare. Reef was unreal β€” saw a giant ray. Way better than the cruise-line excursion at half the price."

"Great tour, beautiful spots, friendly captain. Only thing β€” boat was at full capacity that day so it felt a little tight near the back. Would still book again."

Frequently asked

Do I need to be a good swimmer?+

Comfortable in open water is enough. Life vests and floats are available, and you can always stay onboard with a drink while the others snorkel.

Is this tour suitable for kids?+

Yes β€” children from 4 years are welcome. Kid-sized snorkel gear and life vests are provided, and the catamaran is wide and stable.

What if the weather is bad?+

Bonaire is outside the hurricane belt and we sail year-round. Only in rare strong-wind conditions do we cancel β€” in which case you'll be offered a reschedule or full refund.

I'm on a cruise β€” can I make it back to the ship?+

Yes. The morning sail finishes at 13:00 with a quick drop-off, well before any cruise-ship sail-away. If your ship is delayed or skips Bonaire, you get a full refund β€” just send us your itinerary change.

Can I bring my own snorkel gear?+

Absolutely. We provide quality gear, but you're welcome to bring your own mask, fins or wetsuit.
