Questions before you book?

A private charter means your group gets the boat, crew, and schedule to yourselves. There are no strangers on board and no fixed group-tour pace. We shape the day around what you actually want: sailing, snorkeling, relaxing, food, sunset, diving, or celebrating.

Every charter includes a private captain and crew, our open bar (beer, white wine, rosé, rum, vodka, gin, sodas and water) and small bites served throughout. Snorkel charters include snorkel gear, floats and guided snorkeling with fish ID. Our water hammock, shaded cockpit and toilet on board are yours too. Dietary needs are no problem when you let us know in advance.

Absolutely. Every charter is private, so you choose the length, the pace and what you want to do. Add a BBQ, a tasting menu or a private chef, Cava or custom cocktails, a birthday cake, flowers, decorations or a photographer. Tell us what you have in mind when you request your charter and we confirm availability and pricing in advance.

Yes! Families are very welcome, and children under 2 sail free. We provide all the snorkel equipment and guidance, and we choose the snorkel spot based on the day's conditions and your group's comfort level. Tell us if anyone is nervous, new to snorkeling or has preferences, and we will keep the pace easy.

Of course. Join the guided snorkel, or stay on board with a drink, soak up the sun on deck or float in our water hammock. On our Sail & Dive charters, divers explore the reef while everyone else snorkels or relaxes, so nobody waits.

Of course. We love showing guests the ropes and always appreciate enthusiasm. Experienced sailor? Even better — you may be able to teach us a thing or two.

1 dive needs at least 4 hours, and 2 dives need at least 5 hours. If you would like to add a meal or BBQ on top of a dive, plan for at least one extra hour — 1 dive with a BBQ runs about 5 hours. Max 8 divers and up to 12 people on board in total; non-divers can snorkel or relax on board.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel if you plan to swim, sunglasses, a hat, swimwear, and a dry layer for after sunset sails. Shoes come off on board, so wear something easy to remove. Don't forget your STINAPA Nature Tag if you plan to go in the water.

We meet guests at Harbour Village Marina, Kaya Gobernador N. Debrot No. 71, Kralendijk. The boat is on A-dock at Slip 9. We will meet you at the gate and walk you to the boat. Open in Google Maps →

The Nature Tag is Bonaire’s marine park fee. Most visitors entering the water need one, and it helps protect Bonaire’s nature and marine park. You can buy it online before your charter and bring the QR code with you.

If you are on the island for a cruise stop, you do not need to buy a marine park tag for that day.

Safety comes first. If conditions are not suitable and we have to cancel, you choose between a full refund or a free reschedule to another date. We will let you know as early as possible.

Hopefully good wind and an even better day. When we set sail, the boat may heel, meaning it leans to one side a bit. That is normal. The keel is about 7 feet deep and weighs over 3 tons, which helps keep the boat stable. Expect a real sailing adventure and memories that last.

It's our deal for the perfect half-day sail: 4.5 hours for $895 for up to 6 guests (normally $945), plus $65 per extra guest. That's time for snorkeling, sailing and relaxing on deck without filling your whole day. Cruise guests with a longer port call can book it too.

A $250 down payment confirms your booking, paid by MCB bank transfer or Stripe (card, Apple Pay or iDEAL). The remaining balance is paid on the day of your charter. Prefer to settle everything at once? You are welcome to pay the full amount upfront.

Down payments (and full payments upfront) are paid by MCB bank transfer or online through Stripe: card, Apple Pay or iDEAL. The balance on the day can be paid by cash, MCB transfer or Stripe. MCB transfer and cash have no processing fee; Stripe payments include a 3.75% platform fee.
