What To Expect
Your adventure begins with a relaxing cruise to Klein Bonaire, where you'll descend into our air-conditioned underwater observation deck. From here, you’ll have the chance to look at the incredible underwater world of Bonaire. This is the same type of experience that Jacques Cousteau once had aboard our boat during his many explorations of the world's oceans. Although he never visited Bonaire, our boat and observation deck were part of his research, and you’ll be able to experience the same stunning views of the ocean as he did. Afterward, you'll continue your journey with drinks and snacks while we sail to a peaceful mooring. Here, you can snorkel or swim in the crystal-clear waters—don't worry, all the equipment you need is provided onboard. If you’d rather stay dry, you can always return to the observation deck and watch the snorkelers explore the vibrant underwater life. As you enjoy the sights and activities, our crew will prepare a delicious three-course dinner. Once you've finished your meal, we’ll set sail again and head back to the starting point, wrapping up an unforgettable day on the water.

The Highlight of our Bonaire Holiday

5.00Our evening aboard Aquaspace was nothing short of magical—a once‑in‑a‑lifetime sailing experience in Bonaire that I would recommend to any traveler seeking something truly unique and memorable. Aquaspace itself is extraordinary. Designed by renowned French architect, the vessel was originally built for whale observation. Its thick glass bottom allows for stunning underwater viewing, offering a fascinating and completely dry way to admire Bonaire’s coral reef and marine life. Watching vibrant fish glide beneath our feet was a highlight on its own. We sailed with four other parties of various ages—from young children to adults—and even as the oldest couple on board (mid‑50s), we felt perfectly at home. The boat is spacious enough to enjoy quiet moments alone or mingle with fellow guests, depending on your mood. What truly elevated the experience were our hosts: the captain and his daughter. Their warmth, joy, and genuine hospitality made us feel like honored guests. The captain shared the history of the boat with pride and humor, making the journey even more special. After sailing a bit, we moored near the shore of Bonaire for snorkeling. I felt like I was actually swimming among the fish—an unforgettable moment. For guests who preferred not to swim or snorkel too much like my husband, relaxing on the boat with beautiful views was equally enjoyable. Dinner was a standout feature: a home‑cooked meal that could rival any foodie spot on the island, complete with delicious family-made dessert. There were plenty of beverage options and snacks throughout the evening. We never once felt rushed; in fact, our tour stretched well past sunset, giving us time to savor every moment. There are many sail, snorkel, and dinner excursions in Bonaire, but this one is truly exceptional. It stands out among all the travel experiences I’ve had. I know I will carry the memory of this evening with me for years to come.

5.00What a unique experience! Peter and Jiske are welcoming hosts who arranged a fantastic tour for us. Everything was perfectly organized down to the smallest detail. We enjoyed great food and drinks, went snorkeling, and of course spent time in the cabin from where we could watch the underwater life. And finally, we enjoyed the beautiful sunset before heading back. Worth every penny. Thanks a lot!
Wonderful Afternoon & Evening Above & Below the Water.

5.00This is a must do on Bonaire. Peter & his Daughter, Jiska, run a great operation and make the whole trip fun from start to finish. There were 8 of us and we rented the whole boat and had a great time. Peter's overview of the work done to restore the boat to its current form was great to hear as you gain a great perspective on this family passion project. We then ran along the reef surrounding Klein Bonaire and saw tons of marine life. This was followed by some wonderful snorkeling and then a first class dinner that rivals anything on land...all cooked and served by Peter & Jiska...with terrific apple pie to follow made my Sven (sp?), Jiska's partner. It was a four hour adventure on a beautiful afternoon/evening with a sunset to match the fun that preceded. Well worth the time and money. All the best to this wonderful duo.
This is one of the best...

5.00This is one of the best excursions we have ever taken. This is such a unique boat and the family that restored it is also the crew! The food for dinner was of gourmet quality and the presentation was perfect! We saw some beautiful fish and turtles. They are professional, friendly, helpful and attentive. We would definitely do this again!
Unique boat, great experience.
