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.

Exceptional and unforgettable!!

5.00I’ve been on over 20 cruises and countless excursions, but this one was hands-down the most enjoyable, with the best service and the best value I’ve ever experienced.From the moment we stepped on board, everything was incredible. The food was outstanding — fresh tuna appetizers, perfectly cooked steaks, and delicious desserts — paired beautifully with wines and mixed drinks. The service was warm, friendly, and top-notch from start to finish. One of the most unique highlights was the underwater viewing from the sailboat, which was originally used by Jacques Cousteau. Being able to see marine life through the vessel’s special viewing windows while sailing was truly unforgettable.The snorkeling destination in Bonaire was world-class — easily one of the best I’ve ever seen.To say I highly recommend this excursion would be a massive understatement. It’s a perfect mix of relaxation, beauty, and unforgettable moments.Here’s what we enjoyed most:Savoring a refreshing signature cocktail and local snacks on board Relaxing on deck while enjoying a beautifully curated music playlist Watching a stunning sunset! I can’t say enough good things about it — truly exceptional!
Truly unique boating and snorkeling experience

5.00This is a great experience run by a family of father, daughter and boyfriend. They are extremely knowledgeable and have a unique boat that you won't find anywhere else. You can literally see all the reef life from the bottom of the boat in an air-conditioned chamber that was one used for marine biology by Jacques Cousteau. My family travels a lot and has done our share of activities, shore excursions from cruise ships, etc but this is one of the best. They even cooked burgers and fries for my kids while the adults ate sashimi grade tuna and steaks as the sun set.
10/10 - best night in Bonaire

5.00This was hands down the best night we had in Bonaire. After planning a full week of activities, including snorkeling and dinners, we decided to take one night off and booked the Aquaspace Sunset Dinner Cruise. It ended up being our favorite experience of the entire trip. The crew was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely fun to be around, which made the whole evening feel relaxed and effortless. The observation area is truly one of a kind. On top of that, the dinner was amazing and drinks were always flowing. It’s the perfect combination of everything you’d want: a boat cruise, a stunning sunset, great food, and the option to snorkel or swim, all wrapped into a few hours. I can’t recommend this enough. If you’re visiting Bonaire, don’t miss it.
They'll never take you away again! What an experience

5.00Great experience with personal atmosphere. Everyone has something special, and you want to know everything! Our daughter has also enjoyed intensely
Surpassed all expectations! They could not do enough for all of us- it was like a fine dining experience on a boat.

5.00I am gluten intolerant, that wasnt a problem. They even knew soy sauce has gluten in it. Snorkeling off the boat while my husband took a pic of me from the inside, we sailed around the island Klein to see all the fish and turtles was also a highlight. Very friendly & caring family runs this- they could not do enough for all of us.
Awesome Experience

5.00Just a Great Experience!! Peter, J and Sven, were awesome hosts! They provided us with the story of the Aqua Space Vessel, they were so kind and so easy to communicate with!! Drinks included Soda, Beer and other Liquors. We were provided an appetizer of fresh Tuna Sushi, followed by a delicious medium cooked Beef Tail Steak and finished with a Real Homemade Dutch Apple Pie, straight from Sven’s Netherlands Heritage!! I can’t give enough compliments for how tasty everything was! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Sunset Excursion!!
Beautiful sunset sail on Bonaire!

5.00What a terrific sunset cruise on a truly one of a kind boat! This is a family-run sailing trip, and it’s was such a special experience. Peter, his daughter J and her boyfriend Sven were gracious hosts and made my husband and I and fellow guests feel well cared for. The glass bottom boat once used for Jacques Cousteau underwater explorations was so cool and provided great views of Klein Bonaire reef! Then we went snorkeling at a lively spot, where we saw a turtle, a ray and a ton of brightly colored fish. Dinner was delicious- fresh-caught tuna, grilled steak and Dutch Apple Pie Sven baked using his grandmother’s recipe. Cold drinks were flowing, the perfect pairing for sunset. Highly recommend this experience!
Gorgeous afternoon on Aquaspace!

5.00My husband and I had had a terrific sunset cruise on this truly one of a kind boat! Captain Peter, his daughter J and her boyfriend Sven were such gracious hosts and made our small group feel at home on the sea. This glass bottom boat was so cool and gave us great views of Klein Bonaire reef without getting wet! We then had a beautiful snorkel and saw a turtle, a ray and a ton of brightly colored fish. Then we had a delicious dinner of fresh-caught tuna, grilled steak and Dutch Apple Pie Sven baked using his grandmother’s recipe. Yum! J served us ice-cold drinks during the trip, the perfect pairing for sunset. We would highly recommend this family-run, special experience!
Wonderful

5.00A wonderful experience! Careful staff and delicious food. From the boat to the tour, everything very good and of great quality.

5.00Peter, the captain and owner, is a character - a great storyteller who takes pride in relating his experiences acquiring and restoring this amazing vessel once used for research by Jacque Cousteau. What a thrill to view underwater sea creatures through the wall of windows in the bottom of the boat! Peter is a great grill master too! He and the crew prepared and served a fresh and delicious meal. The sublime apple pie for dessert was made from scratch by crewmember Sven. They strive to make sure guests have a great time, with Peter even trying to learn a little Portuguese from a sweet elderly lady who only spoke that language. I highly recommend this activity during your stay on Bonaire!
