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.

This is the best adventure on the island of Bonaire. The boat and boat ride is amazing. The viewing underneath the surface of the water is a once in a lifetime experience. Peter and Sven take you to one of the best spots on the coast to snorkel and finish up with a wonderful sunset dinner. This excursion has it all and I will be back on this boat when I return to Bonaire.

Wow, what a great tour this is. Peter and Sven took us on their special catamaran and told us with enormous enthusiasm about project Aquaspace. Through the glass walls in one of the floats you feel like you are in an aquarium. The care is top notch. The inner man lacks nothing. The food is delicious and the final touch: coffee with homemade apple pie was, with us Dutch, certainly appreciated! Dear Peter and Sven, on a next visit to Bonaire, we will definitely get back on board.

What a great experience. Sailing, snorkeling and in the underwater ship through the glass sides you sit dry in the middle of the fish and turtles! In addition, the food for young and old is delicious and there is more than enough drink, all in one reasonable price! What a top sunset. Also the evening tour for ostracot was very surprising.

I’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!

This 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.

This 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.

I 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.
