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.

A fun and truly unique experience!

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!

5.00Looking for something unique. Then book this trip. The amount of passion that Peter and his enthusiastic daughter Jessica convey is amazing. We have seen 6 turtles and lots of fish. Nice stories heard from Peter. This man is such a great storyteller. We had a nice group of people on board from different countries. There was plenty to drink and delicious food with delicious homemade apple pie for dessert. We are glad to have made this trip on your unique boat.
What a fun and enjoyable trip!

5.00Peter, Jiske and Sven, thank you very much for this nice trip. The hospitality, the beautiful stories and the delicious dinner. It is fascinating to have heard how you have transformed this ship into what it is today with all your energy and passion. We hope to visit Bonaire again this year and then try to book the ostracods tour. @Jiske: you can start counting down to your next birthday;-)
Perfect afternoon! Thank you Peter and Jeska.

5.00This was the most beautiful tour I've ever experienced. Peter and Jeska welcomed me and the other 5 guests on the warmest. Peter told us a lot about the history of the boat. It is a very special boat and the observation underwater fascinating. There were ice-cold drinks, you could snorkel, swim, relax. The highlight was the dinner! Very good. Plus the personal and harmonious mood on the boat. Thank you very much!
Excellent experience - well worth the money

5.00Excellent experience. The Daughter/Father crew were very knowledgeable and accommodating. They were a comprehensive source of information on the area, the fish, turtles. They took us along the drop-off from the reef so accurately that we were able to see far more than by snorkeling, although that was also an option available. The 3 course dinner was outstanding both in quality and service and they were able to accommodate various dietary restrictions for some of the guests. The boat itself is unique with it's underwater viewing capsule, enabling guests to see the coral and fish very comfortably. Highly recommend this tour.
Best experience on the water

5.00I had a great time Peter the captain very nice guy joke maker and told a very interesting story about the ship, it is of course also a very special ship, so a story behind it was very nice jiske and Maria were also two yellow cozy ladies could chat well and provided the food and drinks. They also took into account that my girlfriend did not like fish, she therefore got a substitute for dish. The food is really good. Everyone on the ship actually just felt like a big family, it was huge fun everyone chatted with each other, with a nice drink. I want to thank the crew for the beautiful day I enjoyed it a lot and keep it up. Until the next one.
A unique snorkelling opportunity not to be missed

5.00Wow, what an unexpectedly wonderful experience! We thought this might just be snorkelling and dinner in the evening on a boat in Bonaire. But until you’re on the boat, don’t really appreciate how amazing the underwater viewing compartment is. To be able to sit comfortably in your dry clothes and see all the fish and coral the underwater sea life was really mesmerising. The crew worked incredibly hard and were impressively upbeat and friendly and helpful. The meal was surprisingly good for what I had expected to eat on a boat. Creative, and tasty. The boat had a small enough number of passengers that it was easy to have conversations. We really enjoyed meeting several of the other passengers. It was our last organized activity before we left the island and my wife and I both were raving about it the next day. If you are considering any sort of snorkelling trip in Bonaire, I highly recommend this one because it is incredibly unique compared to everything else I saw on Tripadvisor in this area
Great!

5.00Wow! What a fun experience. It was really fantastic. The crew on the boat was amazing! Super friendly and were always there for you. Whether you want a nice drink or just want to have a chat. They know a lot about the boat and the island. In addition, the food was also top! They even take it into account if you don't like fish. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
More than super!
