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.

Hospitality, passion and history on the Aquaspace

5.00What a special experience sailing with the Aquaspace! Not only is the ship itself a unique piece of French heritage with a beautiful story, the people behind it also make this experience unforgettable. Father Peter, daughter Jiske and son-in-law Sven have restored the Aquaspace with tremendous passion and dedication — their soul and bliss are truly in every detail of the ship. During the trip we felt that love for the ship reflected in everything. Their enthusiasm, hospitality and personal attention made us feel immediately welcome. On top of that there was delicious cooking and we lacked nothing. The combination of history, atmosphere, personal stories and pure cordiality made this trip much more than just a boat trip. An absolute must for anyone who is attracted by unique experiences.
Highly recommended! For everyone, even if you don't like the sea!

5.00What an amazing experience! We went with a family of 10 people an afternoon with the Aquaspace and it was great! Contact in advance was fast and top! Reception was superb! The stories interesting and fun! Super food from the bbq; even specially taken into account a few dietary needs! We really enjoyed it! Highlight: the windows at the bottom of the boat! Great! Three people from our group are not a big fan of salt water and snorkeling and then this is the solution to still be able to enjoy the underwater world! Nice and dry, on a stool enjoying the fish, turtles and all the other beauty of the sea! We even saw a shark! Highly recommended if you come to Bonaire!
Highlight of our trip to Bonaire!

5.00Captain Peter and crew Sven and J made us feel comfortable right from the start. Introduced themselves, and let everyone know they should slow down and take their time. Great choice of drinks and excellent service! Great intro to the boat, what we were going to do. Captain Peter gave a detailed history of the Aquaspace. Very cool sailing along Klein Bonaire and seeing the shallow reef on 1 side and the drop off on the other from the observation hull. Never been on a boat like this! Snorkeling at Andrea 2 site was great. No rush. Drinks, appetizers and dinner were excellent! Best toilet I have ever seen on a sail boat! This was a highlight of our trip to Bonaire and makes us want to return. I encourage anyone coming here to do it. And do it early in your visit as you might want to go a second time. When we returned to the Eden Resort, good music and dancing and reasonable bar prices. Did I mention parking was close and easy to find. Make it 10 stars, not 5!
The best sunset sail ever!!

5.00We frequently visit Bonaire as it has become a second home. We always book a trip on the Aquaspace for so many reasons. Our young kids fell in love with the first trip and heavily request another trip months in advance of us visiting the island. Peter, Jiska, and Sven are just exceptional hosts and made us feel more like family and not clients from the very first trip. The drift along the island is an amazing way to see turtles, rays, fish, and all of the amazing underwater world Bonaire has to offer without having to be a diver. That being said the stop for dinner and snorkeling provides an excellent way to also get in the water and experience this amazing island. Food is off the charts good and the best dinner with a view we've ever had. Don't even think twice, if you are visiting Bonaire book this trip immediately after you book flights. We travel internationally with our kids a fair amount and nothing compares to the family that operates this boat and the experience you will have.
Wonderful!

The whole experience was great. The owners take pride in what they are doing & go above and beyond to make your adventure memora

5.00This 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.
Particularly beautiful Sunset tour with the Aquaspace

5.00Wow, 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.
