Planning a day on Bonaire’s waters? This Deluxe Full Day Private Charter offers a personalized, flexible experience that puts you in control — perfect for those craving an intimate, luxurious escape. Whether you’re after snorkeling among vibrant coral, relaxing on deck, or trying activities like fishing or wakeboarding, this tour is designed to fit your wishes.
Two aspects we particularly love are the complete customization — you’re the boss of your itinerary — and the peaceful exclusivity of having just your group on board. But, keep in mind, the price of $695 per group might seem steep for some, especially if you’re traveling solo or as a couple, but for up to 8 people, it’s a generous value considering the privacy and tailored experience.
This tour suits travelers who want a private, relaxed day without the bustle of larger group tours. It’s ideal for families, groups of friends, or couples celebrating a special occasion who appreciate personalized service and the chance to explore Bonaire’s stunning coastlines on their own terms.

Introduction: Why Consider a Private Bonaire Boat Tour?

If you’re dreaming of a day at sea where you call the shots, this Deluxe Full Day Private Charter might be your best bet. It’s a chance to create your perfect water-based adventure, whether that means exploring coral reefs, lounging in the sun, or trying out fun water sports. The boat is yours, with no other guests to share the scenic views or the snacks. That kind of exclusivity really turns a trip into a memorable experience.
What we love about this tour is its flexibility — you can choose what you want to do, and the crew ensures everything runs smoothly. Plus, the stop at Klein Bonaire is a highlight—the island’s pristine beaches and clear waters make it a special spot for snorkeling or simply soaking up the tranquility. The tour is perfect for those who crave a personalized day on the water and aren’t interested in large, crowded group excursions.

What Makes This Tour Stand Out?

The key appeal is the personalized approach. You decide what activities to include, from relaxed sunbathing to adrenaline-pumping wakeboarding. The boat’s spacious deck, combined with the amenities — snacks, drinks, and snorkeling gear — make for a comfortable, hassle-free day.
The stop at Klein Bonaire arguably makes this tour worth the price. Known for its unspoiled beaches and crystal-clear waters, Klein Bonaire offers some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean. We loved the way the crew provides tips and gear, making it accessible for all levels of snorkelers. The chance to spot sea turtles and colorful schools of fish makes it a genuine highlight.
The quiet, exclusive nature of this tour appeals to those looking to escape the crowds. With only your group on board, you can relax, swim, or explore at your own pace, enjoying the beautiful scenery without interruptions.
Detailed Breakdown of the Itinerary

Starting Point in Kralendijk
Your day kicks off at the Harbour Village Marina promptly at 9:00 am. The meeting point is easy to access and close to many Bonaire accommodations. The boat itself is private, so from the outset, the focus is on your group’s comfort.
Flexible Water Activities
Once underway, you can choose how to spend your day. The crew is ready to help you craft the perfect itinerary. Want to snorkel?

Those options are available at extra cost — just ask, and they’ll set it up.
The Highlight: Klein Bonaire
The boat makes a one-hour stop at Klein Bonaire, a true gem for nature lovers. This tiny island boasts pearl-white beaches and crystal waters teeming with marine life. The experience here is unhurried; you can snorkel, sunbathe, or take a stroll along the shoreline. According to reviews, your crew will have snorkeling gear ready and be eager to share tips for spotting sea turtles or the best snorkeling spots.
Authentic travelers have described Klein Bonaire as “beautiful and peaceful,” noting that this stop feels like a private paradise. The soft sand and clear waters make it an ideal backdrop for memorable photos or just unwinding in nature’s lap.

Price and Value Consideration
