No better way to experience Bonaire! - We (3 couples) met Julia at the entrance to the marina at 9:30am, as instructed in her very helpful emails, and after a short tour of the boat, we were off on our half day charter with Captain James.
It was sprinkling a bit, but the adorable Leo fed us breakfast while we waited for the rain to pass. Delicious! He fed us all day, so come hungry! What a treat to eat meals and snacks prepared by a real foodie. Wish we would have had time to get to know him better. Hasta la proxima aventura, amigo! Gracias por el pastel de cumpleanos, tambien.
Julia, James and Leo went above and beyond to make our experience all day. Examples: Asking our food and drink preferences ahead of time (and finding actual Diet Coke!), providing Fat Boys to lounge on, and towels and sunscreen, diving down and pointing out sea creatures on snorkels, rescuing me with the boat when I was getting seasick, selecting music just for us, just to name some. Thank you!
Bonaire is a special place. It has a rustic beauty, incredible scenery, and a chill vibe that is impossible not to love. Do yourself a favor and enjoy it on Life@8Knots' catamaran.
PS Harbour Village provides free private parking just across the street from the marina, which we really appreciated after taking other tours leaving from other marinas, which had us scrambling to find parking.

Must Do! - Amazing crew! The food served was delicious and the hospitality was incredible. Super friendly! The snorkeling was great and they even helped us spot dolphins we got to snorkel with. The boat was super nice and clean. 10/10 recommend.

Best way to spend the day in Bonaire! - We were a group of 4 couples celebrating an anniversary. Captain James and Julia went above and beyond. We toured the island, snorkeled off Klein Bonaire, and enjoyed the tacocat lunch. We added an additional hour to our trip also. The catamaran was wonderful, with the best spot being at the front of the boat. We learned a lot about the island from Captain James. Julia was quick to respond to all of my messages and emails. If you are looking for a private tour for your small group, this is the one to take.

Extremely fun and relaxing family experience - We had the best time on the boat! James and Julia are extremely friendly and accommodating, and Leo made us the best food! We had a blast snorkeling and relaxing as a family. James and Julia, along with Leo, helped us celebrate my husband's 50th birthday with a special dessert. We can't wait to do it again one day!

The perfect sunset and star gazing. - This was the highlight of our trip. It was my two daughters 17 and 16, my wife and me. The trip started out with a smooth ride over to Klein and we did a snorkel for about 40 minutes there. The site was unbelievable. Definitely one of our best snorkel sites that we’ve been to in the last 10 years of my girls’ snorkeling adventures.
Then we went over near 1,000 steps and looked at the homes. They had plenty of drinks and snacks for us and our conversations with them were excellent. We felt like we’re on a friends boat. Then came dinner as the sunset began and that was a great experience. The enchiladas were so good with the special spicy condiment that was home made. Played some perfect music during dinner and more conversation.
The best part was the ride home. We sailed back to the harbor under the stars. They gave us blankets to use for the front of the boat and we just gazed all the way home. It was easily the coolest boat experience we had as a family.
I really can’t say enough how much we enjoyed the afternoon and night on this trip. Thank you for a great memory for our family!!
