OVERVIEW

Step aboard a sleek 45-foot electric-powered catamaran and glide almost noiselessly across Bonaire's dazzling turquoise waters toward the pristine shores of Klein Bonaire — a completely uninhabited island surrounded by some of the Caribbean's most spectacular coral reefs. Powered entirely by clean electric engines, this eco-friendly vessel offers a smooth, quiet and guilt-free way to explore the Bonaire National Marine Park, a pristine underwater paradise sprawling over thousands of acres of protected coral reef. Your adventure includes two spectacular snorkel stops, each offering a unique underwater experience. At the first, join your guide for a relaxed drift snorkel over vibrant coral formations teeming with an extraordinary diversity of marine life. Hundreds of fish species inhabit these crystal-clear waters — keep your eyes open for neon-colored parrotfish, angelfish, trumpetfish and marbled grouper gliding gracefully among the coral. With a little luck, you may even spot a green sea turtle serenely swimming by. The captain selects the second snorkel spot based on water and wind conditions, ensuring the best possible experience — and a completely different array of species awaits. At the second stop, the choice is entirely yours — snorkel independently, float lazily on the onboard floating mat or cool off on the waterslide for a splash of pure Caribbean fun. Prefer to stay on board? Unwind in one of the shaded seating areas and soak up the stunning ocean views. After all water activities have concluded, kick back with a refreshing drink from the open bar as the electric engines quietly carry you back along Bonaire's stunning coastline — relaxed, recharged and thoroughly happy.
