Why rent a boat from Bonaire Boat Rentals?

Freedom - you set the pace

Sail yourself to Klein Bonaire, moor at a yellow buoy and enjoy your own piece of paradise. You choose where you go and how long you stay - exactly how you envision your day on the water.

Perfect for snorkeling and relaxing

With a private boat, you'll get to snorkeling spots on Bonaire that you can hardly reach from shore. Jump into the clear water, spot turtles and then enjoy yourself back on the boat.

Boat rental Bonaire without a license

Most of our boats can be sailed without a license. A clear explanation of boating instructions, safety and the rules of the Bonaire Marine Park will be given to you on the spot so you can leave with peace of mind.

Safe and sound

Life jackets on board, explanations of the sailing rules, a map of the coastline and clear information about STINAPA tag (from 13 years of age), fuel and weather. This is how you get out on the water safely and worry-free.
