All about renting a boat on Bonaire

Frequently asked questions about rules & regulations

Renting a boat on Bonaire for the first time, or just want to be well prepared on the water? These short articles and tips will make your day at sea a lot more relaxing.

Why do I need a STINAPA tag?

Because all waters around Bonaire fall under the Bonaire National Marine Park. The STINAPA tag is legally required and the proceeds are used to protect coral, fish and marine life.

Can I sail anywhere along the coast?

No. Stay out of the shallow, light-blue water and don’t sail between the yellow buoys and the shore. Use the yellow moorings to dock and keep your distance from reefs and dive sites.

Can I dive from my rental boat?

No. Scuba diving from a rental boat is not allowed. Snorkeling is fine, as long as everyone has a valid STINAPA tag and you respect the rules of the marine park.

Is the captain allowed to drink alcohol?

No. The person operating the boat stays completely sober for the entire trip. Alcohol and drugs are prohibited for the captain.

What do I do if the weather suddenly changes?

Head back toward Harbour Village Marina as quickly and safely as possible and sail calmly. When in doubt, call us for advice — we’ll help you make a safe choice.
