Bonaire boat rental
There is the Caribbean, and then there is the Dutch Caribbean; three special municipalities of the Netherlands are located in the Caribbean Sea. They consist of the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba. Often called the 'BES islands,' Kralendijk is Bonaire's capital with colorful architecture, good shopping, and museums. Off the coast lies Bonaire National Marine Park, with a coral reef home to an abundance of tropical fish. What better place to take your boat rental to explore on your Dutch Caribbean holiday.
The Marine Park stretches West to Klein Bonaire Island, where sandy beaches provide a nesting ground for amazing sea turtles. Enjoy the exotic wildlife and warm, friendly people on a holiday destination not to be missed. A treasure trove of activities is available on the water, including; sailing, kite surfing, windsurfing and snorkeling, and scuba diving. Sustainability is also important for the local authorities, and Bonaire has a long history of good work done for nature preservation. Bonaire was one of the first Caribbean islands to collaborate with the Coral Restoration Foundation (CRF) to conserve the reefs. A diver's paradise, so why not rent a boat from Bonaire and see for yourself!

Rent a boat for a day in Bonaire
From the shores of Bonaire to Klein Bonaire is only 800 metres so it won't take you all day to get there in your boat rental. If you try to swim, you will encounter currents and reef sharks, so don't take the risk, just rent a boat. On Klein Bonaire, No Name Beach is the most visited spot, but the reef has been affected by storms and high volumes of visitors. A better option is to sail around some of the more remote spots, where the reef is well preserved.
With over 55 species of soft and hard corals, and more than 350 fish species, your boat rental for a day will give you the chance to see hawksbills, loggerheads, and green sea turtles. Turtles are protected, and spearfishing is banned. All visitors to the Marine Park must purchase a 'nature tag' to contribute to Bonaire reefs' preservation. The only structures on the island are some ruins of slave huts dating back to the region's period of slavery; otherwise, the island has no running water or facilities. So after a peek, get back on board your boat rental and savour the hospitality and the coastline.
Rent a boat for the weekend in Bonaire
Flying to Bonaire will take you some time wherever you are arriving from, so why rush your holiday or your boat rental. Spending more than a day on the water will open up more time to relax or play with family and friends on or under the waves. Rent a boat or a catamaran, or even two or three, and race against your friends or colleagues in a flotilla. You can rent different boats and see which one goes the fastest! With a weekend on your hands for boat rental, sail along the Western Coastline of Bonaire and spend some time underwater. The West and East coasts of Bonaire have very different sea conditions.
The Western coastline is protected against the constant Eastern trade winds. It offers sheltered beaches and coral reefs, calm sea, crystal-clear water. This means that most of the snorkeling spots in Bonaire are located on the West side of the island, or in Klein Bonaire. The most popular spots on Bonaire's west coast are; Tori's Reef, Windsock, Bari Reef, Petries Pillar, 1000 Steps, and Karpata. Te Amo Beach, right in front of the airport, is highly recommended. The rough Eastern coastline is exposed to the trade winds, high waves, and strong currents, making it less suitable for snorkeling. Lac Bay is a big semi-enclosed bay on the East coast, hosting two snorkeling spots; Lac Bay with Sorobon Beach, a shallow lagoon sheltered by a barrier reef, and Lac Cai, a sheltered seagrass area where sea turtles come daily to feed.
