The catamaran eases out of Kralendijk harbor and the island shutters into a thin, sunlit line. Salt slicks off the deck and the wind gives a steady, conversational push; the captain lays out the simple rules and hands out welcome drinks as the mainland recedes. Within an hour the engine softens, the vessel anchors at one of the protected moorings between Bonaire and Klein Bonaire, and the reef becomes an invitation: blue-green water, fish that approach with the confidence of locals, and a living landscape full of color.

Arrive early to check in
Meet at the colorful tents on the left side of the port; staff in orange shirts will check your booking and help with last-minute gear.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding to protect coral and avoid needing re-application while in the water.
Bring a small dry bag
Store phones, a light towel, and any motion‑sickness meds in a compact dry bag for quick access on deck.
Mind the no‑shoe policy on deck
You may wear aqua shoes in the water, but shoes are generally not allowed aboard; bring slip-on footwear for the pier.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects coral and prevents sunburn in strong tropical sun.
Aqua shoes
Good for exiting onto shallow sand and protecting feet while snorkeling.
Polarized sunglasses and hat
Helps reduce glare on the water and makes spotting reef features from the boat easier.
Lightweight cover‑up or windbreaker
Useful for the sail back when the trade wind picks up and temperatures fall slightly.
