Bon Sea Bonaire: a view beneath the waterline

Below the waterline, without getting wet

There is more to Bonaire than the view from the shore. With Bon Sea, your attention shifts to what happens beneath the surface. From a cabin with windows below the waterline, you can look into the sea without snorkelling or diving yourself.

Bon Sea is a semi-submarine: the boat stays at the surface rather than submerging completely. Its viewing cabin sits below the waterline and is air-conditioned. That combination makes it an interesting option to include in your holiday plans.

A different way to spend time on the water

Travelling with family or friends who do not all want to get into the sea? This is an idea to consider together. One person may already have diving plans, while another would prefer to watch the underwater world from a dry seat. Discuss what everyone hopes to get from the trip, then check with Bon Sea that the experience suits your group.

Leave room for surprises as you watch through the windows. The animals you see and the visibility depend on the conditions. Treat the photographs as an impression of the experience: every trip is different.

Practical details: departure and booking

Where does it depart?
Bon Sea lists Nautico Marina Pier, Kaya J.N.E. Craane 24 in Kralendijk as its departure address. Check your reservation for the exact meeting point and check-in time.

Tickets, times and duration
Check current availability and tickets with Bon Sea. Confirm the price, duration, inclusions and cancellation terms for the trip you choose.

Specific needs?
For questions about boarding, access to the cabin, young children or other practical requirements, contact Bon Sea before booking to discuss what is possible.

Make the day your own

Allow enough time around departure so that you can arrive without rushing. Keep the rest of the day flexible: spend a little longer by the water in Kralendijk, or head back to the villa to catch up with your travel companions. There is no need to fill every hour of your holiday.
