Private Boat Charter on Bonaire

The whole yacht. Your afternoon.

There is chartering a boat, and there is having the Compass to yourselves: a 14-metre Bavaria C46 that crossed the Atlantic to get here, a professional crew, and four hours of Bonaire's leeward coast arranged entirely around your party. No strangers aboard, no fixed script — the boat follows your day.

The standard Private Sail departs Plaza Resort Marina at 3:00 PM and carries up to ten guests. We sail while the light softens, drop anchor where the view is best — often facing Klein Bonaire — and serve a real dinner on deck: Bonaire fish, citrus from local groves, wines from Spain and the south of France. You dock again after sunset, fed and salted and slightly reluctant to leave.

Made for occasions

Most of our private charters mark something: a proposal (we're practised accomplices), an anniversary, a milestone birthday, a family reunited on holiday, a small team that deserves better than a conference room. Tell us the occasion and we tailor the route, the timing and the table to it.

Straightforward pricing

Just the two of you and a smaller budget? The shared sunset aperitivo cruise from $99 per person delivers the same golden hour. Or see all boat trips on Bonaire compared.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How many guests can join a private charter?
Up to ten guests, with the full crew included. At $1,800 for the whole yacht, a full group works out at $180 per person — for four private hours on a 14-metre yacht with dinner served at anchor.
Can we choose the route and the menu?
Yes — that's the point. Tell us what you have in mind and we build it: anchored off Klein Bonaire, sailing the leeward coast, a swim stop, a particular wine, a dietary wish. The dinner is prepared in our marina kitchen; allergies and preferences just need 24 hours' notice.
Is this a good setting for a proposal?
It's arguably the best one on the island: a private deck, the sun setting behind Klein Bonaire, and a crew that knows exactly when to be invisible. Tell us the plan in confidence and we'll choreograph the moment — the timing, the spot, the glasses ready.
Can we charter for longer, or for a special itinerary?
The standard charter is four hours departing at 3:00 PM — afternoon into sunset. For longer sails, morning charters or something more ambitious, contact us at info@compassbonaire.com or +599 786 3733 and we'll shape it together.
