Bonaire
Bonaire, an island municipality of the Netherlands, lies off Venezuela’s coast in the southern Caribbean. Its reef-lined coast is protected by Bonaire National Marine Park. Beyond its rich marine life, the island shelters lizards, donkeys and birds within its immense Washington Slagbaai National Park, marked by beaches, lagoons, caverns and desert-like hills.
Curaçao
Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island, is known for its beaches tucked into coves and its expansive coral reefs rich with marine life. The capital, Willemstad, has pastel-colored colonial architecture, floating Queen Emma Bridge and the sand-floored, 17th-century Mikvé Israel-Emanuel Synagogue. It’s also a gateway to western beaches like Blue Bay, a popular diving site.

You arrive in Bonaire where we sail, whether permitting, around the island Bonaire and in the bay. We will enjoy snorkeling with our full-face masks in crystal blue waters. Bonaire is an award-winning diving destination. The underwater paradise awaits you, with more than 350 fish species and 57 species of soft and stony coral.
Next stop is an overnight stay at the uninhabited island Klein (‘Little’) Curacao, 8 miles of the southeast coast of Curacao. There we find Curaçao’s longest and whitest beach. The only structures on the island are an old lighthouse, a beach house, and several huts. Klein Curaçao is well known as a beautiful diving-spot because of its coral and underwater caves. It’s easy to spot colorful fish and sea turtles when snorkeling.
Then we sail to Willemstad, where we berth at Curacao Marina in the center of the town, passing the famous Queen Emma ‘Pondjesbrug’ and the 60-meter-high Juliana Bridge.
The Queen Emma Bridge connects Punda to Otrabanda and is something you must see. It is the only floating bridge in the world. At night the bridge changes into a colorful scenery.
Punda and Otrabanda means ‘City’ and ‘The other side’.
Punda is more touristic: there are cafes, restaurants, general stores, souvenir shops, etc. and the overall architecture looks more modern and maintained.
A more authentic side of Curacao you find at Otrabanda. Please visit the fort at the waterside, named Rif Fort. It is today a historical building and one of the best places in town to have a dinner.
Another nice feature is the Handelskade, with some colorful buildings build in an ‘Amsterdam Grachten Huis’ style.
After two days we return to Bonaire, 25 miles beating the easterly winds. But that is also FUN!
