- Richard’s Retreat - You’ll be sailing on a spacious traditional build wooden schooner!
On cruise ship days our trip is going to take you to a beautiful snorkeling spot on the north side of the island.
While sailing to the mooring spot you can enjoy the breathtaking views that Bonaire has to offer from one of our two decks and we will be serving you refreshing drinks from our open bar.
Once we moored we will give you instructions and provide you the snorkel gear.
For the ones that need it there are floating devices.
You’ll get the chance to snorkel/swim above an amazing coral reef with your favorite sea creatures, think about Angelfish, Parrotfish, Rays, Trumpetfish, Blue Tangs, Trunkfish, Damselfish and a big chance to see Turtles or even Dolphins passing by.
For the ones that are not going to snorkel/swim, we have a real bar on board where we will serve you soft drinks, mixed drinks, juices and some beer-and wines.
After all the water fun we will serve you delicious local meal prepared by the captain and his wife. After that there is time for some more fun. Enjoy on your way back to the cruise ship some of the greatest hits that will make you dance from bow to stern.

Lady Bellaïs represents a unique and exquisite ship found nowhere else in Bonaire. The vessel’s grandeur and space make it unparalleled amongst its competitors on the island. It can accommodate up to 114 people, but to prevent overcrowding, the trips are usually limited to 60-70 people. The business is family-owned and takes immense pride in their work.
The ship’s crew, composed of local natives, collectively bring more than 40 years of maritime experience. At least two guides are always present in the water to provide assistance and support, particularly benefiting beginning snorkelers or those who may feel uncertain.
The journey also presents a fantastic opportunity for those who don’t wish to snorkel as the sightseeing is exceptional, coupled with captivating stories from the crew. You’ll not only experience underwater exploration but will also witness a section of the astonishing Bonaire coastline.
The vessel boasts a genuine bar onboard, serving a variety of beverages that can be enjoyed anywhere on the ship, from the top deck, below deck, or even on the netting towards the boat’s bow. For your convenience, two separate restrooms are available on board.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
