Life does not get any better than this! - Life at 8 Knots - an experience that will leave your wife and kids basking in perpetual adoration for your impeccable taste in leisure pursuits. Service great. Cuisine even greater. Oh, but wait—there's more! Gliding through the clear deep blue waters of Bonaire at a majestic 8 knots, you'll find yourself pondering, "Is this it? Have I, at last, reached the zenith of existence?" To this I must say “Yes, yes you have... ”. Best wishes from Camilla, Kaya, Tilde, and Rune 🌊✨

Best day of our vacation! - We joined up with four other passengers from our cruise ship to book this private charter with James and Julia. I cannot rave enough about the experience! James and Julia were such knowledgeable and generous hosts. So many nice amenities were provided on their boat, right down to the reef safe sunscreen. The snorkel gear fit well, the shower and towels were a nice touch, and the meal they prepared for us while we snorkeled was amazing. Their familiarity with the area led us to a couple of excellent snorkeling spots we had all to ourselves. The coral was colorful, the fish were everywhere, and the water was so clear and beautiful. I would book them again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic private catamaran tour!’n - Linda and Patrick were excellent hosts and planned out trip based on what we wanted to see and due. Linda was a great snorkeling partner and made great snacks during our trip. I really liked the small plate options verses a full meal. Patrick was a great tour guide. He answered all my questions, and I had a lot. We would highly recommend Linda and Patrick Private Catamaran Charter in Bonaire. They exceeded all our expectations. Judi Stimson and Bill Myers

The Lost Cat - We cannot say enough about our trip on The Lost Cat. Captain James and Stephanie were absolutely amazing hosts. They truly put their heart and souls into what they do and it is felt. You should be aware…Captain James can feel the weather. 😃 We heard it rained on all other excursions that day….we never saw rain. Captain James kept us ahead of the rain our entire trip. We were taken to 3 amazing, but very different spots to snorkel. We have great photos and amazing video. Even saw 2 octopi!! The boat was very clean and well maintained. Snacks were great. Drinks were as well. Above all, they truly made us feel welcome and as if they’ve known us forever. We have 3 girls, ages 11, 7, & 6. They were so kind and caring with the kids. It took our 11 & 7 year old 3 minutes in the water with Stephanie and they were completely confident in their ability to snorkel on their own. It was wonderful. Our 6 year old was terrified to go in the water. Stephanie spent the time and had the patience to get her in the water. By the end of the trip, we could not get her out of the ocean! As a mom, this is amazing to see. I was also hesitant to get in the water. And just like with the 6 year old, Stephanie took her time and had the patience to even get me in the water! I have been on numerous snorkel trips over the years (was just a spectator from the boats), but this was the first time I actually went in the water and saw fish! When we talk about our trip, we affectionately refer to Stephanie as “Aunt Steph”. ❤️ The only regret we have with our trip is that we booked the half day instead of the whole day. This was by far the highlight of our trip. They will absolutely be the first thing we book on our next visit to Bonaire. You will not regret booking The Lost Cat!

Catamaran sail and snorkeling - Julia,James, and crew were so friendly and accommodating. We stopped at two places for snorkeling. The lunch, snacks, and drinks provided were great. I would definitely recommend them.

Best day ever - Can I be brutally honest here? You don’t want to miss spending a day on this catamaran with an amazing couple who treats you like a king and queen. The lunch they cooked was absolutely amazing, better than any restaurant I would ever go to. They are now friends, and we will be back to do more tours with them. A must must!

Absolutely fantastic day - Absolutely fantastic, the hospitality, the food and the boat was number 1 This was a great aventure with my family and my 2 grandkids Miss Julia, Stephanie’s and Capitaine Jame made us feel at home on that beautiful catamaran Not to mention that we swan with dauphin 🐬 Definitely 💯 and will do it again Thank Life at 8 knots

A great day in Bonaire! - What an amazing day! Everything was perfectly catered to our preferences. Julia and James were wonderful. We had great snorkeling spots. Lunch was yummy. They were so kind to my 83 year old mom and she had a great day too. She loved swimming and floating in the hammock chairs in the water on the back of the catamaran. I so appreciate our trip and would highly recommend Life at 8 knots without any concerns!

Wonderful experience on Bonaire waters. - We chartered for the entire day with friends and family and the experience was fantastic! Julia and James are wonderful hosts. It was a fantastic combination of great sailing, food, drinks, company and I can speak for the entire group that we would recommend it to anyone. Our friends had never been on a sailboat before and they loved it!

An Amazing Sailing Trip! - I cannot speak highly enough of this trip. The crew provided an excellent experience with a smooth ride, delicious snacks, beverages, and a delightful lunch. There was ample space for everyone to relax and make the most of our day on the water. The snorkeling experience was truly phenomenal! We visited two different spots with crystal-clear waters and breathtaking sights. Stephanie went above and beyond, providing insights and fascinating facts about the marine life we encountered. The crew exhibited remarkable patience, especially with our children during snorkeling. Our youngest was initially nervous, but they were incredibly understanding and helped him relax, ensuring he had a wonderful time exploring the reef. If we have the opportunity to return, I will choose this company again! I'm particularly intrigued by their dinner cruise with a chef, which, unfortunately, we didn't have time to enjoy on this occasion.
