1. Sunset Sail with Blue Bay Bonaire

There’s something timelessly romantic about sailing into the horizon as the sky melts into shades of pink, orange, and gold. Blue Bay Bonaire’s Sunset Sail is designed for couples seeking intimacy, peace, and beauty.



Relax on a comfortable sailing yacht with shaded seating, sip chilled wine or sparkling water, and listen to the soothing rhythm of the waves. With a small group size and an unhurried pace, the experience feels like a floating postcard. Whether you're celebrating your honeymoon or just making memories, this is the kind of moment that lasts a lifetime.

2. Private Sailing Charter: Just the two of You

For couples who want to write their own story at sea, a private sailing charter is the perfect choice. With the boat all to yourselves and an experienced captain at the helm, you have the freedom to explore the island’s coastline as you please.


Snorkel hand-in-hand above vibrant reefs. Anchor near Klein Bonaire for a beachside picnic. Watch flying fish dance across the water. From calm conversations to shared silences, this charter is less about the destination and more about the journey you take together.

3. Snorkeling Adventures

Share a World Beneath the Surface

Bonaire is renowned worldwide for its clear visibility and vibrant coral reefs. Snorkeling Bonaire is not just an activity, it’s a shared discovery.


Imagine floating side-by-side above a colorful underwater world, spotting sea turtles, parrotfish, and coral gardens. Some of the island’s best snorkeling spots, like No Name Beach are only reachable by boat. That makes a day on the water with Blue Bay Bonaire even more special for couples who crave both adventure and connection.

4. Dinner by the Sea

After your day on the water, treat yourselves to a romantic dinner along Bonaire’s serene waterfront. Choose one of the island’s oceanfront restaurants where candlelight reflects on your wine glasses and the Caribbean breeze keeps the moment alive.



Whether you prefer grilled lobster or vegetarian Caribbean fusion, the setting is always the same: stunning views, ambient lighting, and the sound of waves.

5. Explore Klein Bonaire by Boat

Klein Bonaire is an uninhabited island just a short boat ride from the mainland. It's a favorite among couples looking to escape the world and enjoy unspoiled beauty.


With Boat Rental Bonaire services from Blue Bay, you can take one of our colorful sloops (orange, blue, or yellow) and cruise at your own pace. Anchor off the beach, take a swim, or walk hand-in-hand along the white sand. It's the kind of place where time slows down and love stands still.

Pro Tip: Wakeboarding & Tubing

Romance doesn’t always have to be slow and quiet, sometimes, it’s about laughing until your stomach hurts and holding on tight (literally).


For adventurous couples, wakeboarding or tubing on Bonaire behind our powerful motorboat, Betty Boop, is the perfect way to turn up the energy on your romantic getaway.
