Amazing and Unforgettable Experience. Patrick and Linda are an amazing Team and were top notch.
Our Sailing, Scuba Diving and Snorkeling adventure was a wonderful time all around and they really took our needs into account.
I would love to sail with them again in the future and highly recommend these two if you are in Bonaire looking for a wonderful day.

Thanks to Patrick Verstegen and Linda Francke with SoloBon Sailing Bonaire, for giving us an absolutely breathtaking and enjoyable visit to Bonaire! They were the best captains and scuba guides anyone could ask for! And, from the first phone call we connected and will always treasure them as friends!
Their hospitality was beyond reproach and the word "no" does not appear in their vocabulary!
We had some of the best scuba dives of our lives and the sailing on the beautiful "Phoenix," complete with solar panels, was magnificent! They have tons of experience crossing the pacific ocean and have sailed over , 5500nm! We highly recommend them as 5 Star PLUS and hope to join them on another amazing voyage some time real soon!

Highly recommend Solobon for a sailing and snorkeling outing.
Patrick & Linda know the waters and dive spots! If you’ve never sailed before, this is the place to try it.
If you’re a long time sailor, this is the place to sit back and relax. We will be back!

We had the great luck of finding and booking SoloBon Sailing for a half day charter during a stop in Bonaire on a cruise. They were punctual and super friendly. We were able to customize what we wanted to do, and they made sure we had a great time. They took us to two fabulous snorkeling sites and found a pod of about 50 dolphins and allowed us to sail beside them for almost half an hour. They provided great snacks and drinks and made sure that we had a ride waiting for us at the marina to get us back to our ship with plenty of time to spare. I would highly recommend them if you are staying on the island or coming in on a cruise ship.
Reliability and quality are what we look are when we travel, and we got both with SoloBon Sailing.

Lovely sunset and full moon cruise / Highly recommended
This was my second sunset/full moon cruise with Solobon which should tell you something already about how much I enjoyed the experience. Despite high winds, the crew was able to sail through the whole cruise. It was a gentle and beautiful evening. We were served various beverages of our choosing mine was seltzer. The crew kept me when hydrated. Also, we were served delightful little snacks brie with sweet chili sauce in a wrap, chicken salad, and various bits of meat, cheeses, nuts, and olives. While the portions were appetizer sized, it still made for a decent meal. The crew even whipped together some treated on gluten-free crackers for my sister.
I hope to take another sunset/full moon cruise when I visit again next year.

Family Sail with Solobon 11/10
Our favorite boat trip we have ever been on while on Bonaire. This was our third trip to Bonaire but our first time sailing with Solobon - DEFINITELY not our last! Our family (myself, my husband and our 7 year old) were thoroughly impressed with the boat, the snorkel stop, the sunset, the snacks but most importantly the company of Patrick and Linda! Their knowledge of sailing, Bonaire, the guidance while snorkeling, etc. were all top notch. My son was especially excited to get a chance to take the wheel. We are already counting down until we can sail with Solobon again! Thank you for an amazing time!

One of the highlights of our vacation
We booked a cruise from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The booking process and payment went smoothly. There were plenty of parking spaces available at the harbor. We were warmly welcomed by Patrick right at the harbor.
When we arrived at the boat, Linda was already there waiting for us. The boat made a very well maintained and tidy impression. Shortly after boarding, we set off right away leaving the harbor and raising the sails. There was plenty of space on board, and drinks and snacks were served. The snorkeling spots were easy to reach, and we had the locations completely to ourselves on the water.
That made the experience even more special and unique. Linda knew exactly where to find which fish. She even went into the water with us and was able to tell us about all the different fish we saw. That was exactly what we had hoped for. Getting in and out of the water was easy as well. In between snorkeling, we enjoyed fresh fruit and the beautiful surroundings while sailing simply wonderful. This was definitely a highlight of our vacation on Bonaire.
We would absolutely recommend!

A great sailing experience in a lot of wind
We did a great sailing trip on the SOLOBON as a foursome on a very windy day (at times 34 knots). Experienced skippers Patrick and Linda made this morning a nice experience for us. Although I brought bananas on board 😉(probably bring bad luck according to an old superstition among sailors - but I didn't know) we had a good and safe tour in the fierce wind conditions.
And I wouldn’t have needed the banana snack 🍌 because Linda served delicious snacks and drinks in between. At Andrea 1 we found a relatively quiet snorkel stop and Linda accompanied us while snorkeling and was able to explain many fish to us.
For us, this was a perfect morning that we like to think back on. Thanks again to you two and we will gladly recommend your tours.

Amazing sunset cruise
We sailed with Linda and Patrick at the very end of December and had an amazing experience. Linda was a knowledgeable and fun guide to snorkel with. We enjoyed talking with both of them on the trip. They are amazing guides who made us feel so welcome. Their sailboat is beautiful and they provided us with endless drinks and yummy snacks. The sunset was breathtaking.
