I booked a private sailing/snorkeling trip on the Solobon sailing boat last Thursday together with my 16 year old daughter.
It was absolutely amazing and would highly recommend. Patrick and Linda are super sweet hosts. Linda joined us in our snorkeling adventures.
She was able to tell us a lot about the fish and other sea animals that we saw and als spotted animals we would have missed otherwise!
The boat itself is perfect and seeing the Bonaire island from the sea is just very beautiful. We had good wind and were able to sail most of the trip.
We were on the look out for turtles. Which we did not see but got a massive bonus with a whole group of dolphins swimming next to our boat.
Patrick and Linda extended our half day tour with an additional 30-45 min to sail along the dolphins for a while. This was a truly amazing and fun experience!! Bites and drinks on the boat are super.
Marina village is easy to reach and has ample parking options. 10 out of 10!

We had the absolute pleasure of sailing with Patrick and Lisa on their beautiful sailboat, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Bonaire! This was a last-minute reservation, and Patrick was incredibly accommodating communicating promptly via WhatsApp so we felt fully prepared and informed every step of the way.
From the moment we stepped on board, it was clear we were in excellent hands. Patrick and Lisa were amazing as captain and co-captain, sailing us to some of the most breathtaking snorkeling spots we've ever experienced. The water was crystal clear, and the marine life was vibrant and abundant.
The sailboat itself was immaculate clean, spacious, and equipped with a surprisingly spotless and comfortable bathroom below deck. Drinks flowed freely, and the mango juice with rum was a delicious tropical treat we couldn’t get enough of!
The attention to detail didn’t stop there. We were served delicious snacks, including brie and herb wraps in tortillas and chilled fruit kabobs that hit the spot after hours of snorkeling. Every aspect of the experience felt thoughtfully curated and genuinely hospitable.
Thank you, Patrick and Lisa, for giving us a day we’ll never forget.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bonaire looking for an unforgettable sail and snorkel adventure! And it was so much fun to get to waive to from shore during your sunset cruise.

Stop scrolling! If you are going to Bonaire, book this charter!..
Let me begin by saying I normally don't write reviews, so this may be a bit wonky. But we just returned from an ABC cruise in which we chartered this for a half-day snorkel and sail charter while in Bonaire and it was easily the highlight of our entire trip!
The trip from the port to the marina is extremely easy, and you are met at the gate by the Captain of the vessel. We then spent the next 4.5 hours with the most pleasant experience sailing across the gorgeous waters around Bonaire with two snorkeling stops, a number of tasty snacks (the cheese and jam wraps and chicken salad wraps were my personal faves!), and as many drinks (cocktails or N/A) as you wanted. This was a perfect choice for us because our group was quite diverse. We had three generations ranging from 13 to 70 on board, and our youngest daughter has disabilities and is not the strongest swimmer. But the vessel was able to accommodate everyone and we had the most amazing experience.
If you've been to Bonaire, you know it is a great place, and there are a lot of wonderful things you can do. But trust me when I say that you will not find a better experience or value than SoloBon Sailing!! We hope to get back to the ABC islands in another 2-3 years and the first thing we will do when we have that cruise booked is to reserve this charter!

What Our Guests Say about our trips on Bonaire
CjbonaireOn the motor out of the harbor, but for the rest of the well-groomed trip, always "the wind in the sails" hanging nice and diagonally with a rose in hand, served by hostess Linda. Captain Patrick sails you safely along the beautiful coast of Bonaire, enjoy
I2460YQrebeccahWe were a group of four lads and booked this experience online whilst on a Caribbean cruise in April, and honestly it was one of the best things we did during the entire two weeks.
The boat was spacious, comfortable and very well organised, with a great selection of drinks, snacks and a lovely lunch provided throughout the day. The crew were absolutely exceptional and took us to some incredible snorkelling spots.
Swimming with a turtle was genuinely mind-blowing, and seeing the flying fish was something really special.
If you’re thinking about booking an experience like this, don’t hesitate to choose this one — you definitely won’t regret it.
Thank you so much for such an excellent experience!
TexagwillfamilyWe loved this sailing trip with Patrick and Linda! Patrick is a great captain and Linda is so knowledgeable about the marine life. They both know the waters so well and shared so much Bonaire knowledge with us. They were so friendly and attentive and have everything you need to sail comfortably and snorkel too. We could do whatever itinerary we wanted but we were happy with their expert planning. We moored twice both in excellent spots to see a large variety of fish and a couple turtles too. Linda knew so much about the coral reefs and fish and explained so much during our snorkel adventures.
In between moorings, we had a great sail over to Klein Bonaire where we snorkeled a second time. The snacks made by Linda were delicious (the pineapple omg best we've ever had) and she kept them flowing throughout as well as offering us drinks and water.
We had such a great time and just love Patrick and Linda and their stories and would do this trip with them again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!

Lcali2014My family had the best day on the water with Solobon. We all say it was our favorite day of the trip! My elderly parents as well as 2 young boys all enjoyed themselves. We were able to schedule the day exactly as we please. Started with snorkeling, with turtles! Before heading on a cruise and eventually mooring so the boys could jump off the boat. Food, drinks, company, all made the day perfect.
If coming from the cruise port it’s an easy walk along the water.
Djordy SHad a fantastic day. Patrick and Linda are very welcoming and friendly. It is really recommended to do this trip!!
Shannon LandThey were a pleasure to sail with!
Mark PLinda and Patrick were great hosts. They made us feel right at home and seemed really proud of the business that they have built. Snacks were great and unexpected.
The best part was that we actually sailed the entire time. Too often we've booked "sailing" excursions and ended up on a catamaran under engine the entire trip.
Solobon is a legit SAILING experience.
Highly recommend!
Nomad55840383069We had an amazing sunset sail with SoloBon Sailing. Great sail, fast and beautiful boat.
Great snacks, service and crew. Our grandkids also had a great time.
Companion244724We had an amazing sailing trip with Linda and Patrick. They were amazing hosts and kids and adults all had a great time! We enjoyed Linda's snorkeling expertise and even got to see sea turtle!
This was a highlight of our vacation and I would highly recommend.
FeliciaThe Solobon team was super knowledgeable and professional. They ensured we had every thing we wanted and were able to see and do everything our hearts’ desired. Top notch private experience!
