Lady Bellaïs is a one of a kind ship on Bonaire, you won't find a more beautiful and spacious ship on the island. The ship holds up to 114 people but on trips it only takes 60-70 people so it doesn't get crowded. It is a family owned business that take pride out of there work. The crew that is working on the ship are natives and have together more then 40 years experience. There are always at lease two guides in the water to help and support you, there is attention for the beginning snorkelers or less confident. It's also a fun trip for people that don't want to snorkel, the sightseeing is amazing and the crew has lots of stories to tell. You'll not only be snorkeling and see the underwater-world but you also get to see a part of the beautiful coastline of Bonaire. We have a real bar on board where we will be serving you al kind of beverages that you can enjoy on our top deck, below deck or even on the nets over at the bow of the boat, also we have two separate bathrooms on board.

This was our third time onboard Lady Bellais! The schooner is beautiful, the crew friendly and fun and the provided lunch is always delicious. Transportation to and from the schooner is provided, so no worries. My husband enjoyed the snorkeling while I relaxed onboard. It's always exciting and amusing when guests enjoy the rope swing. Overall, a super fun way to enjoy our time in beautiful Bonaire. 💙
We were in Bonaire for a short port time due to our cruise ship schedule. I booked a 10:30 AM excursion with Lady Bellais and it was the perfect amount of time. The hosts were super nice, informed, provided delicious food and were knowledgeable about the history of the island along with the location where we snorkeled. I wouldn't hesitate to take another trip with this company. My husband, teen son, and I were very happy with the experience. Thank you all at Bonaire Cruisers for being such great hosts!
The total experience was phenomenal. The guide and whole crew were very nice and made trip fun! Food, drinks, and just the whole excursion was great and would definitely use this group again!
We were recommended this trip from a few fellow cruisers from a cruise FB group who highly recommended Lady Bellais for a Bonaire snorkeling excursion. My wife and I went, and while I'm not a strong snorkeler/swimmer (and was sick during the trip so my snorkeling was short-lived).. my wife had a great snorkel in the area they take you to snorkel. We got a tour and information about different parts about that side of Bonaire, a great lunch, and free drinks! We tried cactus liquor for the first time, which had an interesting flavor. They had masks & snorkels, fins, swim vests, and pool noodles available to use for folks who don't bring their own. They also gave the opportunity to use their rope swing. We'll definitely be back for another round the next time we're in Bonaire and highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice trip with an hour or so of snorkeling.
This was my husband and I’s 3rd time doing this excursion and we will probably do this every year from now on. Everyone is so kind and personable, the lunch that is provided is INCREDIBLE and of course Bonaire is beautiful.
This excursion was highly recommended to us by a family member and let me tell you — it did not disappoint. Our group of 6 adults and 1 teenager had an absolutely amazing time. From the moment we stepped onboard, the crew made us feel welcome, comfortable, and excited for the day ahead. They were truly amazing. The snorkeling experience was something I’ll never forget. It was my first time, and I’ll admit I panicked a little at the beginning. The crew talked me through it so calmly and kindly that I was able to settle my nerves and really enjoy myself. By the end, I looked around and realized I was one of the last ones still in the water… lol. That’s how much fun I was having. The rope swing was a blast, lunch was delicious, and the open bar was a great bonus. Everything about this excursion felt thoughtful, safe, and full of good vibes. It’s absolutely something I would do over and over again. The price was very reasonable, and as an added perk, we received a discounted rate for a golf cart rental at Bonaire Cruisers afterward — owned by the same folks. Such a great way to finish the day. If you’re visiting Bonaire, Lady Bellaïs is a must-do. Truly a memorable experience from start to finish.
This is my absolutely favorite boat on the island. I've been on the Lady Bellais many many times now. I've done the snorkel excursion, the Friday happy hour sailing and plently of work outings have been held on the boat. The crew is absolutely wonderful (truly amazing people), the food is great and the experience is always fun. Would absolutely recommend.
We had a fantastic day together with our family. The beautiful Brazilian boat really gives the snorkel trip something extra and immediately creates a special atmosphere. While sailing, the history of Bonaire was told in a fun and enthusiastic way, which made the experience even more special. Underwater we have seen a lot of beautiful things. Lunch was also an absolute hit: delicious, locally and prepared with care by the captain's wife. In short: this trip is highly recommended!
My family and I had an absolute great time .The boat was spacious enough for everyone. Snorkeling gear was in great condition. Snorkeling spot was perfect. And the food prepared was excellent. We would definitely recommend this excirsion to anyone heading to the island
We had such an amazing time on the Lady Belalise! The crew was great and the snorkeling was so amazing! Not to mention how tasty the lunch was! We cannot wait to come back!
