Exactly what I expected
Everything was just like I thought it would be. The canopy provides plenty of shade. I was worried about getting sun burned because I'm super white, but I didn't even get a little burnt.

Bonaire. Electra catamaran snorkel safari…superb
Electro catamaran snorkel safari in Bonaire is the best sailing and snorkeling that we have experienced. The excursion goes to 2 great locations. The coral and fish are superb. The crew was experienced and very helpful. The catamaran was beautiful….large, well maintained and easy to exit to the water

Fun in the waves
The boat was well maintained and safe. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable. The lunch was very yummy; pasta salad, rice, veggies and fried chicken (which was sooooo good). Good music and relaxing vibes. My favorite part was the long sailing portion from Sodus to Ocean World Marina. Definitely recommend for a couple of a group of friends!

C
Not to be done
The staff very nice but very disappointed we had chosen a French guide that we didn’t have so why ask what language they wanted if it’s not to respect in addition hard diving really not long or on sites not great and what disappointed me is that we feed the fish to come see us it’s really lame otherwise the food and drinks were top
