Popular Crewed Yacht Will Charter In Bonaire. Unusual Opportunity
Most people tend to avoid taking a Caribbean yacht charter in the fall due to the hurricane season, but this coming September and October, there is a yacht moving to an exciting destination that is below the normal hurricane route. ‘Sublime’, a popular crewed sailing yacht generally based in the Virgin Islands, is heading to Bonaire, in the south western Caribbean. Very few private yacht charters visit this exciting 
destination, but it is one of Captain Brian’s favorite islands. Bonaire has been consistently ranked as one of the world’s top five scuba diving destinations. The yacht would be used for daysails and a ‘floating hotel’ as they are not allowed to anchor and are too large for the moorings. There are no charter fleets, due to the strict regulations imposed by the government of Bonaire, which means the coral is undamaged and the snorkeling and diving are truly spectacular.
Brian is offering special lower rates that are competitive with the local accommodations. Breakfast, lunch, appetizers and reasonable bar are included, as well as diving. Dinners would be taken ashore and air refills would be additional. Please request literature, email or call us (800 621 7855) if you are interested in joining Sublime in Bonaire.

I will ask Brian for more specific details and get back to you. They plan to keep the yacht dockside overnight due to local regulations and do daysails and dive trips during the day.

Hello Mr. Gonzalez!!
Sublime is outfitted with four equal staterooms and can accomodate 8 guests. Our Bonaire only price for an 8pk is 14,000 (1,750 per person), 6pk is 12,000, and our 4pk rate is 10,000 dollars. The charter is only for the island of Bonaire, as there is so much to do there!! We don’t do the los Roches or Los Aves, as you have to check into Venezuela first, and from Bonaire that is quite a haul. Our prices include breakfasts, lunches and hors d’oeuvres, and all the dive equipment, and local knowledge of dive sites. Our diving is done from the yachts tender, as Sublime is too big to use the mooring system Bonaire has to offer. You might also consider renting a car for the week, as many dives are accessible by beach diving, and it gives you fun range for nightlife and diving. The island also is a mecca for learning to windsurf, kite surf, and they have a salt flat with land sailing races! Bonaire is a very clean, safe, fun island, and one of my favorites. If I can be of anymore assistance, please contact Ed Hamilton’s office to find out more info, or availability of the yacht. Regards, Brian Johnson
