Experience Bonaire from the comfort of a beautiful sailing catamaran with Life at 8 Knots, a boutique operator offering personalized private charters and intimate shared sailing experiences along the island’s spectacular coastline. Hosted by husband-and-wife team James and Julia, Life at 8 Knots focuses on creating relaxed, memorable days on the water where guests are treated like friends rather than passengers.

Step aboard Lost Cat and discover Bonaire from a completely different perspective. Depending on your chosen experience, you can snorkel in crystal-clear Caribbean waters, relax on deck, enjoy freshly prepared meals, watch the sunset, go stargazing, or simply sail along the coast while taking in the scenery. Private charters can be customized around your interests, making them ideal for couples, families, friends, celebrations, and small groups.

For travelers who enjoy social experiences, shared excursions include the popular Snorkel & Sunset “TACOCAT” adventure, featuring a snorkeling stop, freshly prepared taco bar, drinks, and a sunset sail. A shorter two-hour sunset cruise is also available for guests who want to enjoy golden-hour views from the catamaran.

Life at 8 Knots also offers diving experiences, private scuba courses, and unique multi-day liveaboard adventures for travelers who want to immerse themselves in Bonaire’s marine environment.

Whether you want an adventurous snorkeling day, a romantic sunset cruise, or a completely private Caribbean escape, Life at 8 Knots offers an authentic and highly personalized way to experience Bonaire by sea.
