Amazing - This was one of the most amazing excursions we have ever done. Every need or want was taken care of before we even knew we needed it. I cannot recommend this enough. We will definitely be back.

3 Amazing Experiences - Julia and James are the best! We’ve now booked three different experiences with Life at 8 Knots. First was my 50th birthday with friends, a dive and then a full day of sailing, eating, and drinking. The second was with the kids (teens), snorkeling and a taco-cat afternoon/sunset. And the third time was with my parents (in their 70s), a sailing and a sunset cruise with a seven course meal from Chef Leo. Three different experiences with one thing in common, all 5 Stars and highly recommend.

Best Night in Bonaire - We had a wonderful time snorkeling and sailing. From the moment we got onboard our hosts showed us an amazing time. It was a perfectly planned evening where all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. The food was delicious . Every time we turned around ,we were given a small bite of something delicious, and dinner was fabulous. Sailing back under the stars was a perfect way to end the evening. We highly recommend this very unique experience. It was our favorite night in Bonaire.

Tremendous way to watch the sunset and enjoy the best meal in Bonaire ! - We are a well travelled group of 3 couples. The experience with Life at 8 Knots we immediately booked a second cruise with them on our 14 day stay. Julia and James could not be more hospitable, the perfect combination of great storytelling but all the privacy we wanted. Tremendous services of drinks and snacks but not bothersome. Dinner was excellent, we had beef tenderloin and chicken. Truly the best beef dish we had on Bonaire and the chef is so pleasant and really care about his patrons. The boat is spacious and immaculate. The hanging chairs aft were a big hit and the snorkel spot they choose was great. Highly recommend Life at 8 Knots. You won’t be disappointed. We get to go again tomorrow!!!

Couldn’t have asked for anything more. - It was romantic, it was fun, it was special and it far exceeded our expectations. Julia and James are great hosts, the boat was immaculate and Leo’s cooking and presentation was exquisite. We enjoyed it so much we plan to go again in March.

10/10 experience, able to accommodate vegan guests - James and Julia took great care of us! The boat is gorgeous and clean, they were wonderful hosts, and James even made sure I had vegan options for dinner. It is rare that I am provided such great options. The water was gorgeous, the sunset was incredible, 10/10 experience.

Amazing Sunset Cruise! Book this excursion! - Our group had such a fun and memorable time sailing around Bonaire with James and Julia! We felt like we were just part of the family as James and Julia were so hospitable. First off, the boat is amazing and perfect for our group of 8 couples. Julia was such a fantastic guide snorkeling with us in some special spots around the island. We saw turtles and so so many fish. It exceeded all of our expectations! Finally, the snacks and dinner that James made for us was amazing and delicious. This truly was such a highlight of our time in Bonaire, and we’d recommend it to anyone visiting the island! Just book it and have the best time!

The highlight of Bonaire! - An amazing trip! Captain Bri, Stephanie and Leo were fantastic! Stephanie was super attentive to our needs. The guava colada was wonderful! The captain included the boys and was extremely friendly and polite. Leo prepared AMAZING appetizers and dinner. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew to make our sunset cruise so memorable. Highly recommend!

Wow what an experience! - Oh my goodness what a treat to do a Sunset Cruise with Captain James, Julia and our dear friends. The SV Lost Cat is an amazing craft and superbly equipped for a very special experience. The food, drinks and company was exceptional and we can’t recommend this experience highly enough. We also sat on the swings off the back of Lost Cat soaking in the Caribbean. An everlasting memory, thanks so much😘

Fabulous 50 sailing exceeded expectations! - Our fabulous 50 birthday celebration on the private sailboat was phenomenal! The service was perfectly executed and the drinks plentiful. We were able to celebrate with a delicious birthday cake after dinner! The owners even decorated the boat for us! Perfection from beginning to end! Memories to last a lifetime!! We will definitely do it again when we’re back in Bonaire!
