Every October, Bonaire sets sail on a vibrant adventure with the Bonaire Regatta. This electrifying four-day event (October 6th-12th, 2024) is a fusion of competitive sailing and a nonstop island party.
Skilled sailors from across the Caribbean test their mettle in various classes, with the crystal-clear waters between Bonaire and Klein Bonaire as their stunning racetrack.
But the excitement extends beyond the races! Join the open-water challenge – the "Swim to Klein Bonaire" – and test your own endurance alongside seasoned participants.
As the sun dips below the horizon, Kralendijk's streets transform into a festive hub, pulsating with live music on multiple stages. But the Bonaire Regatta is more than just a competition. It's a celebration of Bonaire's rich sailing heritage, dating back to 1967. This event honors the island's sailing legacy and everyone who has contributed to its success.
