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. 

This year's event caters to everyone, from sunrise to sunset. Witness the exhilarating swim to klein Bonaire event for everyone that wants to participate, daytime races, then immerse yourself in the vibrant festival atmosphere that takes over Kralendijk as night falls. Live music fills the air, while a dedicated kid's corner keeps the little ones entertained. Over 25 food stands tantalize your taste buds with a global array of flavors. Don't miss exploring the Arts & Crafts area, where you'll discover the island's local creativity on display. And to top it all off, join the epic Saturday Boat Party for an unforgettable afternoon celebration on the water!

 

The 2024 Bonaire Regatta promises an unforgettable experience, from action-packed races to lively celebrations. It's an event for all ages!
