ITINERARY: Bonaire to Curacao by s/v Domicil

Sample Itinerary for Charter Yacht Domicil
Bonaire - 'Small' Curacao - Curacao (7 days)

As the winds are always easterly, this is a great downwind sailing event, making it an easy passage even for those not used to being on the sea.

• Day 1: Arrival

The Domicil crew will welcome you at the airport (Flamingo) on Bonaire and bring you to the yacht Domicil waiting for you at their Kralendijk mooring. Once aboard, freshen up and then enjoy cocktails and hors d'houvres on deck. A beautiful sunset is the prelude for a romantic dinner -- alfresco!

• Day 2: Bonaire

Bonaire is a wonderful Caribbean Island with a historic Dutch flavor! You can wander around in Kralendijk, enjoy the best dive spots in the world, or drive to the unique salt pans flanked by original slave houses. Bonaire is an amazing experience!

• Day 3: Day sail to 'Small Curacao'

This is a fabulous day of sailing from Bonaire to the island of Klein Curacao, about 30 miles to the west. After breakfast we set sail in a broad reach (that's smooth sailing) to the uninhabited island called 'Klein Curacao'.  With a bit of luck we will meet dolphins on the way, and those who like to fish can try for a marlin or a tuna! We arrive late in the afternoon, just in time for cocktails and an always inspiring sunset. Dinner aboard.

• Day 4: Island 'Small Curacao'

On Klein Curacao you will find pristine beaches, crystal clear waters with coral, colorful fish and with a little luck, swimming with turtles! The island has many interesting stories, illustrated with a deserted lighthouse, shipwrecks and traces of old settlements. By evening you may have the island for yourself! We anchor overnight in the protected bay and enjoy the relaxed ambiance of this special secluded place.

• Day 5: Day sail to Curacao & Baoase

After a relaxed breakfast we complete the easy sail to Curacao to the famous private 5-start resort, Baoase. There, a private car (Mercedes with a driver/guide) is available for you to explore the intriguing features of Curacao. Visit the beaches, natural parks, famous 'Handelskade' with the floating bridge, floating market, the slave museum, or tax-free shopping in Punda. Curacao offers some fabulous architecture on the UNESCO world heritage list. We will be happy create a day package to suit your needs. In the evening you are the guest of the very best chef on Curacao at the 5-star Baoase private resort. Your dinner will be served on the private beach.

• Day 6: Day sail south coast Curacao

Today we sail along the south coast of Curacao all the way to the very west tip called West Point. We anchor in Playa Kalki in front of the famous Kura Hurlanda resort. After cocktails at sunset, the choice is yours: A romantic last dinner aboard or ashore at the beautiful Kura Hulanda resort.

• Day 7: Farewell

Whatever your choice was last night, we are sure you have spent a memorable week aboard Domicil. Enjoy a relaxed breakfast, one last swim and check out at any time. The Domicil crew will take you to the airport for your return to Bonaire or onwards to your international destination.
