          Great ship crew, nice sunset.
          Rich and Jermane were great. There were 3 couples. The tour began with Jermane picking us up at the Bonaire cruise pier around 4:15. The 6 of us were driven to the dock, where we had to climb down into a small inflatable dinghy. We had a short dinghy ride to the boat. A small cabin cruiser about 26 years old awaited us. The mate, Rich, arrived and made us some cocktails. We began our cruise along the shore past our ship, the Carnival Horizon, with many talking points, historical references, and a few local funny stories. They served some cold chicken nuggets and tiny rolls of a kind of ham and cheese. Music was playing on a stereo system, but there was no room for dancing. The sunset was beautiful, and Jermane got us in position for a great view. The dinghy ride back was a little iffy as we had to climb in and out in the dark. It was a little overpriced but still had a good time.

          Sunset
          The tour was not what we expected. The boat was fine, the captain and his mate were nice as well. However, they advertise drinks and snacks. We got one Rum punch, and a chocolate chip cookie. After the first drink we had to pay for any additional drinks we wanted. We basically followed the shore line along the coast and then turned at sunset and went back.

          Sherwanda for the Win
          I don't write too many reviews but I'm gonna let the cat out of the bag. We cruise alot. This is one of the best value cruise ship excursions you will ever find. We were met exactly on time at the port exit for NCL. We were escorted to the exit for Carnival. Unfortunately, their exit was delayed by customs and made up 8 of the 10 passengers for the yacht. So we waited an extra hour. When we were all off our collective ships we were hustled into two vans for a very short interesting journey to the dock and zippy dinghy. Two 50 yard trips to the cabin cruiser and we were underway. There is plenty of room to spread out. Drinks were served and we enjoyed a leisurely trip around the harbor coast and then over to Klein island. Anchored fairly close to the nice beach. The current would carry you along a very scenic snorkel with a lot fish, brain coral, elkhorn coral and giant bull sharks (kidding about the sharks). There is a wall with a very steep deep blue drop off to 80'. The crew are excellent and even with a brief mishap with an inexperienced snorkeler unaccustomed to strong current she was instantly helped to the boat. You could conceivably drift along the wall with the current and then walk back along the beach and then either swim back to the boat or be picked up from shore by the dinghy. I found the snorkeling best actually going behind the boat that day. But I doubt he uses the same anchorage each day. There are other tourist boats in the area. Despite the early delay we still had our full half day and were returned with plenty of time to shop around the arts and crafts market/ fort and get back to the ship easily. Highly recommend these guys- Hey Capt. Jermaine!

          Snorkel yacht tour
          Jeremiah was our captain. The snorkeling was what this tour was all about and is definitely why I scored this a 5 star. I wouldn't call this a yacht it's actually a cuddy cabin boat. But there was sufficient room on it for the amount of people that were on it. But the snorkel time was amazing. The water is so blue and clear. We saw many fish, many fish and beautiful fish. And I liked that it was not a guided snorkel tour he just told us where to go and let us do it on our own.

          Great times!
          Great time on the yacht! We were lucky to only hav a few on board so plenty of space for us. The drinks were good and cheap! The water was amazing at the beach and we enjoyed snorkeling to see schools of fish. Plenty of time to snorkel and walk the beach.

          Beautifull and perfect day!
          We had a perfect tour on Sherwanda! When we entered the beautifull yacht Nijwanda welcomed us with a homemade mojito. We went to "donkeybeach" and "klein Bonaire" for the most beautifull snorkel spots with a lot of fishes. After a few beers and snacks we went back on the yacht and had the most perfect view on the sunset. We were lucky with the clear sky because it was the most beautifull sunset i've seen. After the sunset we went back to the harbour and jumped off the yacht. Very very nice expierience!! Thanks alot to the captain and Nijwanda for this trip!

          Lovely day on the boat with nice staff, a great snorkel location and amazing sunset. Really recommend this for a group off friends or family who want to spend the day on the beautifull waters of Bonaire.

          amazing snorkeling aboard an awesome yacht
          Did a day trip called "Double Dip" where Captain Jerome took us to 2 different snorkeling areas. Raquel picked us up at the cruise port and took us to the dock and was there to help out with any of our wants during this 3+ hour of cruising and snorkeling. They provide snorkels and fins although I had brought my own. At the end of the trip Raquel returned us to the cruise port. It was an amazing day of snorkeling and relaxing on the yacht. I highly recommend Sherwanda Boat adventures. You can do a last minute booking right on the cruise port for 1/2 the price of the cruise line booking. I felt very safe under Jerome's care.

        We booked this snorkel trip on the way to the cruise because we don't like cruise excursions. Our boat captain was fun and informative and he made sure we had everything we needed to make the trip fun. He brought us to 3 great snorkel spots, all perfect snorkel depth, not too deep, not too shallow, with nice coral formations and lots of tropical fish. The boat was large and very comfortable, it was easy to get in the water from the platform, although getting out was a bit of a challenge but both guides were right there to help. The ladder was a bit of a challenge cuz there was nothing to grap onto except the strong arms of the guides. This snorkel excusion was the highlight of our trip, the view was spectacular, the boat was a huge treat, unlike those tourist boats where they pack you in! He even took us to a beautiful beach. We loved it, and I highly recommend this trip. Next time more mango please! The mango was delish!

        We booked with Sherwanda for our family of 6 snorkelers before arriving on our cruise ship for a day. We were met easily and promptly at the cruise port and shuttled to the boat. We had multiple snorkel stops (the very best being Klein Bonaire) and excellent service by Jermaine and his crewmate. We paid a little extra to have just our family on board and we loved this experience. I would definitely book with them again if we visit Bonaire. You do need to be able to climb boat ladders (as you do with every snorkel trip we've been on). We had an unexpected rain deluge in the middle and it still went very well and added to our adventure although I don't think the crew expected to get so wet. Thanks for a wonderful adventure, one we would love to do again sometime.

        Was disappointed that when we booked we specifically asked for a customized private excursion for a family of 11 and were joined by another family of 5. Snorkeling was average, 3 close spots, they did let us jump off boat when kids for bored. Drinks were available if we asked for one; no snacks, def not free flowing. Jermaine was very nice, but just not the same level of hospitality that we received on other excursions.

        This excursion was excellent! Our tour started early as they were ready to pick us up as soon as we left the dock. We were taken with an lovely couple by air conditioned van to our next dock. We loaded onto a dingy to get to our yacht. There was a toilet available if we needed it. We were offered drinks after each spot. After our last spot they offered chicken nuggets with bbq sauce and chili sauce. Food was not mentioned in the description and we were thankful for a little snack. The two guides were very friendly and helpful. They communicated with us very efficiently and were able to tell us the best places to see all of the marine life! We had a blast and would definitely purchase this tour again!

        Good snorkeling tour in Bonaire. The main reason we decided on this tour over others was the ability to snorkel directly from the boat in stead of from the shore.
        Unfortunately we seem to have been a bit unlucky on the day we chose, since the first snorkel stop had a very strong current, the second stop (Klein Bonaire) didn't have any available anchor spots and to top it all off we got some big tropical rain.

        Wish (kind of expected) the boat would pick us up right at the cruise port, instead of having to take a mini van ride first, as this could have saved quite some time. We ended up sailing right past the cruise ship on the way to our first snorkel spot.

        Last snorkel spot didn't look like much, but turned out to be great with lots of coral formations and fish.

        Crew was very friendly and helpful and their provided snorkeling gear (mask and snorkel only) was in good shape.

        We had this snorkeling trip booked way in advance and they cancelled the trip at 9:30pm the night before we were coming into port on our cruise. It left us with nothing scheduled and it was too late to schedule an alternate excursion. Very very disappointed and stuck with nothing to do. Terrible experience.

        Hi Pam, The day before the booked trip we met with a situation that we did not antisipate. It was not under our control to cancel the booked trip. To go forward with you on an unsafe trip was also NOT an option. We are at your service for your next visit on the island. Sorry for the inconvenience.

        Thank you Sherwanda. Wonderful snorkeling experience. Thanks to the captain and first mate for all the history and pointers especially the flying fish! What a treat to see.

        A not to miss excursion that we will do again on our next time to Curaçao. What a beautiful island you have and to see it by the ocean made it even more beautiful.
        Don’t miss this amazing snorkeling tour. Even if you don’t swim, the sights are beautiful.

        The boat is very nice with plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the sunshine and the view.

        I booked this excursion for my family of 5 on March 16, 2023 - 2 1/2 months prior to the booked date of May 31, 2023. They cancelled our reservation because they overbooked 15 days before our trip. When on a cruise, it is almost impossible to get a decent excursion 15 days prior. We were really looking forward to this particular excursion. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

        P.S. There is no way I was the "last" person to book this trip. Seems like the last should be cancelled first.

        This was a good afternoon of snorkeling. The crew was very friendly. The snorkeling was good, not great. We went to three spots. Two were directly off the shore and the third was at Klein Bonaire. While a beautiful beach, not a lot of snorkeling there. There were some friendly fish you could feed. The trip advertises a luxury yacht. While the boat was better then expected, I don't think I'd go quick so far as to call it a luxury yacht. I would recommend this trip.
