Trinity Yachts, the Louisiana-based shipyard with a long history of building serious expedition and motor yachts for American owners, produces vessels that match the relaxed scale of Bonaire charter particularly well. These are large, capable boats that cruise efficiently, carry generous deck space, and offer the kinds of interior volumes that suit extended family or group charters. Bonaire is a relatively compact island, but its marine national park, pristine dive sites, and proximity to the Venezuelan coast and neighbouring ABC islands give Trinity’s range considerable sailing variety. The fleet available for charter in this region typically spans 30 to 65 metres, mixing modern tri-deck motor yachts with a handful of explorer-influenced designs better suited to rugged anchorages. Crews aboard Trinity yachts are professional and well-organised, used to managing large parties and multi-day provisioning runs. Weekly charter rates for Trinity vessels in the Caribbean range from approximately 70,000 to 350,000 euros per week according to size. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent. December through April is peak season and commands the highest rates, though Bonaire’s sheltered leeward position means the island receives charter traffic year-round. The reef wall running along the island’s western shore begins within swimming distance of many anchorages, and the island’s compact size means guests can see more of it in a week than any road-based visitor could manage. A Trinity’s range, deck space, and onboard toys make it an effective platform for doing exactly that.
