BON BINI

Testimonial from Morten "....I can easily recommend a charter tour with you. The boat was comfortable, the dives were great and the food was excellent. But above all, I really enjoyed your company and the atmosphere onboard."

The hard chine steel ketch Bon Bini has sailed around the world with her owner/skipper.  She is not a luxury yacht but has a lot of personality and is very cozy.

Bon Bini is based in the southern Grenadines, in the Eastern Caribbean.  She is available for term charters as short as 2 days or as long as you like.  She also makes day tours in the area. The guests on Bon Bini are integrated into the daily routine of sailing, which means everybody helps a little bit such as sailing, anchoring, cooking, as well as just chilling.

The trips:
Bon Bini will take you on a tour of the Grenadines – or further afield - stopping in some of the most beautiful anchorages along the way.  Adjacent to Union Island is the Tobago Cays Marine Park, a protected marine area where you can stop and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings – uninhabited sand atolls, clear azure sea, world class snorkeling and diving, as well as magnificent sunsets.

Bon Bini also caters to divers, whether the uninitiated – Ellie is a PADI/CMAS scuba instructor – or experienced.  It is possible to become PADI-certified in only 3 days, or simply dive for fun in the Tobago Cays or on the Mayreau wreck.  Certification up to dive master is possible on the Bon Bini.

One of Ellie’s unique offerings is camping on deserted islands.  Land on a sandy shore and spend the night in a tent; cook a freshly caught fish over a campfire and get close to nature in a way you never could while staying in a hotel.

Ellie’s knowledge of this area will allow you to fully appreciate the nuances of this region.  She will recommend the route that will make the most of the time you have aboard.

Accommodation:
There are 2 double cabins, 1 bathroom with shower on deck.

The crew:
Ellie, owner and skipper, is an experienced sailor and diver.  She is happy to share her knowledge and experience of the area and of the sea.
