Our Story

A Vessel of Character
and Caribbean Soul

Lady Bellaïs is no ordinary boat. She is a traditional wooden Brazilian schooner — handcrafted, warm, and full of soul. Her two tall red-trimmed masts and elegant white hull have become one of Bonaire's most beloved sights on the water.

Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning friend of the island, stepping aboard Lady Bellaïs is stepping into something genuinely different. This is not a catamaran tour. This is a real wooden sailing vessel with real Caribbean character.
