The boat is an original Venezuelan fruit vessel, found 17 years ago abandoned on the south point of Bonaire.
There were no signs or whatsoever on the boat so the owner couldn’t be traced, and after a year the boat became “Island property”.

The first years the boat was used as a water taxi, until 5 years ago the Kantika di Amor became the water taxi to Klein Bonaire.
In the meanwhile also snorkel trips were introduced on the Sea Cow.

Around 4 years ago the Sea Cow was taken out of the water to be left ashore and alone, until…….
Kerstin & Eric Witten bought the boat with the idea to restore it to her former glory.
A lot of work was done on the boat to make her “water worthy” again, and on November 5th 2005 she had her “maiden trip”.
Since that time a lot of improvements have been done and the boat is in great shape now, doing almost daily trips to Klein Bonaire and the west coast of Bonaire.
