The flag consists of three diagonal stripes in yellow, white and blue with a stylized black compass around a red, six-pointed star in the white stripe.

Red, white and blue, the colors of the flag of the Netherlands , indicate the connection between the island and the Netherlands .

The yellow upper corner represents the light of the sun and the beauty of nature, as numerous plants on Bonaire have yellow flowers. The blue triangle at the end of the flight represents the sea. The white diagonal stripe means peace, freedom and tranquility. The black compass is supposed to remember the settlers who came across the sea and settled on Bonaire. The red, six-pointed star is a symbol of the six former residential areas of Bonaire: Antriol, Nikiboko, Nort Saliña, Playa and Tera Korá, which now form the capital Kralendijk , and Rincon.
