UPDATE #7

We just received our very last "good luck & goodbye" gift from Chef Tham and Host Harrie.

Some of you may already know that Chef Tham and Host Harrie have left the island to begin an exciting new adventure. The good news is that you can follow their journey every step of the way on their page, We Make Our Days Count. 🥳

We are beyond grateful for everything Tham and Harrie have poured into this place, the incredible meals, the laughter, the memories, and the heart they brought every single day. Their impact on Cactus Blue will never be forgotten!

Thank you both for everything you've done, not only for Cactus Blue, but also for helping us prepare for this next chapter. We wish you nothing but happiness, success, and unforgettable adventures. We'll be following along from Bonaire. ❤

see you next update,

Anne & Tamara

UPDATE #6

Learning from the best!
We’re getting hands-on training from Chef Tham, learning how to prepare and cook everything the Cactus Blue way. Not just learning how to cook but practicing our smiles, too! 😁

see you next week!

UPDATE #5

Unfortunately, we still don't have insights on how long our permits will take, so no reopening date just yet. We'd rather not promise a date we can't keep. 😕

BUT!

There's plenty happening on our end as we get ready to reopen!
This time, we're learning proper cutting and prep techniques from Chef Tham. It's not just about getting clean cuts, every piece is carefully checked for any remaining bones, as well as small shot holes left from where the Lionfish were speared by Lionfish hunters.
It's a time consuming process, but one we're happy to put in the work for. It's all part of making sure only the best pieces of fish make it onto your burger. 😉

There's clearly more to preparing Lionfish burgers than meets the eye, and we're grateful to be learning from someone who really knows what she's doing. ❤

See you next update!

UPDATE #4

We wanted to share a little moment: a tasting of the fresh juices made by Bas from Smooth Operators. Many of you already know these flavors from Cactus Blue, and since we’ve taken over the food truck, we felt it was important to taste them ourselves and learn the stories behind each recipe. 😋

One detail that really stood out is the bottles: they're made from recycled beer bottles. This eco-friendly concept means a lot to us and it fits perfectly with what we’re doing at Cactus Blue and what we stand for. We make lionfish burgers as part of our effort to help the local ecosystem, so keeping sustainability in every part of what we serve is important to us! ❤

Trying the juices together was a lovely way to connect with what Bas has created, we’re honored to continue it. If you’re missing fresh juices while Cactus Blue is still closed, you can find Bas and his fresh juices at Smooth Operators .🍍

We can’t wait to share these flavors with you once we're up and running again!

UPDATE #3

With both our cold storage container and, a few days later, our food truck finally finding their new home, there was no time to sit back and relax. Time to get to work! 💪

One of the first big jobs was getting the electricity sorted. For this we called in Ernst from 1234Security B.V. (highly recommended!). He worked his magic, and now all our fridges and freezers are back up and running. Thank you, Ernst!

Since then, our days have been filled with cleaning, scrubbing, painting, unpacking, and organizing, giving both the container and the truck the fresh start they deserve. It's kind of crazy how many little jobs keep popping up... cross one thing off the list, and two more take its place! 🫣

It's a lot of hard work, but honestly, it's the fun part too. Every step brings us a little closer to opening day. 🥳

Slowly but surely, Cactus Blue Foodtruck is starting to look and feel more like home.

Happy 4th of July!

We'd like to wish all our current and future customers, family and friends in the United States a wonderful Independence Day.

Enjoy the festivities! 🇺🇸

UPDATE #2

After moving all the fridges and freezers, it was time for the next big challenge: getting our cold storage container from Chef Tham and Host Harrie’s yard to Cactus Blue Foodtruck’s new home.

Sounds simple enough... until you realize the only way in was through the neighbour’s garden. First, we had to move a car out of their yard before we could even start this journey. Once everything was finally in place, the real show began. Before we knew it, we had a small crowd gathered together, all staring up at the same thing: a giant crane carefully lifting our container through the air.

It’s not every day you watch something that weighs several tons floating over your house... especially with 30 knots of wind trying to make things a little bit more "interesting." 🫣

We all held our breath until the container touched down safely. Only then we could finally relax: our very important refrigerated container had made it home in one piece! 🥳🥳

Another big piece of the puzzle is now in place. We're getting closer every day to start serving you again!

Anne & Tamara,

Cactus Blue Foodtruck.

UPDATE #1

A lot of people ask us how things are going while we're waiting for our permits, so we thought we'd start sharing a few behind the scenes moments.

Our re**er plays a big role for the Cactus Blue food truck as it keeps all our stock safely stored and ready to go at all times.

This week was all about moving refrigerators and freezers. Not exactly the part of food truck ownership that makes it onto the socials very often, but it turns out those things don't move themselves. Fortunately, a few friends were willing to lend a hand. What started as "we'll just move a couple of refrigerators" somehow turned into an afternoon of lifting, pushing, maneuvering, and occasionally standing still while somebody figured out the best way to get around a corner. 😅

By the end of the day everything was where it needed to be, nobody got hurt, and we're still on speaking terms with each other, which feels like a win. 🥳

We’re one step further in getting things ready…..

We’ll keep sharing these small updates as things move along behind the scenes.

It's funny how something so important can look so ordinary.

A table...
A few papers...
A couple of signatures...

We are grateful, excited, and ready for what comes next. We also want to say a heartfelt thank you for all the kind messages, comments, and well wishes on our announcement post. Reading them has meant more to us than you know. ❤️

Reminder : While the transfer is now official, we are still waiting for the final permits before we can reopen and welcome everyone back to Cactus Blue!
We'll keep you up to date on our social media platforms.

Thank you for your patience. We can't wait to fire up the grill and see you all soon!

Hi everyone!
We are so excited to introduce ourselves as the new owners of Cactus Blue Food Truck!

We are mother and daughter, Tamara Snelder and Anne Snelder, and we feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue the story of this special place.

I’m Anne, 19 years old, born and raised on Bonaire. Growing up on this beautiful island has given me a deep love and knowledge of everything Bonaire has to offer. Taking over Cactus Blue is truly a dream come true, and I am beyond excited to start this new food adventure.

I’m Tamara, 47 years old, originally from the Netherlands, but Bonaire has been my home for almost 25 years. This island has become such an important part of my life, and I am proud to begin this new chapter together with my daughter.

Fun fact: We promise it wasn’t part of the purchase agreement to share the same name! 😁

Most importantly, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Chef Tham and Host Harrie. Their passion, dedication, and vision have made Cactus Blue Food Truck the special place it is today. We are honored to continue their legacy and will do our very best to carry Cactus Blue forward with the same love, care, and spirit that so many people have come to know and appreciate.

At this moment, we are still waiting for the final permits and approvals before we can officially re-open the doors. We know many of you are eager for updates, and so are we! We will keep everyone informed and up to date through our social media channels as the process moves forward.

We look forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces, creating wonderful memories, and continuing the warm atmosphere that makes Cactus Blue so unique.

Thank you for your patience, support, and enthusiasm during this exciting transition. We can’t wait to meet you all!

Chef Tamara & Chef Anne ❤️
