The blue and yellow triangles represent the sea and sun respectively while the dividing white strip represents the sky. The colors red, white, and blue also show Bonaire's loyalty to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as red, white, and blue are the colors of the prinsenvlag which is a flag which has been used to represent the Dutch people for centuries. The black compass represents the population of Bonaire who come from the four corners of the world. The red six-pointed star represents the original six islands of the Netherlands Antilles; Sint Maarten, Sint Eustatius, Saba, Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire.
