Curacao (pass by)

With a private boat trip you can decide what you like to do and see.All of our trips start with some sight seeing through Spanish Waters. This area is home to some impressive houses and nature with its mangrove area as well as beautiful landscape with coral stone rock formations and its view of Tafelberg. In this beautiful scenery water sports can be offered. We have a multi-functional board on which you can body board, knee board, water ski and wake board. No previous experience is required. It is fun for all ages (min. age is 6 years). We then stop at Santa Barbara pier to enjoy the beach to swim and relax.Curacao's surrounding waters can be rough compared to other places, but when opportunity hits we go out passing the coastline and stop at Fuik Bay and explore some unique snorkel spots (Tugboat and/or Director's Bay).We operate on the East side of the island and do not go to the Blue Room or sea turtles beach.The itinerary is just a suggestion and can be adjusted.

Tugboat Wreck

No trip to Curaçao is complete without spending time out on the Caribbean Sea and snorkeling at the Tugboat Wreck. The Tugboat Wreck should not be missed. It lays shallow in the water and besides the wreck you can see a variety of fish and coral. Besides the Tugboat we can also visit other snorkel sites in this area. The "scheduled" snorkel time can be adjusted to your wishes. If you are an avid snorkeler we can extend the time.
