Boat trips in Curaçao

Every boat trip compared

Prices are for the whole private boat on the Scout 355, which takes up to 14 guests. "From" is the price for up to 4 guests. Bigger groups pay a little more, and you see your exact price as soon as you choose your group size. The 9% OB tax, Curaçao's turnover tax, is added at checkout.

Every trip leaves from Fisherman's Harbor in Caracasbaai, on Spanish Water. Parking is free, and it gets busy on Sundays. No car yet? You can rent one from Rent Car Curaçao Deals. We send you the exact meeting point by email and WhatsApp before your trip. Staying in Jan Thiel, Mambo Beach, Pietermaai or Otrobanda? Our area guides cover the trip from there.

Want more time on a set trip? An extra hour is $300 on the Scout 355. Coming with more than 14 guests? Our larger boat, the Scout 420, takes up to 18. You can book it online for trips from November 15, 2026; for earlier dates, ask us on WhatsApp. Its boat price and food packages are 25% above the Scout 355, and other add-ons cost the same. An extra hour on the Scout 420 is $400.

Why every trip we run is private

Many boat tours in Curaçao sell seats. We don't. When you book with us, the boat, the captain and the crew are yours for the day, whether you are two people or fourteen. We never put two groups together, so you never share the deck with strangers.

That changes the whole day. You pick the music. You stay longer at the spot you love and skip the one nobody wants. The kids can cool off in the air-conditioned cabin, and nobody waits for a slow snorkeler. Want to swim first and eat later? The captain works around you.

It also changes the math. Our prices are for the whole boat, not per person. A bigger group shares one price, so the cost per guest drops as the group grows.

A private boat suits the days that matter, too. We plan proposals, birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, bachelor and bachelorette groups and company outings. See private celebrations for how it works.

What's included on every trip

Every booking includes:

• The private boat, your group only
• Captain, crew and fuel
• Soft drinks, water and ice
• Snorkel masks and fins
• Towels
• A Bluetooth sound system and wifi on board
• A first aid kit, a seasickness kit and life jackets for children and infants

On board you have a toilet, a shaded lounge, an air-conditioned cabin, a freshwater shower and a grill.

Food and drinks come as a package. Basic is the boat, the captain, soft drinks and snorkel gear, and you are welcome to bring your own food and drinks. Grilling your own food on board isn't allowed. Standard adds a host, an Island Juice welcome drink, a basic open bar for the whole trip, food and a water toy. Luxury is Standard plus a butler for the whole trip, premium drinks of your choice and a more luxurious food spread with dessert. Standard and Luxury are priced per guest and shown when you book. They are charged for at least 4 guests, and children 4 to 12 pay half.

You can add more if you like. Hotel pickup is a premium SUV there and back, from anywhere on the island, $150 per SUV for up to 4 guests; tell us your hotel when you book. Our own jet skis are $450 each for the trip, up to 2. With the Content Creator Package, $300, one of our in-house content creators comes on board and shoots photos and video, drone shots included. A private chef is $750 and needs at least 3 days' notice; ask us on WhatsApp which trips it fits.

Not included: the 9% OB tax and tips. Tipping is up to you, depending on how you liked the crew. Please bring your own reef-safe sunscreen.

How to choose your trip

• Only have half a day? Snorkel & Chill, Snorkel & Coastline and the Sunset Cruise take three hours. Fuik Day takes four, and Cas Abou five.
• Traveling with kids or weak swimmers? Take Snorkel & Chill. Short hops, sheltered water, life vests and noodles, and crew in the water with you. It is the easiest trip for first-time snorkelers. Our snorkeling guide tells you more about the reefs.
• Want the island everyone talks about? Klein Curaçao is about an hour across open water each way, with white sand, a lighthouse and a shipwreck. The full day gives you about four and a half hours ashore and a reef stop on the way home.
• Prone to seasickness? Cas Abou and Westpunt Hopping run inshore along the sheltered west coast, much calmer than the Klein crossing.
• Beaches and turtles? Westpunt Hopping visits four beaches, in an order the captain sets on the day. Green turtles often feed at Playa Piskadó. They are wild, so we never promise them.
• Celebrating? The Sunset Cruise follows the coast to Handelskade, the colorful Willemstad waterfront, and turns back there as the sun goes down. On the way back we can drop you off at Mood Beach, Jan Thiel or Caracasbaai if you ask.
• A Sunday with music? Fuik Day puts your own boat in the middle of the Sunday party at Fuik Bay. It is loud and busy, which is the point.
• A plan of your own? Build a custom charter on any route, from $400 an hour.
