Private boat trips for LionsDive and Royal Sea Aquarium Resort guests at Mambo Beach

From Mambo Beach to the boat in about 20 minutes

LionsDive Beach Resort and The Royal Sea Aquarium Resort both sit at Mambo Beach. Every trip leaves from Fisherman's Harbor, Caracasbaai 1, on Spanish Water. Locals also call it Vissershaven. From Mambo Beach the drive takes about 20 minutes, a little longer at rush hour. We send the exact meeting point before your trip, by email and WhatsApp.

Rather not drive? Add hotel pickup when you book and tell us your hotel. A premium SUV takes you to the harbor and brings you back to the hotel after the trip. It costs $150 per car, with up to 4 guests in each car. For trips that board at 07:45, pickup is around 07:00. You get your exact pickup time by WhatsApp and in your booking confirmation.

Driving yourself? Parking at the harbor is free, though it gets busy on Sundays. No car yet? You can rent one from Rent Car Curaçao Deals. More in our Fisherman's Harbor guide.

Every trip is private. The boat, the captain and the crew are for your group only, never shared with strangers. Discover Curaçao is an independent boat charter company and is not affiliated with LionsDive Beach Resort or The Royal Sea Aquarium Resort.

End the Sunset Cruise at Mood Beach

If you do one trip from Mambo Beach, make it this one. You leave the harbor at 16:00 and cruise Spanish Water past the mansions and mangroves, with a swim stop around 17:00. Then the boat runs along the coast all the way to Handelskade, the colorful Willemstad waterfront, and turns back there as the sun goes down.

On the way back, on request, we drop you off at Mood Beach, right at Mambo Beach. So instead of riding back to the harbor, you finish the evening at Mambo Beach, where you are staying. Just ask for the Mood Beach drop-off when you book, or tell us on WhatsApp.

The cruise is 3 hours, from $850 for the whole private boat, and the boat is back at the harbor at 19:00. We don't drop guests off at Handelskade. See the Sunset Cruise.

The captain, fuel, towels, snorkel masks and fins, soft drinks, water, ice, a first aid kit, child and infant life jackets and a seasickness kit are all included. Just bring swimwear and your own reef-safe sunscreen.

Choose a food and drink package when you book. With Basic, you are welcome to bring your own food and drinks. Grilling your own food on board isn't allowed. Standard and Luxury add a host, a bar and food on board.

Bigger groups, more time and celebrations

Our Scout 355 is the default boat and takes up to 14 guests. For up to 18, the Scout 420 is 42 feet and smoother in a swell. It books online for trips from November 15, 2026. Before that, ask us on WhatsApp. Its boat price and food packages are 25% above the Scout 355, and other add-ons cost the same. Meet the fleet.

Want longer on the water? An extra hour on a set trip is $300 on the Scout 355 and $400 on the Scout 420. An early departure or a late return is $125 each; ask when you book.

We also host birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, proposals, bachelor and bachelorette groups and company outings. With the Content Creator Package, $300, one of our three in-house content creators comes on board and shoots photos and video, drone shots included. More on our private celebrations page.

Cancel for any reason up to 7 days before your trip for a full refund. Less than 7 days before, there is no refund. See our cancellation policy. The captain makes the weather call. If we cancel, you reschedule or take a full refund, never a voucher. The details are in our terms.
