Private boat trips for guests of Mangrove Beach Corendon Curaçao

From the Rif side of Willemstad to the boat in about 25 to 30 minutes

Mangrove Beach Corendon sits on Pater Euwensweg, on the Otrobanda and Rif side of Willemstad. Every trip leaves from Fisherman's Harbor, Caracasbaai 1, on Spanish Water. From the resort, the drive is about 25 to 30 minutes, longer at rush hour. We send the exact meeting point before your trip, by email and WhatsApp. Our Fisherman's Harbor guide has more on the harbor.

Every trip is private. The boat, the captain and the crew are for your group only, never shared with strangers. Staying at another hotel in this part of town? See our Otrobanda guide.

Hotel pickup in a premium SUV

Add hotel pickup when you book, and tell us you are staying at Mangrove Beach Corendon or The Rif at Mangrove Beach. A premium SUV drives you to the harbor and brings you back to the resort after the trip. It costs $150 per car, with up to 4 guests in each car, so a group of 6 needs two cars, $300.

Trips that leave at 08:00 board at 07:45, so 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. If you don't book pickup, you arrange your own way to the harbor and back.

All-inclusive? The Basic package is often enough

If your meals and drinks are covered at the resort, you may not need food on the boat. The Basic package includes the boat, the captain, soft drinks, water, ice and snorkel gear. 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, priced per guest and shown when you book.

Half days fit neatly around resort time. Leave at 08:00 on a 3 hour trip and you are back at the harbor by 11:00.

How booking works

Pick a trip and a date online. A 50% deposit holds your date, and the balance is due 48 hours before departure. Trips less than a week away are paid in full.

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. Weather is the captain's call on the morning. If we cancel, you choose a new date or a full refund, never a voucher. The details are in our terms.
