Private boat trips for Renaissance Wind Creek and Otrobanda guests

From Otrobanda to the boat in about 25 to 30 minutes

Every trip leaves from Fisherman's Harbor, Caracasbaai 1, on Spanish Water. Locals also call it Vissershaven. From Otrobanda, including Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao Resort, the drive is about 25 to 30 minutes, longer at rush hour.

Staying at Mangrove Beach Corendon, also on this side of town? It has its own page: boat trips from Mangrove Beach Corendon.

We send the exact meeting point before your trip, by email and WhatsApp. 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. Our Fisherman's Harbor guide has more.

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 Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao Resort or Mangrove Beach Corendon Curaçao All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton.

Hotel pickup in a premium SUV

Add hotel pickup when you book and tell us your hotel. A premium SUV takes you to the harbor and brings you back to your hotel after the trip. It costs $150 per car, with up to 4 guests in each car. Pickup works from anywhere on the island.

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.

If you don't book pickup, you arrange your own way to the harbor and back.

The Sunset Cruise runs all the way to Handelskade

From a hotel in town, this is the trip we would pick first. 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. That is the high point of the trip: the city you are staying in, seen from the sea at golden hour.

The cruise is 3 hours, back at the harbor at 19:00, from $850 for the whole private boat.

You stay on board at Handelskade, so the cruise is not a ride back to Otrobanda. The boat returns to the harbor. On request, we can drop you off along the way back, at Mood Beach (Mambo), Jan Thiel or Caracasbaai. See the Sunset Cruise.

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 when you book.

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.
