What To Expect
Curacao
If you are interested in sight seeing and just relaxing on the boat, we will tour through Spanish Waters (which is located on the East side of the island). This area of the island is home to many marinas, some impressive houses and nature with its mangrove area as well as beautiful landscape with coral stone rock formations and its view of Tafelberg. The max amount of sight seeing is about 1 hour. Of course this time can be adjusted to your wishes.
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.

The best snorkeling trip in Curacao

5.00Our trip with Bettina and Marc couldn’t have been more perfect! They were gracious hosts and took very good care of us. This trip was all about what we wanted to do. No crowds, no guides yelling at you and telling where you could swim and where you could not. The snorkeling spots had an abundance of sea life. We were the only ones at each spot. They had a cooler for the drinks we brought, a wet bag for all our valuables and electronics. Both Marc and Bettina were very knowledgable about the island. We will definitely be back. We recommend this trip for anyone wanting a wonderful, personalized, experience on the water in Curacao. Bettina and Marc treat you like you are old friends. Dushi!
Amazing !

5.00What a lovely afternoon we had! The tour guides were so friendly and accommodating, particularly with our little five-year-old. We went to a few different snorkel sites, all of which provide provided plenty of fish and coral to see. The boat trip was definitely one of the highlights of our week!
Fun for the family and friends!

5.00Second time with Marc and Bettina and we loved it even more this time around. We did the combination 4 hour snorkeling and Zup/wake boarding and it was a blast. They take very good care of you and are very attentive during the excursion. We cannot recommend them enough and it’s well worth your time visiting Curacao to join them on a trip.
Had a wonderful day!

5.00This was the perfect afternoon activity for our family of 6! Bettina and Marc were great hosts and the communication during the entire process was perfect. We went to two different snorkeling spots that were great to see fish and coral. We even saw a sea turtle at one of the spots along with other colorful fish. At one of the snorkeling locations we were the only group there, which made it a great and personal experience. Bettina and Marc were very gracious at sharing their knowledge of the island while we traveled to and from the locations which really personalized the trip for us. We highly recommend this experience!
Amazing time and great hosts!

Curacao snorkeling and sightseeing
Gail-NY,Feb 16, 2026

5.00The boat was well maintained, very clean, comfortable and handled with the passengers safety and comfort foremost in mind. Bettina and Marc are extremely customer focused, engaging and try to accommodate the customer’s preferences. We wanted to focus on snorkeling and were taken to three excellent snorkeling spots for a “triple dip.” One, in particular, can only be accessed by boat when conditions permit, was spectacular with an abundance of healthy corals. They are very knowledgeable about Curacao and provided a lot of interesting information during the sightseeing portion around Spanish Waters. I recommend this excursion without reservation and expect to book another trip when we return to Curacao.
Perfect day on the water

5.00First mate Patina and Captain Mark took great care of us, understanding what we wanted (fewer crowds, more unspoiled reef accessible for two families with 9-year-old children). They made sure we were always comfortable showed us snorkeling spots we visited again during our trip. Thank you both so much!
