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.

1 hour • Admission Not Applicable

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.

This was one of our favorite experiences on our trip. Bettina & Marc greeted us at the dock and had even brought some beer that we had requested. After, asking us what we'd like to see and do we settled into the boat. We stopped at two different snorkeling spots, both of which were great! After snorkeling, they dropped us off at a nice waterfront restaurant and they waited on their boat while we had a nice lunch. After lunch, we did a leisurely cruise around Spanish Waters bay. We ended up finishing a tad earlier than they expected, so they didn't even charge us for the beers we had ordered. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Bettina & Mark gave us an amazing day! Tailored our trip to the group's preferences and were extremely flexible with some windy weather conditions. They were both a treat to talk with and shared a lot of knowledge and recommendations around the island. We will be back!
The best most awesome boat trip to be found in Curacao is from Battina and Marc of TRIP AND TREAT (VIP Boat Tours).

We highly recommend chartering a boat with Battina and Marc of TRIP AND TREAT- VIP Boat Tours for our personal experience was beyond awesome. They made our three- hour boating trip fun, safe, and so memorable. They are truly professional boaters who handle their customers with care and flexibility. Battina and Marc presented us with many options of what our boating experience could be and asked us to communicate our individual preferences before proceeding. They then tailor made the trip to our specific requests, giving us a boating trip which perfectly reflected and exceeded our family's expectations. Additionally, their boat is clean, shiny, and well-kept, another indication of their professionalism. When we go back to Curacao, Battina and Marc will be on our 'to list' once again! It was a beautiful experience.
Great snorkeling!

This was the highlight of my trip. I had debated between this and a sunset cruise and so glad I chose this. Bettina and Mark had a cooler full of ice ready for us. We brought our own food and drinks which was awesome (my child has food allergies) and had a picnic on the boat. They gave us a few suggestions on activities and allowed us to choose what we wanted to do and for how long. Both are very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Highly recommend this over a large group excursion.

Bettina and Marc are the perfect hosts! Marc navigated the windy and choppy waters perfectly, Bettina was always making sure we were comfortable and filling us in on the history and happenings of beautiful Curacao. We couldn’t have asked for a better day! Perfect communication, clean, comfy and safe boat, and overall wonderful day! Thank you so much!
