5.00Hilde and Norbert were amazing. We booked this sailboat tour with them and they were gracious hosts who made us feel welcome from the beginning. They work well together as a team and ensured every part of our tour was spectacular. Hilde made the snacks and appetizers and they were excellent. She also took pictures of us and sent them to us after the tour which we were so grateful for. The boat was meticulous and Norbert is a very good captain Thank you for making our day so memorable. We will definitely be back

5.00Wonderful experience! Norbert and Hilde are the best hosts! Beautiful boat, amazing food, all the supplies you’ll need for a great day. Waves were a bit rough for a portion of the trip but Norbert is a seasoned sailor and managed the waves with patience and tact. We would book again!
Peaceful and wonderful sailing experience

5.00We had a wonderful time on the boat yesterday. The hose are absolutely amazing. We felt like we made new friends. It is a super beautiful, low-key and extra fun experience. We enjoyed the sailing, wonderful food, and drink, and most, especially the snorkeling. If you are a group of 426 and one a private and absolutely relaxing experience, this is it.
Perfect Day Sailing in Curaçao — Wish We Booked Longer!

5.00We had the most incredible sailing experience with Maxie Sailing in Curaçao. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the captain and co-captain made us feel completely taken care of. They truly thought of everything and catered to every little detail so we could just relax and enjoy the day. There were five of us and we booked a half-day trip, which honestly flew by way too quickly. If I could do it again, I would absolutely book a longer sail. Being out on the water, watching the coastline, and feeling the wind in the sails was unforgettable. The food was fantastic, the drinks were flowing, and the entire experience felt effortless and fun. The crew created such a relaxed atmosphere that it felt like sailing with friends who happen to know exactly how to give you the perfect day on the water. If you’re visiting Curaçao, I cannot recommend Maxie Sailing enough. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and I’m already wishing we had booked a full day.
A terrific day on the water
