What To Expect
Step aboard our elegant 48-ft sailing yacht Galaxie for a beautiful morning or afternoon private sailing experience with snorkeling, delicious food, drinks & relaxed cruising - always crowd-free and exclusively reserved for your group. Your tour begins with a scenic cruise through the serene Spanish Waters, passing the St. Barbara area before heading onto the blue Caribbean Sea to the secluded beauty of Fuik Bay. Accessible only by boat, Fuik Bay is a calm and sheltered natural bay perfect for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing on board. We anchor at swimming distance of the shore, giving you plenty of time to snorkel among the mangroves, discover colourful marine life, or simply unwind on deck while enjoying delicious Mediterranean-style food and refreshing drinks. Keep an eye out for sea turtles surfacing in their natural habitat, as well as tropical fish, starfish and sometimes even rays while snorkeling. After a relaxing stay in the bay, we begin our soothing sail back to the harbour. If conditions allow, we’ll raise the genua sail for a smooth and memorable journey across the Caribbean Sea, accompanied by breathtaking coastal views and/or the gorgeous golden hour of sunset.

5.00Absolutely amazing!!!! We are an American family of 5, and we don’t typically book excursions but we wanted to try something new. We knew the reviews were great but this was well above our expectations. The hosts provide beverages, delicious food and are extremely knowledgeable of the island. The perfect balance of “tour” and private family memories. The hosts also coordinated the taxi for us from our hotel to the harbor. Book this experience 10/10!!!
A lovely cruise

5.00People always gush about certain excursions this one was truly awesome Hilde and her husband made the trip so easy. They were able to arrange for the transfer to the harbor for us which made the port exit easy and stress free. Once on the boat you get they fill you in on the history of the area. You are transported to a protected bay where the snorkeling is awesome. We were essentially alone the whole time. Hilde made us a homemade lunch that was literally devoured by my family it was delicious. Everything was provided including snorkeling gear noodles etc. We were given great advice as to places to explore in the port on the way back. I highly recommended this excursion to anyone traveling to Curaçao. This was an amazing experience

5.00Pure relaxation. We would highly recommend this excursion. We were in port on a cruise. Hilde and Norbert were gracious hosts on a beautiful boat that they take great pride in. No worries from the moment we left the port and our return. We had Hilde line up transportation to and from the ship for us. The charcuterie provided was enjoyed by all. The water and the snorkel area was beautiful. It was refreshing to have an excursion experience like we had. Thanks again to Hilde and Norbert.
Total relaxation aboard a beautiful sailboat!

5.00We had a fabulous day sailing around the coast of curaçao with Maxie Sailing. Hilde and Norbert were gracious hosts and great communicators. We were picked up at Sandals resort and escorted to the marina. We had a short safety briefing and sailed to a lovely, private cove and beach where stopped for a swim. We saw sea turtles and a flock of flying flamingos! We toasted with Prosecco and were served other beverages, as well as fresh fruit salad and a gorgeous charcuterie board. I highly recommend this private tour!
Best Sailing Experience!

5.00This experience was above and beyond what we expected. Maxie sailing was top notch and a must do! Hilde & Norbert were the best hosts from the first contact until they dropped us back off. The experience was priceless and so personal. We were surprising our friend for her 50th birthday. They had champagne upon arrival and decorations for our friend’s birthday. The snacks were homemade and so delicious. They both made this experience so relaxing and fun. We loved every minute of this beautiful private boat ride. I would highly recommend you take the time to book them in Curaçao! You will not be disappointed. We will definitely book again.
Perfect sailing experience!

5.00We enjoyed our time sailing in Curacao with Maxie Sailing. Hilde and Norbert were very welcoming and are fabulous hosts! We enjoyed champagne, fresh fruit, an amazing charcuterie board and great conversation. Snorkeling was enjoyable and the best part was that we had the cove to ourselves the entire time. Booking was easy and communication was great. The excursion exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend. We will definitely book again!
10/10 recommend

5.00We had a fantastic time on our sailing. Hilde and her husband could not have been more welcoming. The boat is parked at a beautiful marina and is in great shape. (If coming from the cruise port it’s about a 35min ride) Hilde coordinated a taxi ride to and from the port for a very reasonable cost. We had two children (ages 4 & 14) and they were great with both of them. The boat accommodated the 4 of us very well, we never felt as if we didn’t have enough room. The boat does have a restroom which was very clean. We showed up to the boat with nothing but our swimsuits on. Towels, snorkel gear, drinks, and snacks were all provided. At two different points on our sailing Hilde provided home made snacks. The initial snack was delicious fruit and the final was a charcuterie type board. The board was AMAZING and Hilde homemade most of the items. 10/10 recommend putting this one on your list of must do excursions. We will absolutely be back the next time we are on the island.
