★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 378 reviews · from $75Our pick

Sail from Spanish Water to the open Caribbean and along Curaçao’s coast on a 2.5-hour catamaran cruise. You’ll get an open bar, light snacks, music, deck and net seating, and sunset views toward St. Anna Bay. Departures leave Irie Tours in Jan Thiel at 5:00 pm, with optional transfers for $15 per person.

“We loved this experience! From the smooth pick up (free shuttle bus for jan thiel) to the organisation of the crew, the drinks and the nibbles, I really recommend this. The captain of the catamaran took us around the Spanish Waters in the bay so it was nice and calm, then out onto the open ocean for the sunset time for about 20 minutes, so it was a good balance of both sailing areas. To note: I usually get seasick and wasn't seasick at all during this, if anyone is wondering for themselves & their ability to do it. The drinks were free flowing, beer, spirits and cocktails and we…”

The check-in and drop-off process was smooth and efficient, which set the tone for a great evening. As we boarded, we were warmly welcomed by the captain and crew, who immediately made us feel at home. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect—the boat began to sail just as the sun started to set, creating a truly breathtaking view.
