Fuik Day 2027 Curaçao

Fuik Day is always on the first Sunday in January. Unless that Sunday falls on January 1, then it will be a week later. So for 2027, it will be on Sunday, January 3, 2027.

Fuik Day is always held in Fuik bay. A beautiful bay on the east side of Curaçao. Fuik bay is located on a private property and is only accessible by sea. So it is not possible to get to Fuik Day by car, bike, public transport, walking, or anything else other than by boat. It is really only possible by water.

Fuik Day itself (the party) is actually free. You only pay a ticket for a boat to get there. And any boat that wants may sail right into Fuik bay and join Fuik Day. Most boats also allow you to bring your own food and drink, or food and drink is already included in your ticket. And remember to bring a floatie to float on because you’re not going to last a couple of hours treading water.

No, you cannot. Fuik Day is a celebration on the water in Fuik Bay. That bay is on private property that you, as a stranger, cannot just enter. The only access to Fuik Bay (and thus Fuik Day) is by sea.
And for the sake of completeness: That is not to swim or just float on your air mattress. You can only get to Fuik Day if you have arranged for a spot on a boat.

In doing so, don’t focus too much on the time your boat leaves in the morning. The party in Fuik Bay will erupt around 12:30 PM. Also on the boats that leave hours earlier. Of course it will be a party and fun in the morning hours as well, but most DJs will only play Jay in the afternoon.
At 5:00 PM the music goes off and the party is more or less over.
Make sure you get back to your boat on time, most boats don’t wait that long for stragglers!

You can try, but the chances are pretty slim. The boats have usually arranged full payment (well) in advance, so if people have paid US$ 310 p.p. or more for a ticket then there must be a very serious reason that they won’t show up and thus still offer a spot for you.

No, you can’t. Some boats might offer bottle service for their guests, but better bring everything yourself or be sure it is included within your ticket. There are no food trucks, bars, etc. at Fuik Day. You can’t buy anything there; you are completely dependent on the catering provided by your boat or what you bring yourself. And think of things like sunscreen, a floatie, etc. yourself.

Fuik Bay is big enough, but again, not unlimited in size and most importantly, not unlimited in depth. The big boats leave earlier in the day because it is more difficult for them to maneuver in the bay to get to the right place, side-by-side with the other (big) boats. And if they arrive too late, they won’t be able to get to the right place in the bay anyway.
For the smaller boats it is easier. They are easier to “park” somewhere and therefore do not have to leave so early.

Oh, no! Ooopsy…. too bad you were late getting back to the boat….
Try to go back with another boat. If that doesn’t work, you will have to swim to shore and walk back. And that is at least an hour’s walk in the heat of Curaçao, with probably a lot of booze and a floatie under your arm… good luck!
So…. be wise and rather be back at the boat 5 minutes early than 1 minute late.
