What to expect

You are expected to check in at Village Marina (Caracasbaai) at 8:00 am. After a brief briefing from the captain, the catamaran departs at 8:30 am, and the fun begins right away as you sail out across the Spaanse Water and breakfast sandwiches are served. Before long, you’ll leave the city behind and sail past all kinds of beautiful beaches and idyllic coves along the west coast. Three stops will be made:

Kokomo

One of Curacao’s most popular beaches. The boat anchors in the bay after which you can enjoy swimming and snorkeling. Along the rocks on the side you will find the smallest beach in Curacao. A wonderful start to the day!

Cas Abou

Cas Abao Beach is a must see! This beach has been named among the best beaches in the world by National Geographic and others. Swim, snorkel and relax. Meanwhile, the crew on board will prepare a delicious BBQ lunch for you.

Blue Room

After lunch we head to Blue Room, a cave accessible only by sea where the sun and sky transform this underwater cave into a beautiful “blue room.” Under the guidance of the crew, you can explore this beautiful cave.

Back by bus

After Blue Room, the catamaran continues on toward Westpunt, Playa Kalki. At Playa Kalki, the bus will be waiting to take you back to the city. Unique! This is the only West Coast catamaran trip that takes you back to the city by bus. That has a major advantage: no chance for motion sickness, which is a risk when sailing from Westpunt toward the city (always against the current).
Around 05:30 pm you will be back at Village Marina and the tour will come to an end. No doubt you had a wonderful day!

Included in this excursion

  • Boat trip towards Westcoast of 9 hours
  • breakfast + BBQ lunch + Open Bar
  • Fresh fruit as a snack between meals
  • Snorkeling stop at Kokomo Beach, Cas Abou and Blue Room
  • Use of snorkeling kit
  • Bus ride back from Playa Kalki to the city

Why is this trip a must?

  • The only Westcoast trip that actually sails to West Point (Playa Kalki). You’ll see most of the beaches!
  • Because you always sail outward with the current and return by bus. The only catamaran trip with no chance of seasickness.
  • This is the most popular West Coast trip, the only one that goes 3x a week.

Other info

Bring your own

  • Swimwear, towel
  • Sunscreen and other sun protection (e.g., cap, UV shirt, etc.). Really bring some, it can get very hot in the sun in the afternoon!

Open Bar

The Open Bar includes—as much as you want—soft drinks, water, juices, rum, vodka, beer, wine, and Blue Curaçao.
Alcohol is served starting at 12:30 pm.

Ontbijt & bbq-lunch

Breakfast is available immediately after leaving port. In the cabin you will find ham and cheese sandwiches, plus coffee/tea/juices.
The bbq lunch consists of tenderloin, grilled chicken (wraps), chorizo sausages, pesto pasta salad, fresh green salad, garlic bread.
Vega is possible, but only if indicated at least one day in advance: fish, veggie burgers.

Blue Room

A few times a year it may not be possible to enter the Blue Room cave. This may be because of too strong currents/high waves, or if there are too many jellyfish. If this is the case, the alternative will be to stop at Playa Piskado, where with a little luck you can swim among the turtles.

Payment

You are required to pay a deposit when making a reservation. You will be sent a payment link for the balance, which must be paid no later than 48 hours before departure. If the balance is not paid on time, the booking can be cancelled without the right to a refund.

Tips

  • Bring sun protection with you. A cap, sun hat, UV shirt, a thin cloth, etc. Especially in the afternoon, it can get very hot on the boat and you will be glad for every bit of sun protection.
  • If you go back by bus, there are no drinks available on the bus. Take care of this yourself by grabbing 1 or 2 cans of drinks just before you disembark at Playa Kalki.
  • On the way back, the bus already passes some accommodations that are on the route for guests who had booked a transfer. If you don’t feel like sitting out the whole bus ride, book the transfer yourself.

Change or cancel

A booking for this Westcoast trip ‘Beaches, BBQ & Blue Room’ you can change or cancel completely free of charge can be done up to 48 hours in advance. If it is already within 48 hours before the booked date then charges may apply.
