Curaçao: Private 68ft Yacht Charter & SnorkelingYou get a full 68-foot sailing yacht with no other passengers, snorkeling at Klein Curaçao or the Tugboat wreck, barbecue lunch and an open bar with rum punch, and complete control over where you go and when you leave. The crew handles the sailing; you decide the itinerary. Snorkeling gear is included, and you can arrange a taxi return if you want to stay longer ashore.Is it for me?Book this if your group wants a full day on the water without sharing the boat, coordinating with strangers, or sticking to someone else's schedule—the private charter is what makes all three possible in one day.
Snorkeling in Curaçao: Private boat trip, you set the paceA private snorkeling boat trip in Curaçao for up to 8 people, operating on the east side of the island around Spanish Waters and Caracasbaai. You decide the balance between snorkeling at the Tugboat Wreck and other reef sites, sightseeing through mangrove areas and coral stone formations, and beach time at Fuik Bay. The crew adjusts timing and stops to your group's pace rather than a fixed schedule. A 3-hour tour runs Tuesday through Sunday; a 4-hour option (Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays) gives more time at each location.Is it for me?Book the 3-hour tour if your schedule is tight and you want the Tugboat Wreck plus either sightseeing or a beach stop. The 4-hour option suits groups who want to snorkel multiple sites without feeling rushed, or who want sightseeing, snorkeling and beach time all in one trip.

The yacht is reserved for your group alone, with experienced captain and crew aboard every departure, and transfers from Sandals Royal Curaçao Resort are included.Is it for me?Book this if you're staying at Sandals or want a private morning without other groups—the yacht is reserved for your party alone, and the fixed three-hour window fits a first day or a half-day when you have the afternoon free. If you're traveling with young children or prefer to stay dry, the boat works just as well as a floating platform with food and shade while others snorkel.
