A private sunset sailing cruise on Spaanse Water, a sheltered lagoon in Curaçao known for its clear turquoise waters and lush green hills.

Rum, whiskey and vodka are included for guests 18 and older.

Step-by-step itinerary

Private sunset sailing cruise

• Board private boat in late afternoon
• Sail through Spaanse Water lagoon
• Enjoy views of Curacao coastline
• Watch vibrant sunset over water

The experience

The boat departs in the late afternoon and spends two hours on the water, with the return journey taking 50 minutes. Spaanse Water is a lagoon surrounded by green hills and lined with luxury yachts and sailboats, so you're sailing past a working harbor of moored boats as much as open water. The journey begins while there's still daylight on the Curaçao coastline, then transitions into the main event: the sunset itself, when the reflection of the sky on the water doubles the color.

Drinks are part of the booking (rum, whiskey and vodka for travelers 18 and up), so you're not buying rounds at a bar price. The boat is yours alone, which means no schedule pressure and no strangers deciding when to head back. A live guide speaks English, Spanish or Dutch depending on your group's preference.
