Catamaran, Yacht or Powerboat to Klein Curacao?
Five questions that decide between a catamaran, a yacht, a catamaran yacht, a full-day boat and a powerboat to Klein Curacao: crossing time, where the day is spent, who may go, what is included, price.
Five kinds of boat go to Klein Curacao, and the type matters less than the operator’s choices about time, food and drink. Still, the type tells you some things: the powerboat is the fastest and sometimes very bumpy, the yacht is a quick crossing to a beach house, and the catamarans make the boat part of the day. The catamaran with the open bar included is Irie Tours’ Curacao: Klein Curacao Catamaran Day Trip with Snorkeling, from $140 a person (checked November 2026).
The calendar is Irie Tours’ catamaran, with 132 reviews (checked November 2026).
1. How long is each boat on the open sea?
As stated for each boat: the powerboat, under an hour; the yacht and the catamaran yacht, roughly an hour each; Irie Tours’ catamaran, an hour to an hour and a half; Mermaid’s 6:45 AM boat, two hours out of Spanish Water. Reviewers of the yacht have timed it at 1 hour 15 minutes to about 1.5 hours, and one of them (9 October 2026) chose it because the shorter trip helps on a rough sea. Shorter is not the same as smoother, though: the powerboat’s ride is “very bumpy” at times.
2. Where do you spend the day?
On the catamarans the boat is part of it: breakfast on the way out and, on Irie Tours’ day, an open bar from 12:30 PM; two reviewers place lunch on board. All Boat Charters’ catamaran yacht invites guests up to the captain’s deck on the way out, and serves lunch on board too, by its reviewers’ account. On the yacht, the boat is mostly the crossing and the day happens at Miss Ann boat trips' beach house. On the powerboat, lunch is on the beach.
3. Who may not go?
This is where the types really differ, and each boat draws its own line:
