Miss Ann Boat Trips Curaçao Review
Miss Ann pairs a motor-yacht crossing of about an hour with a beach house on Klein Curaçao. What the $155 day includes, the weekend upgrade, and what guests report.
Miss Ann combines a motor-yacht crossing with a dedicated beach-house base on Klein Curaçao. The day costs $155, holds 4.8 out of 5 from 249 reviews on our booking partner, and the operator quotes about an hour each way from Marina Santa Barbara. Most of the review praise goes to the crew and the food, and the complaints that do appear are about the sea on the way out.

What stands out
The beach house is the reason to book this boat. The operator lists it as a full-service set-up, and the listing includes:
- beach beds and shade
- restrooms and a freshwater shower
- a restaurant and buffet area
- a beach bar with swings
- a massage area and a dive school
- breakfast, a barbecue lunch and a guided snorkel safari
On an island with no mains water and no shop, the difference between a shower before the ride home and no shower makes two very different afternoons. Diving, massage and gear rental are bookable on the island for a fee.
One caution on the facilities. The listing names restrooms and a shower, but a reviewer in August 2026 gave four stars partly because there was no bathroom on the day, one was being built, and there was nowhere private to change. Ask the operator what is in place for your date if that matters to you.
Two versions of the day
The weekday tour serves a freshly made breakfast of sandwiches, scrambled eggs, salads and fruit with coffee or tea, then a three-piece barbecue lunch with corn on the cob, salads and fruit. It finishes with a rum punch happy hour on the way back. The premium open bar is a $35 add-on.
The Weekend Supreme option upgrades the food to egg, tuna and chicken salad sandwiches and a lunch of fish stew with beef and chicken skewers, and includes the premium open bar from 12:30 to 18:00. If you plan to buy the bar anyway, the weekend option is the one to price up. Dietary requests for the barbecue lunch can be made ahead of time.
The crossing
The motor-yacht format is faster than many large catamarans, though the sea can still be rough. Klein Curaçao is about 15 miles offshore, and the outward leg runs into the wind and swell.
Guests describe it both ways. One reviewer found the hour-long ride relaxing with lovely sea views, though a couple of people were sick. Another went on a calm day and still saw many people seasick, and took tablets beforehand. A parent wrote that their daughter was frightened by the big waves, and that a crew member calmed her down. The listing states the trip is not suitable for people who are strongly prone to seasickness on open water.
Take motion-sickness medication before boarding. Which boat and which seat help most. One reviewer reported going ashore by dinghy in groups, so allow time on arrival.
Getting there and what it costs
Check-in opens 30 minutes before departure at Marina Santa Barbara, and one reviewer arrived around 7 a.m. for a departure a little after 7:30. It is about 25 minutes by road from central Willemstad, and hotel transfers are not included, so book a taxi the night before. Where each boat leaves from.
The $155 fare includes the return crossing, the beach house, breakfast, barbecue lunch, the guided snorkel safari with mask and snorkel, juice, soft drinks and water. Gratuities, massage, diving and the weekday premium bar are extra. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before departure.
Best for
Families, couples and travellers who want comfort without giving up a substantial boat experience. The shorter crossing and the shade and shower on the island make it easier for a mixed group than a boat with a bare beach. Klein Curaçao with kids.
It is a weaker match if you want the cheapest fare with drinks included, which is Irie Tours at $140, or the deepest review record on the route, which belongs to the Mermaid. Mermaid reviewed.
Verdict
Miss Ann is one of the most complete all-round Klein Curaçao options. You get the shortest crossing among the beach-house boats, the fullest facilities on the island as the operator describes them, and a choice between a weekday and a weekend day. Weigh that against a rough outward leg and one recent report of missing bathroom facilities. Which boat suits you.

Pick Your Boat, Then Check the Date
Crossing time, group size, shade, toilets and what lunch actually looks like differ more between these boats than the price does. Compare them, then check availability for your date.
