Curacao: Sunset Catamaran Cruise with Open Bar
About This Experience
Two and a half hours on the water at the end of the day, out of Caracas Bay. The catamaran works its way through Spanish Water Bay first — Table Mountain on the skyline, waterfront houses down the inlets — then heads out to open sea for the sunset itself.
If the weather and sea state allow, the boat runs on towards St Anna Bay, which gives you Willemstad's waterfront from the water rather than from the Handelskade. That leg is conditional, not promised.
The open bar is the point as much as the light is: water, sodas, juice, rum, vodka, blue Curaçao, white and rosé wine and beer, with three kinds of finger food circulating. It is included rather than sold aboard.
For anyone who has written off the Klein Curaçao crossing after reading about the swell, this is the boat trip that asks almost nothing of you — short, inshore, late in the day, and cheaper than every full-day option by a wide margin.

It was everything I hoped for and more!! The captain and crew were so much fun! I loved that they came around and made sure we had drinks in one hand and a bite to eat in the other! The music was so good, I danced the entire cruise!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the sunset cruise go to Klein Curaçao?
No. It stays in Spanish Water Bay and the coastal water immediately outside it, with a possible run towards St Anna Bay. Klein Curaçao is 15 miles offshore and only the full-day boats go there.
Is the open bar really included?
Yes — water, sodas, juice, rum, vodka, blue Curaçao, white and rosé wine and beer are part of the fare, along with three kinds of finger food. That is unusual at this price on Curaçao.
Will we see Willemstad from the water?
Only if conditions allow. The operator runs towards St Anna Bay when weather and sea state permit, which gives the Handelskade from the harbour side, but it is listed as conditional rather than guaranteed.
