Willemstad: Klein Curaçao Catamaran Yacht Tour
About This Experience
The Gold Seahorse is a catamaran yacht rather than a passenger ferry, and the trip is sold on that difference: teak side decks, cushioned sun beds, a wheelhouse you are welcome to join the captain in, and a restroom aboard. It leaves from Kima Kalki Marina on Spanish Water, a sheltered inlet behind Brakkeput Ariba.
The operator describes reaching Klein Curaçao after about an hour of sailing along the coast. You pick up the pink lighthouse and the shipwreck a few minutes before you arrive, and the fishermen's huts resolve out of the scrub as you close the beach.
Lunch is the part guests write about. It is a barbecue built around filet mignon, loin ribs, salmon and chicken, with potato salad, corn on the cob, vegetable salad, baguette and prawn crackers alongside — served from the boat rather than from a beach house, since this operator does not run one. Breakfast, soft drinks, snacks and bottled water are in the fare too.
Snorkel equipment is provided and the reef off the west beach holds a real chance of turtles. Alcohol is bought aboard: cocktails are $10 and mocktails $8, payable by card.

okay so on the way there they say you’re going to get wet, then it changed to “soaked”(which is true) so watch out! nothing that’s in their control however it felt a little misleading. everything else was nice and comfortable i’d definitely recommend, it was a blast

We had a cancellation due to bad weather but we were rescheduled two days later. Better safe than sorry! Remember that if you get easily sea sick take precautions although they give you a happy bag 😅 The boat is comfortable and the staff made it so much more enjoyable. The food was simply incredible, very well balanced and super tasty! I can only recommend the tour to anyone!

The crew was incredibly nice. The island was lovely. The trip was very bumpy. I’d say 25% of the boat got seasick. So if you’re going to do this, you need to have seasick medication for your entire group. The crew was very thoughtful and helped all those that were sick. The sand was so soft. The water is so blue. The food was delicious. The drinks were plentiful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Gold Seahorse catamaran a smoother ride to Klein Curaçao?
A catamaran's two hulls reduce the rolling motion that a single-hulled boat makes in a beam sea, which is what most people mean by a rough crossing here. It does not remove the pitching over a head swell. The operator excludes people with back or heart problems and pregnant women outright, which is a fair signal that the outward leg can be lively.
Does this Klein Curaçao trip have a beach house?
No. All Boat Charters serves its barbecue lunch from the boat rather than from a beach house on the island. If a building with shade, tables and a shower matters to your day, the Mermaid and Miss Ann trips both include exclusive beach-house access and this one does not.
Is there a toilet on board?
Yes — the listing names a restroom on board as an inclusion. On a crossing of roughly an hour each way plus a full day at anchor, that is worth confirming before you book, because it is not universal across the boats running this route.
What does the barbecue lunch actually include?
Filet mignon, loin ribs, salmon and chicken, served with potato salad, corn on the cob, vegetable salad, baguette and prawn crackers. Breakfast, soft drinks, snacks and bottled water are also in the fare; alcohol is bought separately aboard.
