Our Sea Safaris
Full Coast Sea Safari
The ultimate one-day adventure — Tugboat, Blue Room, turtles at Piskado, and beach hopping along the west coast.
A full day along Curaçao's west coast aboard our custom 50 feet Rupert 50 RIB Boat — 5,500 kg of solid hull and stable handling, even in chop. We work our way from Caracasbaai to Westpunt at a relaxed pace, stopping at three signature snorkel sites and four beaches you'd miss without a boat: the Tugboat shipwreck (5m, 1946), Kokomo Beach at Vaersenbaai, the Blue Room sea cave when conditions allow, sea turtles at Playa Piskadó, then Playa Kalki, Grote Knip, and Kleine Knip. Each beach has its own feel — shaded palapas, a snorkel cove, white sand, quiet water. A Caribbean lunch and our signature cocktail on board. Multilingual crew, beginners and families welcome.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the Full Coast Sea Safari and what time does it depart?+
Seven hours total — departure at 08:30 from Caracasbaai, return around 15:30. The schedule covers three signature snorkel sites and four beaches at a relaxed pace, with a Caribbean lunch served on board mid-tour. Same boat both ways; no bus transfer.
Where do I meet the boat for the Full Coast Sea Safari?+
Caracasbaai marina on the south-east coast, about 20 minutes by car from Willemstad and 25 minutes from the cruise port. Free on-site parking. Arrive 15 minutes before departure for check-in and a short safety briefing. Cruise passengers can book a hotel-pickup add-on at booking; otherwise taxi from Mega Pier runs about USD 25.
What does the Full Coast Sea Safari cover that the Half Day Safari doesn't?+
Four west-coast beaches you can't reach by car (Kokomo, Playa Kalki, Grote Knip, Kleine Knip) plus extended snorkel time at each of the three signature sites. The Half Day hits the same Tugboat + Blue Room + turtles trio in 3.5 hours; the Full Coast adds 3.5 more hours of beach-hopping along the Westpunt coast. Choose Half Day if you only have a cruise stop; Full Coast if you have a free day.
Is the Full Coast Sea Safari suitable for non-swimmers or beginners?+
Yes for both. Flotation vests are provided free; the snorkel sites are 5–10 m deep with calm leeward water, and the crew gives a short in-water orientation for first-timers. Non-swimmers can stay on the boat at each stop and still enjoy the beach landings. The Tugboat shipwreck is visible in 5 m clear water — even floating face-down with a vest works.
Can children join the Full Coast Sea Safari, and from what age?+
Children from 6 years welcome on the standard Full Coast Sea Safari. Ages 4–12 pay a child price. Under 4 we recommend a private charter for flexibility (nap windows, shorter routes). The full 7-hour day is best suited to ages 8 and up; for younger kids the Half Day Safari is the lighter option. Junior snorkel gear is on board, but bringing a properly fitted child mask from home gives the best experience.
Will I get seasick on the Full Coast Sea Safari?+
Far less likely than on a typical Caribbean day-boat. The Rupert 50 is a heavy-displacement RIB (5,500 kg) on a planing hull — at speed it skims over wave crests instead of pitching through them, which is what triggers seasickness on lighter boats. The leeward (west) coast is sheltered from the Atlantic swell. Most Curaçao operators end up bussing guests back over land because their boats can't comfortably make the return leg; we run round-trip by boat both ways.
What's included in the USD 139 Full Coast Sea Safari ticket?+
Snorkel gear (mask, fins, flotation vest), bottled water and soft drinks all day, local Curaçao beer (Montana Blond + Amstel Bright), wine, hard seltzers, our signature Seafari cocktail, fresh snacks between stops, full Caribbean lunch on board, and the multilingual crew. You bring swimwear, towel, and reef-safe sunscreen — that's it. No surprise add-ons or upsells.
What's the cancellation and weather policy for the Full Coast Sea Safari?+
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure — full refund. Within 24 hours: 50% refund. If we cancel because of weather, mechanical issues, or safety: 100% refund or free reschedule, no questions asked. You'll get a phone call by 07:00 on tour day if conditions force a change. Curaçao's stable climate means actual cancellations run under 5% of the year.
How is Seafari's Full Coast Sea Safari different from other Curaçao west-coast tours?+
Two structural differences. (1) Round-trip by boat — most operators run guests one-way to Westpunt and bus them back over land because their lighter boats can't handle the return leg comfortably. (2) Geographic coverage — Caracasbaai (Tugboat) and Westpunt (Blue Room, Piskadó) are 50 km apart; lighter boats specialize in one end or the other. Seafari's Rupert 50 has the hull and speed to run the full leeward coast and hit all three iconic sites in a single tour.
What do I need to bring on the Full Coast Sea Safari beyond swimwear?+
Reef-safe sunscreen (mineral-based, not oxybenzone — protects the coral), a towel, sunglasses with a strap, and a light rain layer for the rare passing shower. Optional: an underwater camera or GoPro for the Tugboat and Blue Room. Skip cash and valuables — secure storage is on the boat but the day is wet. Snorkel gear, flotation vests, drinks, and lunch are all on us.
