Half Day Safari

3.5 hours total, designed for cruise passengers. Departure from Marichi Pier in Punda, a 10-15 minute walk from the cruise terminal. Morning departure 08:30 (back 12:00) or afternoon departure 13:00 (back 16:30). On cruise days the departure is planned so you are back at the pier 90 minutes before all-aboard.

Same route, different food and light. Morning (08:30–12:00): light Caribbean breakfast on board (fresh tropical fruit, croissants, yogurt) and the calmest water of the day, so the snorkel visibility is highest. Afternoon (13:00–16:30): light lunch (gourmet sandwiches, fruit, chips), softer light for photography, and you finish in time for an early dinner. Both options end with the signature Seafari cocktail.

Yes, all three signature sites in one tour. Tugboat shipwreck (5 m) at Caracasbaai for the easy reef snorkel; the Blue Room sea cave at Westpunt when ocean conditions allow safe entry; sea turtles at Playa Piskadó where they feed on seagrass in shallow water year-round. Plus a stop at Kleine Knip for white sand and a swim.

Each snorkel stop runs 25–40 minutes: long enough to descend, do a slow loop, and resurface unhurried. The Rupert 50's speed (planing at 30–35 knots) keeps transit time short, so the in-water time is what fills the schedule, not the ride. If you want longer, slower, more beach-hopping time, the Full Coast Sea Safari extends the same route into a full day.

Yes. At booking, enter your ship name and arrival date. We plan the departure so you are back at Marichi Pier, a 10-15 minute walk from the cruise terminals, 90 minutes before all-aboard, and we contact you if your ship's schedule changes. If your ship cancels its Curaçao call, you get a 100% refund.

Time + budget decide. Cruise stop or single afternoon free: Half Day (USD 99, 3.5 hours, all three signature sites). Full vacation day available: Full Coast Sea Safari (USD 139, about 7.5 hours, same three sites plus four west-coast beaches you can only reach by boat). Travelling with kids 4–8: Half Day is the lighter option. Photography-focused or honeymooners: Full Coast for the wider variety of locations.

Morning (08:30): light breakfast. Fresh tropical fruit, croissants, yogurt. Afternoon (13:00): light lunch. Gourmet sandwiches, fresh tropical fruit, chips. Both include unlimited bottled water, soft drinks, local Curaçao beer (Montana Blond, Amstel Bright), wine, hard seltzers, and the signature Seafari cocktail. Dietary restrictions accommodated with 24 hours notice at booking.

Both, yes. The boat has stable seating, sun shade, and grab handles; the leeward water is calm. Kids from age 6 are welcome on the standard tour (6–12 pay child price); junior gear on board. Seniors with mobility limits should mention any concerns at booking: the crew assists with boarding from the dock and can adjust snorkel-stop timing. Pregnant guests in third trimester should consult a doctor before booking.

Yes. If your cruise line shifts the Curaçao port time, message us via WhatsApp or email: we move you to the matching departure (morning ↔ afternoon) at no charge, subject to availability. If your ship skips Curaçao entirely, you get a 100% refund regardless of the standard 24-hour policy. We track major cruise schedules in real time and reach out proactively when shifts hit our roster.

Marichi Pier in Punda, central Willemstad: about 10 minutes from the Mega Cruise Terminal by taxi, or a 15-minute walk across the Queen Emma Bridge. Arrive 20 minutes before departure for check-in and a short safety briefing. On the way east the boat also stops at Mambo Beach (10 minutes after departure) and Jan Thiel (15 minutes after departure): choose your stop when you book, and be there 20 minutes before the boat. On the way back the boat returns to Marichi Pier, also for guests who boarded at Mambo Beach or Jan Thiel.
