Which trip suits you
- The lowest price: Gold Seahorse at USD 135 for an adult. It also has one of the shorter crossings, at about 1 hour.
- Drinks included: BlueFinn at USD 140 includes beer, wine and cocktails. On Powerboat Caribbean they are included too, at a higher price.
- Toilets and shade on land: Miss Ann or Mermaid. Both have their own beach house on the island.
- The least time at sea: Powerboat Caribbean, at about 45 minutes out and 30 minutes back. It is a fast, bouncy ride, so it does not suit everyone.
- Young children: Mermaid takes children under 4 for free and has shade on the boat and at its beach house. Check the age limits before you book a speedboat, where child tickets start at age 6.
- A lively day on a big boat: BlueFinn's large catamarans have room to move around, with nets over the water and a bar.
If you get seasick
The crossing goes over open sea, and the conditions change from day to day. BlueFinn warns that it can be calm or bumpy, and that holds for every boat. A shorter crossing means less time on the water, but a small, fast boat moves more.
- Mermaid gives free seasickness pills on board.
- Miss Ann and Gold Seahorse tell you to bring medication if you need it.
- BlueFinn advises taking medication at least 30 minutes before you leave, and sitting in the shaded middle of the boat.
What to expect on the island
Klein Curaçao is uninhabited, with no shops or hotels. Your comfort for the day depends on what your company brings or has built there. If you want a toilet, a shower and shade close by, choose a trip with a beach house. On a boat without one, you go back to the boat for the toilet, so it matters how you get ashore.
Rather have a boat of your own?
For a private trip, see Living Life's 41 ft boat, from USD 1,450 for up to 2 guests. Read more about the island itself in our guide to Klein Curaçao.
How we compared them
We took these details from each company's own website or from the tour pages we made with them, on 8 November 2026. Prices and times can change, so confirm them when you book. Other companies sail to Klein Curaçao as well, such as Irie Tours. We could not confirm their current details at the source, so they are not in the table.
Kua Kaminda sells the Mermaid, Gold Seahorse and Powerboat Caribbean trips and earns a commission on them. We do not sell the Miss Ann or BlueFinn trips and earn nothing from them, so those links go to their own websites.
