Klein Curaçao by Speedboat: Powerboat Caribbean’s Fast RIB, Barbecue and Open Bar – Klein Curaçao

Powerboat Caribbean · Klein Curaçao

Race to Klein Curaçao on Powerboat Caribbean’s fast RIB, the quickest boat to the island: about 45 minutes over the waves. A day on the white beach of the uninhabited island, with snorkelling, the lighthouse and the shipwrecks, a barbecue lunch and unlimited drinks, with the crew staying on the island with you.

Send your date and the number of guests; Kua Kaminda checks the date with Powerboat Caribbean. Once it is free, you pay 10% online to book, and Powerboat Caribbean send you a payment link for the rest.

Your day

Out through the channel and along the south coast at full speed: about 45 minutes to Klein Curaçao, depending on the wind and the waves.

On the island: wade ashore, then the white beach, clear blue water and snorkelling, where sea turtles and stingrays are often seen.

Walk to the lighthouse and the shipwrecks.

Around 1 PM a freshly grilled barbecue lunch under the palapas.

Around 3 PM the crew packs up; about 30 minutes back, at Surfspot around 4 PM.
