Do you want to know how much time you actually spend on Klein Curaçao? In addition to the sailing time, look at the departure and return times of the trip.

Why does the sailing time vary per boat?

The boats to Klein Curaçao differ in speed and route. You can choose from smaller boats, catamarans, yachts, and larger motorboats, among others. A fast crossing can be pleasant if you want to spend more time on the island. With a catamaran, the boat trip itself can be a significant part of the experience.

Wind and waves also influence the sailing time. Therefore, the times listed for a trip are an indication, not a guarantee that every crossing will take exactly the same amount of time.

Where does the boat depart from?

Not every trip departs from the same place. The departure point depends on the provider and may be located at a harbor or marina, for example. Check the location and check-in time in your reservation confirmation before departure. Take travel time from your accommodation into account; for some trips, you can book a hotel transfer.

Is the return journey just as long?

Not necessarily. Wind, waves, and the chosen route can be different on the way back. Additionally, with some catamarans, the crew can sail if conditions permit. For your planning, rely on the indicated return time of your trip, and avoid scheduling appointments with little flexibility immediately afterward.

How much time do you have on Klein Curaçao?

A shorter sailing time does not automatically mean you stay on the island the longest. Trips depart at different times and also sail back at different moments. Therefore, compare the total daily schedule if time on the island is important to you.

During your stay, you can swim, snorkel, relax on the beach, and walk to the lighthouse or the shipwrecks. How you spend the rest of the day is largely up to you.

Which boat will you choose?

When making your choice, look at more than just speed. Also consider the seating space and shade on board, the facilities on the island, and what is included in the price. This way, you choose a crossing that fits the day you have in mind.
