About this trip

The Mermaid is perhaps the best known and oldest trip to Klein Curacao. For over 30 years, this trip has provided people from all over the world with a unique day on this uninhabited island. The Mermaid is a luxurious and large, seaworthy ship. In case you are afraid of getting seasick, you hardly have to worry about this on the Mermaid. Precisely because it is such a large ship, it has very little wave action.

And do you happen to be staying in Jan Thiel? Then add the hotel transfer to your reservation! In fact, only in Jan Thiel we will pick you up with a limousine for free and bring you back at the end of the day.

The crossing is an experience in itself and generally takes just under two hours. We then sailed right along the coast of Curacao so you have a great view of Fuik, Duivelsklip and Oostpunt. Sometimes dolphins even swim with the ship! When we have passed the most southwestern tip of Curacao we change course toward Klein Curacao. In the distance, you can already see Klein Curacao’s iconic lighthouse and shipwreck. But what will mainly stand out are the endless beautiful white beaches.

Once at anchor, a small motorboat will drop you off knee-deep on the beach right in front of the beautiful private beach house. The beach house has a covered patio with picnic tables, restrooms, showers, sun beds and umbrellas. In short, all the facilities to make an adventure trip as comfortable as possible.

At noon, a delicious BBQ buffet awaits you with a variety of fish and meat (our chicken is always halal), salads and fruit. And throughout the day you may use the open bar consisting of ice water, fruit juices and soft drinks. Alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine are also available for a small fee.

Around four o’clock it is time to sail back to Curacao and enjoy after a special day full of unique new memories.

Great day on little Curacao
Lisette H
During your stay in Curacao, a day with the Mermaid really shouldn’t be missed. During this day, everything is well organized. On the boat there is coffee and tea, on little Curacao there is breakfast ready and in the afternoon a well catered bbq! The small island is beautiful with its white sand, blue clear water and beautiful fish and turtles. The day unfortunately flew by! So enjoyed! As icing on the cake, two dolphins swam with the boat for a while on the way back. Was a beautiful sight!
How well they got it right from Mermaid!
Patricia G
Nice day trip. What a good job they have done of Mermaid! On small Curacao a private domain… very nice set up…. watchtower.. delicious bbq… beach beds… snorkel gear… what more could you want? Definitely recommended.
Well organized trip to Klein Curacao.

We went with Mermaid to Klein Curaçao, a great experience. The trip to Klein Curaçao takes just under 2 hours. On board there will be coffee, tea and water, as you will have breakfast on the island (departure from the port on Caracas Bay Road is around 7 a.m.). On the island, you will first receive instruction, after which you can have a sumptuous breakfast…. there is enough for everyone. On the island, Mermaid has its own spot, with restrooms and plenty of sunbeds for everyone. There are a few umbrellas, should you bring your own, you can lie a little further away from the rest. You can take a walk to the lighthouse and shipwrecks or take a tour around the island (will take you ff). The water is great for swimming, snorkeling is also possible but with us there were not many fish in the morning. Lunch was also excellently arranged, so nicely organized all. At the end of the day, leftover rolls from breakfast are distributed to guests to feed to the fish, in which case it’s handy to bring your snorkel. When we left the island we still saw turtles, so a great day. Recommended to do so and I can recommend Mermaid.
Well-run trip with friendly crew
Renzo
Well taken care of trip, perfect food and drinks and a nice experience on the island. Crew is super friendly, attentive and immensely helpful (personal guidance for seasickness, extra help getting on and off the boat if needed). You burn extra quickly because of the reflection of the sun’s rays on the extremely white sand and sea, so bring good protection! There are also quite a lot of small annoying flies, so be sure to bring spray for this as well! Unfortunately, there is no WiFi on the island (nor 4G coverage). Fine for most people, but for people who need to stay reachable, it is not ideal.
Very well organized day trip
yoboy
Decided to book a day on Klein Curacao at the Mermaid. A very well organized day trip from start to finish. A beautiful luxury boat and good facilities on the island itself. Food and drink is widely available and the lunch buffet was excellent. And all this with good and enthusiastic staff. Klein Curacao is a beautiful island where it is very good to spend a day. Don’t forget to walk to the lighthouse and the shipwrecks.
