Escape the mainland on a private speedboat to Klein Curaçao — a deserted, uninhabited island with powder-white beaches and a haunting 19th-century lighthouse. This is the Caribbean as it used to be: silent, pristine, entirely yours.
What to expect
The 45-minute crossing from Willemstad is an exhilarating open-ocean run before the flat silhouette of Klein Curaçao emerges from the sea. Anchor in gin-clear shallows, snorkel over a dramatic drop-off teeming with reef fish, and stretch out on talcum-soft sand beneath an umbrella of shade. The derelict lighthouse and the rusting shipwreck on the south shore offer a poignant counterpoint to the beauty. Your crew serves a full lunch and chilled drinks throughout.
Good to know
Klein Curaçao is exposed and has no facilities — your operator provides everything. The crossing can be choppy; those prone to seasickness should take precautions. Confirm departure time aligns with a generous buffer before your ship's all-aboard. Best booked 3–4 weeks in advance.
