Detailed itinerary

1

Enjoy our maximum private adventure: Sightseeing, sailing, snorkeling and relaxing in ultimate serenity on the all-inclusive tour of a lifetime! You'll be greeted in the Seru Boca Marina - at the gated area of the old Santa Barbara Plantation, here you'll step aboard our comfortable 48ft sailing yacht, Galaxie.

Your adventure starts as we motor upwind for about 30 minutes, navigating through the serene Spanish Waters, a large natural lagoon with the only opening to sea along the Santa Barbara Beach.

From here you will sail upwinds in another 30 minutes through the Caribbean Sea and reach the beauty of Fuik Bay.

2

After slowly cruising through the large lagoon of the Spanish Waters you'll pass Santa Barbara Beach, nowadays the home of Sandals Resort and the base of the famous Old Quarry Golf Course. From here we set sail to the Caribbean Sea for another 30 minutes before we reach the beauty of Fuik Bay.

3

After navigating through the serene Spanish Waters lagoon and passing Santa Barbara Beach, we set sail upwinds in another 30 minutes through the bright blue Caribbean Sea before we reach the beauty of Fuik Bay. From sea you'll see the beautiful coast line of Curacao

4

After 1 hour of scenic sailing through the Spanish Waters and the Caribbean Sea we drop anchor in the tranquil oasis of Fuik Bay, the underwater paradise will call your name. Snorkel through the mangroves, lounge on deck or swim to the tiny beachside, indulge in an exquisite food platter (Medirerranean style) and bask in the warm embrace of the sun.

With any luck you will sea turtles popping up their heads for air as it is their natural habitat (so no turtle feeding here). While snorkeling in the mangroves there's chance of seeing colourful fish, baby-barracudas, starfish and sometimes even rays or octopus.

Crowning the tour, we'll sail back to the harbour with the sail on (for the part at sea) and with any luck, we'll have the perfect conditions for smooth sailing and catching the stunning Curacao seaviews and beginning of sunset. It takes about 1 hour to sail back to the harbour where we started.

Don't miss out – Book your ultimate relaxation getaway!

5

After spending 2 wonderful hours at Fuik Bay, we will return to the harbour in about 1 hour, and with a bit of luck, we’ll enjoy perfect wind conditions for smooth sailing, with the sail out for the part at sea.

Sailing with the sail up depends on favourable weather conditions. And while hoisting the sail adds a wonderful touch to our adventure, we do not offer experiences centered around active or diagonal sailing, nor tagging, we just love to be relaxed on the water. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. It's worth to mention that no one has ever experienced seasickness on board, a fact we consider to be a great compliment.

6

After your stunning sunset sail at sea we will pass the Spanish Waters again to arrive at the harbour around 6 PM.
