Very fun and exciting catamaran. The captain was hilarious. Definitely will do it again and maybe add some snorkeling.
Theresa_T, Aug 2026
What a wonderful day !!! The crew was so attentive to the interests of all of the travelers during our trip to the island; making sure we had drinks, pointing out dolphins, playing music and even provided buckets for people who may have gotten sea sick. When we got to the island we were able to have beach time, see the light house which you can go to the top of and see a shipwreck. We were called back to the boat for a BBQ lunch and there was so many good food options. I would go on this trip again despite the rough seas on way to the island which the crew handled like champs .

We had a great time! The crew was awesome, served an amazing lunch, & positive! The water was incredible & we were able to see a manta ray & 2 sea turtles while snorkeling!

Loved this tour. The catamaran was so much fun. Plenty of food and drinks. Lunch was delicious. The beach was beautiful. This tour provided everything we were looking for only wished that we were able to see the sea turtles. There were sights to see on the beach you just have to walk a bit to get to the lighthouse and the ship wreck.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the catamaran, delicious lunch, plentiful drinks, and beautiful Klein Curaçao. It’s a shame the turtles didn’t make an appearance; wildlife is never guaranteed, but we hope you’ll spot them next time!
Vineela_R, Aug 2026
Super fun way to spend a day. Highly recommend. Crystal clear beach, perfect for snorkeling. The ride to the island was quite rough and several people fell sick, but the time spent there and the ride back were great. The menu is pretty minimal for vegetarians, so best to carry a snack.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your recommendation! We’re glad the beautiful beach, snorkeling, and return journey made for a memorable day despite the rough trip out. We also appreciate your feedback about the limited vegetarian options and will share it with our team. We hope to welcome you aboard again!

This is an awesome excursion. The trip out to Klein was rough, and multiple people got sick, but the crew did a really good job with getting everyone situated with that aspect. Klein is an awesome spot to check out the lighthouse and shipwreck, swim, and hang on the beach. The BBQ lunch was great as well. On the way back (with much calmer waters), the crew turned the boat into a dance party with the drinks flowing. While many people on the boat were saying they aren’t going to get on a boat again for a very long time because of how rough the trip out to the island was, I’m still giving 5 stars since that’s entirely out of the company/crew’s control and every aspect of their handling of the day was fantastic.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful 5-star review! We’re sorry the outward journey was so rough, but grateful that our crew could support everyone and still make the day memorable. We’re delighted you enjoyed Klein Curaçao, the BBQ, and the dance party on the way back. We hope to welcome you aboard again!

A great day on the water! It was nice because everyone does their own thing once we get to the island - snorkel, walk the island or sunbathe! The BBQ was delicious!!!! These guys work hard to keep you entertained and it shows! Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your wonderful recommendation! We’re delighted you enjoyed the freedom to explore Klein Curaçao your way, the delicious BBQ, and our hardworking crew. We’d love to welcome you aboard again!
Alexa_G, Jul 2026
The island is beautiful. Just wish we had drinks and stuff in the beach. They bring water but you don’t get any liquor til lunch. It’s open bar and that’s why we booked it but don’t expect anything before 12:30-1. Essentially second half of the trip.
The crew was super friendly and the food was delicious. Only down side was the drinks. It shousint be advertised as open bar. We couldn’t get drinks anywhere else on the beach either. All bars are dedicated to the other tours.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful island, delicious food, and friendly crew. We understand your disappointment regarding the open bar: alcoholic drinks are served aboard the catamaran from lunchtime and are unavailable on the beach. We’re sorry this wasn’t clear when booking and will review how we communicate it.

Great boat, great hosts, and the island was mesmerizing! 💗
Food was delicious, bring hats and lots of sunscreen and snorkel gear if you want (but exploring the island and swimming is all you really need to worry about)!
The way home was so much fun and me and my family danced all the way back! 💗
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review and helpful tips! We’re thrilled your family enjoyed the island, delicious food, lovely crew, and especially the dancing on the way home. We’d love to welcome you aboard again!

Shawn_H, Jul 2026
I really enjoyed this excursion! The lunch was delicious, and the overall experience was great. My only suggestion would be to have at least two speedboats transporting guests from the main boat to the island. It would make the process much faster and help reduce the wait time.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the excursion and lunch. We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about using an additional speedboat and will share it with our team. We hope to welcome you aboard again!
Jennifer_T, Jul 2026
Great day. Rough seas to get to the island and hit a rain storm but the crew was professional and cheerful throughout. Lunch was delicious. Very much enjoyed our time. Traveled with our family of 5 with 3 kids 12-18 yo.

If you’re a traveler who has traveled to a lot of Caribbean/Latin areas and have taken a day cruise to an island, you may be disappointed with this one. It was average at best. When you arrive to the island it is definitely beautiful and the saving grace of the trip. But they don’t start serving alcohol until lunch which is about two hours later. Lunch is also on the boat, so if you want to go back to the island/beach after — there are not free drinks there. Drinks are available for purchase at the beach but it’s cheap liquor and, at the time, $10 per shot. Lunch was delicious. Also compared to the many other day cruises I’ve been on, the staff on others have been way more hyped and bring the energy. The ones here just seemed to be there, will say the last hour of sailing back in was the funnest of the entire trip and that’s when they brought the energy, I would have loved that to be all day or at least starting at lunch when everyone started to wake up. Day cruises in Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Puerto Rico really set the bar high for me so if you’ve been on any there, you may not enjoy this one as much. I will say, there was another company there who’s drinks were included at the beach also, so maybe go with that one if that’s important for you. But if you just want a chill and relaxing time with good food, this one might be best for you. For me, it just lacked the fun and energy I was hoping for.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of Klein Curaçao and our BBQ lunch on board.
We would, however, like to clarify one point in your review. BlueFinn Charters does not sell drinks. All drinks are included in our tour and are served on board. It therefore appears that part of the experience described may relate to another service provider or venue on the island.
We are sorry to hear that the atmosphere during the day did not match your expectations. We appreciate this feedback and will share it with our team.
Thank you for joining us.

Our crew will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Their goal is always to make every guest feel safe, well cared for, and most importantly, to have an unforgettable day filled with great food, fun, and island vibes.
Thank you for calling our team the “Dream Team Crew”—we absolutely love that! It means the world to us to know you felt your investment was worth every penny.

The food was good..the beach was average, the ride was choppy and the staff barely helped with boarding the small boat to get to and from the island. Overall an average experience for the price.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, but we’re sorry the overall experience did not fully meet your expectations. The sea conditions can sometimes make the ride more choppy, but we understand that this affects the comfort of the trip.
We also appreciate your comment about the boarding assistance for the small boat. Guest safety and support are very important to us, so we’ll take this feedback seriously with the team.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

This excursion was so much fun. The island is beautiful with its vibrant blue water. We spent most of our time away from the people and the shore, snorkeling and hanging out with sea turtles. The barbecue lunch was good and the open bar was a plus. The trip back was a party with music and dancing. We met some great new friends too. This is a must when you visit Curaçao!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review!
We’re happy to hear you had such a fun day at Klein Curaçao and enjoyed the snorkeling, sea turtles, BBQ lunch, open bar, music, and dancing on the way back.
It’s great to know the excursion was a highlight of your visit. Thank you for recommending us!

Definitely take motion sickness pills if you can’t handle the sea. It’s totally worth it but be sure to grab breakfast because it runs out pretty quickly if the tour is full. I didn’t get any but otherwise the tour guides were so much fun, food and drinks were great!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your honest review!
We’re happy to hear you felt the trip was worth it and enjoyed the guides, food, drinks, and overall experience. We also appreciate your feedback about breakfast availability, especially on full tours. We’ll take that along with us.
And yes, motion sickness pills are definitely recommended for guests who are sensitive to the sea. Thank you for joining us!

My experience with Bluefinn Charters was amazing; the boat was beautiful, crew was super friendly, and the lunch was amazing!! Not only did we get to relax, snorkel and explore the island but we also had very special visitors riding along side of our boat for about 25minutes of our trip - dolphins!
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Klein was beautiful! The ride going was very rough! We had great time , with the exception of an entitled Karen , but that didn’t ruin our trip! The food was good and drinks flowing. The Crew was awesome at making everyone feel welcome and keeping the good vibes going!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with us!
We’re happy to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the beauty of Klein Curaçao, the food and drinks, and the atmosphere on board. Our crew works hard to make every guest feel welcome and keep the good vibes going throughout the day, so they’ll be delighted to hear your kind words.
The crossing to Klein Curaçao can indeed be rough at times due to the open sea conditions, and we always recommend seasickness medication for guests who may be sensitive to motion.
Thank you again for sailing with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable day on the water!

I was on a solo vacation and was a little scared to be gone by myself, but it was fine. It was really good experience and the water wasn’t choppy at all as I seen on TikTok that people can get sick while going there but for me I I took two Dramamine pills and I was just fine. It was even better coming back, but the island is beautiful and the staff were amazing. Food was even better.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re especially happy to hear that you felt comfortable and safe while traveling solo. We strive to create an environment where every guest - whether traveling alone, with friends, or with family - feels welcome and well cared for.
It’s great to hear that the sea was calm during your trip and that the motion sickness medication worked well for you. Sea conditions can vary from day to day, so preparation is always a good idea.
We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the beautiful island, our crew, and especially the food. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Curaçao for another unforgettable adventure someday!

The alcohol didn’t start when we first got on the boat. The drinks tasted like water. The food was just ok. We were told several times that we needed to rationalize our portions on an all you can eat. The horn sounded like we were prisoners. We were not told the 2 hour ride back and forth and so we were only on the island for 2 hours. Also we were not told we had to swim to the island. Although the water was absolutely amazing it wasn’t worth $140.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful waters of Klein Curaçao, though we’re sorry that some aspects of the experience did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the crossing, Klein Curaçao is located approximately 25 kilometers (15 miles) off the coast of Curaçao, which results in a journey of around 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours each way, depending on sea conditions. We strive to communicate this clearly in our tour descriptions so guests know what to expect.
We would also like to clarify that swimming to the island is entirely optional. Guests who prefer not to swim can make use of our tender service, which transports guests comfortably between the catamaran and the shore.
As for the lunch service, our intention is always to ensure that there is sufficient food for all guests to enjoy. We regret if any communication around this came across differently than intended.
Thank you for your honest feedback. Guest experiences help us continue improving, and we appreciate you choosing to sail with us. We wish you many wonderful memories of Curaçao and hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay on the island.

I traveled to Curaçao solo and booked this excursion to Klein Curaçao by myself. As someone traveling alone, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the moment I stepped on the boat, I never once felt alone.
The waters were a little rough on the way to Klein Curaçao, and the crew went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. Leo, David, Captain Zafir, and Dennis were incredibly attentive throughout the entire journey. They constantly checked in on me, made sure I had a bucket nearby just in case, and genuinely cared about how I was feeling.
A special thank you to Leo, who gave me a simple but excellent tip: focus on my breathing and look at the horizon. It worked perfectly! I was convinced I was going to get sick, but thanks to his advice, I made it through the ride without getting seasick.
Once we arrived at Klein Curaçao, the experience became even more amazing. The island is absolutely breathtaking, and the entire day was perfectly organized. David prepared a delicious lunch that exceeded all expectations. The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of the highlights of the day.
Captain Zafir and Dennis were also outstanding. They were professional, friendly, and always checking in to make sure everyone was having a great time. What impressed me most was how welcoming and engaging the entire crew was. We laughed, danced, had great conversations, and I even met wonderful people from different parts of the world.
This excursion is perfect whether you’re traveling with family, friends, a partner, or completely on your own. I can honestly say that even as a solo traveler, I never felt lonely for a single moment. The crew created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that it felt like spending the day with friends.
I would recommend this excursion a thousand times over. Leo, David, Captain Zafir, and Dennis truly made this experience unforgettable. Their kindness, professionalism, attentiveness, and positive energy turned a great excursion into one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had.
Thank you all for making my day at Klein Curaçao so special. I will never forget it.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Leo, David, Captain Zafir, and Dennis—they will be honored to know they had such a positive impact on your experience.
It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed not only the beauty of Klein Curaçao and the lunch prepared by David, but also the connections made with fellow travelers from around the world. Those shared moments of laughter, dancing, and conversation are often what make a trip truly unforgettable.
