Amazing! - This was the best experience I’ve had using Viator. It was the perfect beach day on a private island. They serve you breakfast & lunch and ample amounts of drinks. If you’re considering booking this tour, please do. Wonderful experience.

Excellent - It was an awesome experience. I woukd totally do it again. Staff was extremely friendly and the food was delish. They picked us up on time and our deivers were great. On the way back the driver was not as friendly amd was on his phone. He didn't even get up to open our doors. But the rest of the experience was great.

Hands down, the best! - Great excursion! Plenty of space on the boat (not overcrowded) and was about a 90 min ride. We sat on the top deck in the front near the Captain. My family took Dramamine the night before and the morning before we went and had no problem with any seasickness (others did get sick, so my advice is to plan ahead and take something whether you think you need it or not). Once we arrived we rode the smaller boat to the shore, where we met for a quick debriefing before breakfast. Food was fantastic (I cannot have dairy and had plenty of options)! We explored the island and then came back and enjoyed the beach and swimming/snorkeling. Lunch was wonderful and very filling. We had a covered palapa to ourselves, so we enjoyed the shade when we needed it. Nice island bar and clean restroom. Bartender and boat staff were very accommodating, friendly, and really seem to love what they do. Stef, Brandon, Nick(hoping we remembered names correctly) thank you for your kindness and ability to make everyone feel right at home. We did notice this charter was the only one that provided all of the above mentioned amenities and were extremely thankful to have booked with them. And to top it off, we got to see dolphins on the ride back as they were following the boat and jumping alongside. We will go again when we make it back to Curacao!

Little Curaçao by Mermid boat - It's getting up early, but definitely worth it !!!
Professional and helpful staff,
friendly.
Such an organization and boat sail for half an hour after which breakfast is immediately started.
At noon is the BBQ 🍖 with enough food for everyone.
Nice place for snorkeling!
All in all highly recommended and an asset for the holiday!

Great day! - Mermaid is the way to go! They have a big portion of the island reserved for their guests including beach huts, chairs and a spacious picnic table dining area in a sheltered beach house. The staff on board were very attentive and friendly, especially when some got seasick on the way over. They have complimentary seasickness meds for guests if this is the case. I don't know how a group of people managed to board the boat with a large cooler filled with wine and beer when we are supposed to buy the drinks...the cooler flipped because of the choppy waves and spilled all over the floor, making it slippery for other guests. Not sure how the staff allowed those people on board so apparently you can bring your own alcohol and there are no consequences?
They take credit card for drinks but bring cash if you want to tip the crew, which we did!
Compared to other competitor boat companies who were on the island, Mermaid was clearly the bigger and better boat with a full top and bottom deck, we also got there first and left last, making it a longer excursion compared to the other boat companies!

Beautiful Klein beach boring boat charter - Klein beach is a picturesque tropical paradise. The water is crystal clear and the beach is gorgeous. The boat was uncomfortable metal seating that with the rough sea waters on the way there is unpleasant on your back and bottom . Plus you’re essentially baking on the upper level of you don’t find seating in the covered area . The boat music play list was great and 2 you get staff members were the only 2 interacting with anyone at all . For the cost this was a relaxing day , because it was pretty boring . The staff didn’t interact at all , they sat at a table and seemed annoyed if you purchased one of the alcoholic beverages available for $3 . Between myself who had 2 drinks and my friend who had 3 we were over billed at the end for an extra beverage.we didn’t argue it because we just wanted off the boat and to go back to the resort . The whole vibe was bizarre. Snorkel equipment such as a mask and breathing tube are provided , excluding the flippers to help swim but I didn’t see any safety things provided such as life jackets , even a pool noodle either and none of the staff again interacting in the water or with any of the customers. There’s a box with booklets in different languages so you can take a self guided tour of the beach and island area - again once you do that , and have lunch and snorkel you’re left to figure out what to do next . The lunch was a nice bbq of chicken, burgers and short ribs and all the sides were vegetarian.. the peanut sauce in a cauldron wasn’t labelled so anyone with a peanut allergy please be aware . You’re told when you arrive there’s breakfast. It consisted of a few sandwiches (cheese or meat or meat and cheese options ) cucumbers, tomatoes and a banana or orange . All the food was great but I’d recommend not having seconds as nothing is covered and birds are walking in the bowls pecking away at the salads etc . Safe food handling and hygiene practices weren’t really applied . So here’s a summary, because of the unpleasant ride there (it’s a choppy ride ) this is the best option for vessels to take because of its size . The beach and island area worth seeing but a 1/2 day trip is more than enough unless you book with a company that’s more interactive and friendly and offer a better experience

Nice island, unpleasant trip - The island is very beautiful, with white sand, clear water and unrivalled turquoise sea. The crossing to the island was very unpleasant, starting with the schedule, as you have to be at 6.45 am on the dock, so we had to get up at 5.30 am (why so early???). Already on the boat, it moved quite a lot, we were very tight (I would say the number of passengers exceeded the capacity of the boat), the hard seats and being totally open to the sides, the wind made the journey of an hour and a half quite unpleasant. The crew very friendly and helpful, always attentive in case anyone felt unwell. And there were several.
Then, at almost 10, on the island we were served breakfast, consisting of tea, coffee, some fruit and sandwiches.
There are huge and restful palapas, so we could be comfortable in the shade. You can see a lot of lizards and crabs that have the snail-like shell, very curious.
Lunch was good, with a variety of salads and roast beef, including burgers.
We took the elements to snorkel but there was nothing to see in the sea.After lunch they threw scraps of breakfast in the water and there we did see many fish, especially among the rocks.
In short, a lot of travel to be on a nice beach that is not very different from others we visit in Curaçao, such as Cas Aboa, or even the beach of the hotel.
