This is the main Clearboat experience and the one most guests book. Departing from Daaibooi Beach, this 90-minute cruise follows Curaçao’s west coast past a string of well-known beaches, including Porto Mari (often spotted with sea pigs), Playa Hunku, and Cas Abou. The fully transparent boat floor gives you a unique view straight down into the water as coral formations and colorful tropical fish swim beneath you like floating over a vibrant, well-stocked saltwater aquarium.
There’s a stop at the ever-popular Cas Abou, where you can snorkel or swim, or stay onboard with a drink and light snack while learning about local coral reclamation projects. The captain and first mate are fun and engaging, speak four languages, and share insight about the marine life, coastline, and bits of island history along the way.
This is a favorite tour of the Otra Guide team and a great option for those who want an immersive experience without needing to dive or snorkel – or for anyone who prefers to stay dry while still getting a unique view into the diverse marine ecosystem beneath Curaçao’s famous turquoise waters.
