- GlobeTrotting6741640 contributionsDid not get the tour we paid forTour guides were great And entertaining. Snorkeling was fun. Due to tides could not cliff jump or go in Blue cave - which is why we signed up for this tour. So we paid for an expensive tour that turned out to be a snorkeling tripWritten 31 December 2024
- rachelhC4495WI0 contributionsPrivate powerboat tourWe booked a private tour with powerboat Caribbean and we could not have been happier. Our captain , Tamara, and Benji were so friendly , fun, and easy to talk to! They helped guide us on where to go for our private trip, and we settled on the blue room cave , swimming with turtles , and snorkeling. The boat was fast, fun, and still felt super safe. They played great music, provided us a great lunch, and even brought us champagne for celebrating our honeymoon! We only will be booking with them our next visit with CuracaoWritten 14 October 2024

We had an amazing time, and rented a private boat for a group of 6! While the boat was fast, we all felt extremely safe! And our tour guides were the best!

- Xiomara T0 contributionsFun QUICK trip to Klein CuraçaoVisited with our kids (6-11yrs) and they enjoyed the trip very much. It took just about 45 min to the island, and approx 30 min back. Awesome team, lovely food, and of course enough time to explore the island.Written 13 August 2024
- Babsmp0 contributionsBest trip ever!Loved everything about this trip. The awesome quick trip to Klein, no time for seasickness at all. Already a big adventure in his own. The amazing caring crew with the ‘dushi’ lunch… shout out to Powerboat!Written 29 April 2024
- Darrell77990 contributionsFun Fun FunOMG. If I have to say we were very surprised on how much fun we could have on a wavy day. I would have to say this is like riding a JetSki on a boat. David and Benji made it so much fun for me and my family. When we showed up we thought the trip would have cancelled because of the weather. Hell no. The bigger the waves the better. Felt like an adventure ride at an amusement park. Food was great. They made the food on boat and was great. We snorkeled quit a few spots, and the blue room. Great trip. Would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time.Written 20 March 2024
- Kafayat B0 contributionsFastest Trip---You Get Wet, but Avoid the SeasicknessWe got to the island in 40 mins! We asked a few others and it took them more than twice as long. That alone was worth the premium. The ride over was a little rough with the waves---we got soaking wet, but dried very quickly once getting to the island. The staff was very approachable and chill, lunch was delicious and we even snagged our own palapa for most of the stay. Snorkeling was marvelous (probably even better if you go further from shore). Would definitely recommend---just be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen. We forgot ours and got severely sunburned as most of the island has no shade and we were there for 4 hours.Written 7 March 2024
- Culture178991611250 contributionsGreat , fun and full of laughsMy family of 5 loved this adventure filled day! We swam with the most beautiful turtle, jumped from a rock and had a delicious freshly cooked lunch. Could not have asked for a better day!Written 4 March 2024

First time we Signed up for a tour on trip advisor and it was super easy . Our crew, Yasser and Chris, were an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. The trip out was exhilarating but rough…if you have a bad back, might want to think twice about this trip during dec/jan when the seas are rough. The island itself was surreal with abandoned light house and a couple of ship wrecks. The beach was beautiful, lunch was fantastic and you could do as much or as little as you wanted. The trip back was much smoother (going with the wind and current) and going fast over big swells is just a ton of fun. Your going to get wet so bring an extra shirt. The company is top notch and if you are looking for an exhilarating trip over and back, than this is your tour. We like small groups and with 10 max on the boat, it is a more intimate experience. We did not want to sail over with 30-60 other people on the boat. We will definitely be back for this. Thanks for a fantastic day

After a good briefing at around ten o’clock Tamara and Irvin started the 400hp engines of their two boats. Luckily for us the sea was easy as there was not much wind. On our way we noticed Irvin and Tamara have a lot experience finding the right direction and speed through the waves. Still, you have to keep in mind it can be a bumpy ride sometimes depending on the water currents and wind. Within approximately 45 minutes we arrived at Klein Curacao. Here you have the time for to walk to the shipwreck or snorkle with sea turtles in the heavily bright sea. At around 1 o’clock the bbq master Irvin prepared burgers and tenderloin from the grill. There were salads and unlimited drinks (water, soda, beer). The hosts were making sure that we all stayed hydrated throughout the day.
At around 3 o'clock we headed back to Curaçao while nice music sounded through the speakers. Within 30 minutes we arrived at the meeting spot at Zanzibar, Jan Thiel.
Concluding: We are really happy we choose the Powerboat. Especially when you get seasick easily, this really is the best option. Tamara and Irvin took really good care of us throughout the day.

Wife and I were picked up at the discussed time from Sandals and had an amazing ride to Klein Island with Tamara and Yasser. Yasser was passing along knowledge along the way and checked on the riders often to make sure all was good. Had a great time and would recommend this powerboat trip to everyone as long as your back and knees are in good shape to absorb the waves. The lunch was excellent with beef and chicken on the grill and a pasta salad made by Tamara that was flavorful. Thanks to Powerboat Caribbean for the fun day of boating/snorkeling/hiking/ swimming. Will definitely look them up again if we return. Jonathan and Sharon September 2022

We had such a blast! From start to finish, this was so perfect. When we got to the meeting point, there was a quick dolphin show before we took off, so that was so special, I knew this was going to be an amazing trip. Sitting up front going there, you will get more air (which is fun but requires leg strength so you don't bruise your groin), in the back you will get more splash but less bounce (the waves going there can be pretty big so being in the back was actually kind of nice). They play music to drown out the motor which was great. The boat goes fast, and great for those who like a little thrill! Definitely not good if you have a back injury! We got there so much faster than the other boats, and I could tell they were jealous because we were not queezy and had much more sleep than they did heehee. They also have a box to hold your stuff so it doesn't get wet. Once we got to the island, they had an unlimited array of beer, soda, and water. We loved exploring the island and checking out the lighthouse and shipwreck, then coming back for a quick snorkel (which they supply!) before food, although they had already had the burgers ready when we came back from our walk (yummy burgers and salad, and a pasta dish. If you're vegetarian then maybe bring something for yourself if you're picky). The island is so special, and we had about 4 hours on the island before heading back which was waaaay faster then getting there because you are with the current. Lost of flying fish along the way! Ian and Irwen were so great and made the trip so easy and fun. If you're looking for a bigger boat experience, there was a bigger boat called Breeze that has some nice amenities like a floating mat that you could lay on in the ocean (thanks for letting us use it!!), cabanas, dancing on the boat, etc. but me and my partner prefer a smaller more intimate and adventurous route sans vomiting. Definitely felt a little sore in my legs the next day! Also note, going on Saturday is DOPE because you end back at Jan Thiel which is a really nice beach with a happy hour (cheap wine, beer, and mixed drinks) and live music at 5pm! Lots of young attractive people and good drinks, wish we had stayed but we wanted to get back to our Airbnb for our final sunset of our trip.

Let me start by saying my friends and I went on this tour, not exactly being strong swimmers and one of us didn’t know how to swim at all. We had no expectations except to be at the beach. We started off by taking a powerboat to Klein island which was AH-MAZING! The choppy waters splashing you and seeing the occasional flying fish made the boat ride all the more exciting. The food once we arrived was delicious and filing. The staff was so engaging and thoughtful. Tamara even gave my cousin (who can’t swim) swimming lessons with a smile on her face. I mean where else can you get that type of customer service and dedication to making sure that everyone enjoyed this activity. Hands down the best part of our trip, you will not regret it. Just book it. And book again!! And ladies there’s eye candy too (just don’t do after Tamara’s hubby LOL)!

Irvin and Ian were first off wonderful guides and sea men. We arrived in 30 minutes, thus we spent out time on the island exploring, snorkeling and eating the wonderful lunch they provided. We saw flying fish, Porcupine fish, scorpion fish, green and Hawksbill turtles and a fish ball(literally a thousand fish in a giant grouping). Both men were conscientious, wonderful to talk with and had our fun and most importantly our safety in mind. The boat ride out there and back is like a Disney ride!

We enjoyed every minute of our trip to Klein Curacao. The trip to the island was exciting, the stay on Small Curadise great with a nice homemade lunch and on the way back we speeded accross the waves back with some thrilling wave riding.
But most important Captain Tamara and her team made a very good and relaxed effort to give us a very good experience. Nice and friendly !!!
You don;t have to hesitate, I am convinced you will find the trip as great as we did.

On september 15th we went with the power boat to Klein Curaçao. What an experience to go over the water with such speed. Really cool. Thank you captain Tamara for the delicious bbq and a lovely day. I would recommend this trip to everyone who wants to visit Klein Curaçao and don't feel like sitting on the boat all day.

With my 2 teenage sons to Klein Curacao. Boys will be boys so we opted for some extra adrenaline on the Powerboat. That was so much fun! What an experience to ride the waves at this speed, with a wonderful playlist on in the background. Despite some bouncing (every now and then the boat really comes loose) you don't get seasick at all. The captain can 'read' the waves perfectly and steers the boat very skilfully, which gives a safe feeling despite the speed. The "bounty" island itself is beautiful, just right to spend some hours there. Then you can visit the Things to do (shipwrecks and lighthouse) and also enjoy snorkeling and lunch. We had a well catered BBQ lunch and were served a plate with several pieces of meat and some salad. The Captain and Guide are very sympathetic and have chatted with us cozy on throughout the day. Highly recommended to make this excursion with the Powerboat!
The only suggestion I could make is to make life jackets compulsory.

Does this excursion work with cruise ship folks? Timing for getting back and accessibility to get there from port?
If there are only 6 of us are you adding others or can we book the entire thing ourselves?
