What you'll visit:
Sunken Tugboat, Snorkel Spot
Of the island's 80 dive sites, the Sunken Tugboat is a picturesque treasure just waiting for you to discover. Situated in lovely Caracas Bay, the Sunken Tugboat is a 40-foot-long wreck that sank about 45 years ago when a tanker dropped anchor on the vessel. The tugboat rests in just 17 feet of water but is completely covered in a diversity of corals. Look closely and you'll see tiny little creatures of about an inch buried in the coral. These minute crustaceans are called Christmas tree worms and feature two brightly colored crowns that protrude from their tube-like bodies. This underwater paradise is resplendent with a great variety of fish. If you are lucky, you may see parrotfish, snappers, morays, trumpet fish, and angelfish. Just beyond the tugboat is a steep wall, which drops to about 100 feet. The wall is lush with hard and soft corals along the top near the shallow ledge, and morays, scorpion fish and lobsters may be seen in its numerous crevices and shallow caverns.
What you will see along the way:
Sit back and relax as your vessel takes a scenic route along Curaçao's Gold Coast. Marvel at the pristine beaches and swaying palm trees as you pass Santa Barbara Beach, home to a luxury resort with a marina, golf course and several mansions.
Snack:
Fruit and punch is served on board.
