Can my child join a tour with BlueFinn Charters? 

At BlueFinn Charters Curaçao, we often get this question: “Can my child join a tour?”. The answer is usually: yes, absolutely! Many of our tours are suitable for families with children, though not all in the same way. Below you can read what to expect for each type of tour, so you can decide which experience best fits your family.

Catamaran trips 

Our catamaran trips are a great adventure for young and old. Children love lying on the nets, watching the waves, and sometimes even getting a little splash of seawater. It’s a unique experience — the feeling of freedom at sea, the wind in your hair, and the blue ocean all around you.

It is important to know that our catamarans are open boats. We sail on open sea, and depending on the weather, it can sometimes be a bit rough. That’s why we advise that small children always remain under adult supervision.

Bring an extra towel, sun protection, and possibly a light windbreaker. For families with young children, the Klein Curaçao Catamaran Trip or the West Coast Tour are both wonderful choices — adventurous, yet very family-friendly.

Jeep Safaris 

Our Jeep Safari Tours are an amazing way to explore the rugged countryside of Curaçao, but they are not suitable for the youngest travelers. The jeeps are open vehicles without space for car seats or strollers. Therefore, babies and toddlers are still a bit too young for this type of tour.

Children who can sit independently and do not get carsick easily usually love the jeep safaris. They get to see up close how wild and beautiful the island is: rock formations, nature, animals, and breathtaking views. Our guides ensure a safe and fun atmosphere, but we do ask that children remain seated during the ride — the open design of the jeep makes this important.

For families with slightly older children, this is a top choice: educational, exciting, and full of great photo moments.

Jetskis and ATVs

The Jetski and ATV tours by BlueFinn Charters are designed for adults and older teenagers. For safety reasons, there is a minimum age of 16 years to drive a jetski independently. Younger participants may join as passengers, provided that the driver is at least 21 years old.

For the ATVs, the minimum age for drivers is 21 years, and they must hold a valid driver’s license, which must be shown at check-in. Passengers may be younger but must be at least 1.20 meters tall so that the seat belts fit properly.

These tours require a bit more strength, balance, and independence, making them perfect for adventurous families with teens who love a bit of adrenaline!

Tips for families

• Safety first: Our crew and guides always keep an eye out, but parents or guardians remain responsible for their children.
• Sun protection: Hats, sunscreen, closed shoes, and plenty of water are essential.
• Life jackets: Life jackets are available for children on board, but for the very youngest we advise bringing your own.
• Snacks & breaks: Bring something small to eat or drink, especially on longer trips.
