Snorkeling at Tugboat Beach

Explore the Famous Tugboat Wreck

Our first stop is the renowned Tugboat Beach, home to the Curaçao tugboat wreck. This idyllic site has been submerged since the 1970s and is now a vibrant underwater habitat. The wreck is covered in corals and sponges, attracting a variety of marine life, including glassy sweepers and yellowtail snappers. Snorkelers can also spot Sergeant majors, often drawn by other snorkelers feeding the fish.

Dive Under “The Cathedral”

When the area is free of ships, we’ll swim under the pier, affectionately known as “The Cathedral.” This site is a visual feast with orange cup corals and other colorful marine organisms. It’s a must-see for anyone passionate about underwater photography and marine biodiversity.
