Truly unforgettable Coming Into This

Taking boating lessons at Vaarles Curaçao was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve lived on the island my whole life, but I never imagined how empowering it would feel to actually sail our waters myself.

The instructors are top-notch — super friendly, professional, and really know how to explain things clearly. I loved how each class built up my confidence step by step. The theory was interesting and easy to follow, and the practical lessons? Just incredible. Every session felt like an adventure.

Best service possible for a boat school

I can’t recommend Vaarles Curaçao enough! From the moment I signed up, the team made me feel welcome, safe, and excited to learn. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable but also patient and encouraging — they made sailing feel accessible even for someone like me with zero experience.

The combination of theory and hands-on lessons was perfect. I especially appreciated the personalized attention and the beautiful setting. By the end of the course, I was confidently handling the boat on my own — something I never thought possible in just a few sessions.

If you’re thinking about learning how to sail in Curaçao, this is the place to do it. Professional, passionate, and just a joy to be around. Thank you for such an amazing journey on the water!

Best Decision we Ever Made!

We booked a few sailing lessons at Vaarles Curaçao during our vacation — and it turned out to be the absolute highlight of our trip! Neither of us had any sailing experience, but the instructors made us feel completely at ease from the start.

They were fun, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. The lessons were hands-on, the boats were well-maintained, and the views while out on the water were just breathtaking. We learned real sailing skills while enjoying every second of it.
