Bajan Queen: Carlisle Bay

She was Barbados' first tugboat named the "Pelican" when the Bridgetown Harbour was being constructed in the 1960's. A decade later, as more modern tugboats were purchased; the Pelican was then converted to a party boat called "Bajan Queen". The Bajan Queen holds many memories for thousands of Barbadians and visitors alike. After years of operation as the party spot the Bajan Queen was donated to the Coastal Zone Management Unit.

Directors Bay

Directors Bay is an historic Curaçao landmark, located between the famous Tugboat wreck and Small Wall ¿ perfectly suited for divers, snorkelers, and beach goers alike. As the local story goes, it is said that the late Queen Juliana, who was invited to this beach, was so afraid of fish that the Royal Dutch Shell Group caged in a section of the bay for her, to increase her enjoyment and ultimately to ease her mind so that she could relax. But you know, that¿s just the story. The fact is that starting in the early 1900¿s until departing in 1985, the Directors of the Royal Dutch Shell Group and the Dutch royal family used this bay exclusively and it was considered private. Now, the beach and surrounding area are open for public use. As for the infamous fence or what is left of it, is in fact an old decaying surge protection device, which is now laying on the floor encrusted in many beautiful corals and sponges. Diving here left (East) along the vertical wall towards Small Wall extends to a depth of about 15m and is home to the most amazing underwater creatures, including sea horses, frogfish, eels, flounders and many more. A large octopus calls the rubble his home as well. Directors Bay truly is a great dive site for macro photography on Curaçao. Going right (West), you can also reach the Tugboat, but make sure you have arranged transportation back due to air limitations.

Bajan Queen: Carlisle Bay

She was Barbados' first tugboat named the "Pelican" when the Bridgetown Harbour was being constructed in the 1960's. A decade later, as more modern tugboats were purchased; the Pelican was then converted to a party boat called "Bajan Queen". The Bajan Queen holds many memories for thousands of Barbadians and visitors alike. After years of operation as the party spot the Bajan Queen was donated to the Coastal Zone Management Unit. From there with the assistance of our very own Andre Miller the Bajan Queen was cleaned up and sunk on 19th May 2002 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park.
