Dushi Boat Drone Photoshoot | Free Champagne | Fruits and Flowers
The main draw is simple: you get a private traditional fishing boat and a drone photographer working above Curaçao’s turquoise water. In about an hour, you can create polished vacation photos without spending a full day on a boat trip.
I like the mix of useful keepsakes and easy island treats. You receive 40 or more photos and videos, plus seven edited images at no extra charge, while the fruit tray, coconut, cocktails, and flowers give the shoot a festive setting. The main point to consider is the price: at $325 per person, this is a photo experience first, not a budget sightseeing cruise.
Key Points at a Glance

- Traditional fishing boat: Your photos are taken on a charming local-style boat rather than a large tour vessel.
- Drone coverage: You receive 40 or more high-resolution photos and videos, with seven edited images included.
- Private booking: Only your group participates, which helps with romantic, birthday, solo, and group photos.
- Island refreshments: Fruit, coconut, bottled water, alcoholic drinks, handcrafted cocktails, and tropical shots are included.
- Optional styling: Flower decor and the bottle of champagne are listed as optional, so confirm what you want when booking.
- Short, focused outing: The experience lasts about one hour and begins and ends at 18 Canoaweg in Sint Michiel.
What This Curaçao Photo Experience Is Really About

This is not a standard boat tour with a quick photo stop. The boat, water, drinks, and styling all serve one purpose: giving you a polished set of vacation images in a distinctly Curaçao setting.
You spend roughly an hour on a traditional fishing boat while the photographer captures the scene from above. That viewpoint matters. Drone photos can show the shape of the boat, the surrounding water, and your position within the setting, rather than limiting you to close portraits from the deck.
The experience is private, so your time is not shared with another booking. That makes a difference for a birthday shoot, proposal-style moment, couple’s session, solo portraits, or girls’ getaway. You can focus on your own photos instead of waiting for strangers to finish posing.
The supplied information does not name the photographer or crew, so I would not book this expecting a particular individual by name. You can expect a photographer and boat crew to direct the session and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Meeting at 18 Canoaweg in Sint Michiel

The stated meeting point is 18 Canoaweg, Sint Michiel, Curaçao. The activity returns to this same point at the end, which keeps the outing tidy and easy to fit into a day of sightseeing.
Pickup is offered in the tour details, but private transportation is also listed as not included. That sounds like pickup may be available as an arrangement rather than part of the standard price. I would confirm the pickup area, cost, and meeting instructions before you pay, especially if you are staying outside Sint Michiel.
The location is near public transportation, according to the activity information. Still, if you are carrying a change of clothes, flowers, or personal items, a direct ride may be easier than figuring out local connections. The booking confirmation is sent at the time of purchase, so check it closely for the exact meeting instructions.
Boarding the Traditional Fishing Boat
The boat is part of the photo setting, not just a way to reach a separate viewpoint. Its traditional fishing-boat shape gives the pictures a more personal Curaçao feel than a modern speedboat or large catamaran.
Once aboard, the crew can set out the decorative touches. Flower decor is available as an option, and the details also include a fruit tray, coconut, bottled water, and alcoholic beverages. These extras help create a relaxed scene while you wait for the photographer to position the drone.
The description does not give a detailed sailing route or list named stops. That is important: you should think of this as a moving photo session on the water, not a sightseeing itinerary with several beaches or landmarks. The value is in the boat, water, styling, and images rather than in covering a long stretch of coast.
You may want to arrive ready for the camera. The activity is short, and time spent changing outfits or organizing personal items will reduce your shooting time. Since this is a private booking, you can likely keep the pace focused on your group, but the one-hour limit still makes preparation worthwhile.
Drone Photos Over Curaçao’s Turquoise Water

The drone work is the heart of the experience. You receive 40 or more high-resolution photos and videos, followed by seven expertly edited images at no extra charge.
That package gives you two kinds of value. The larger group of images lets you choose your own favorites, while the seven edits provide finished photographs that are ready to share or print. If you are booking for a birthday or couple’s milestone, the edited images may be the most useful part of the package.
The drone also changes how you pose. Instead of looking only toward a camera held on the boat, you may be photographed standing, sitting, or arranging yourselves so the boat and water remain visible around you. The supplied details do not list a fixed number of poses, a delivery date, or a specific file format, so ask those questions if the photos are important for an event.
I would also clarify exactly how the 40 or more photos and videos are delivered. The wording supports a substantial collection of images and video clips, but it does not say how long the videos are or whether every file receives editing. The seven edited photos are clearly included, while the larger set appears to be the raw or less edited collection.

Champagne, Cocktails, Coconut, and Fruit

The refreshments give the session its celebratory tone. You receive a fresh coconut, bottled water, a tropical fruit tray, alcoholic beverages, handcrafted cocktails, and tropical shots.
The fruit and coconut are useful touches for photos as well as refreshments. A colorful tray can add a natural beach detail without making the setup feel overly formal. The drinks make sense for a birthday or romantic booking, but remember that alcohol and a boat require sensible pacing, especially under the Curaçao sun.
A bottle of champagne is listed as optional, and flower decor is also marked optional. Do not assume both are automatically part of the base arrangement. If you want the full champagne-and-flowers look seen in promotional material, confirm that both are selected and ask if either carries an added charge.
For anyone who does not drink, the coconut, bottled water, and fruit still provide nonalcoholic options. The listing does not mention dietary substitutions, so ask ahead if you have allergies or food restrictions.
How the One-Hour Timing Affects the Experience

One hour is enough for a focused shoot, but it is not a leisurely half-day outing. You should expect a compact sequence: meeting the crew, boarding, arranging the boat, enjoying the water, taking several drone passes, and returning to the meeting point.
That short length is a benefit if you want photos without giving up much of your Curaçao day. You can schedule it around dinner, beach time, or another activity. It is less suitable if you want a long cruise, swimming time, or a slow afternoon at sea.
The private format should help keep the hour efficient. You will not be sharing the boat with an unrelated group, and the photographer can concentrate on your party. Still, the exact amount of time spent posing versus cruising is not specified, so I would ask before booking if you want a particular balance.
Good weather is required. If conditions are poor, the experience may be canceled, with the choice of a different date or a full refund. This is a practical concern for anyone planning a birthday or proposal around a fixed date. Leave some flexibility if your schedule allows.
Is $325 Per Person a Fair Price?

At $325 per person, this is a premium activity. You are paying for more than a short boat ride: a private group setting, a drone photographer, a traditional boat, refreshments, styling options, and a sizable photo package.
The price makes the most sense when the photos are your main goal. A couple celebrating an important occasion may see value in having seven finished images and a larger set of files from the trip. A solo visitor who wants professional Curaçao portraits may also prefer this over arranging a separate photographer and boat.
The value is weaker if you mainly want to see the coast from the water. At one hour, the experience does not promise a broad cruise or a long swim stop. You are buying a planned photo session, not a general boat excursion.
Group size matters. Because the cost is listed per person, a larger group can become expensive quickly. On the other hand, a group booking gives you private use of the boat and lets everyone share the setting. For a birthday group or girls’ getaway, the refreshments and multiple images may help justify the total.
Before booking, ask for the final price with optional champagne, flower decor, and any pickup arrangement included. That is the clearest way to compare the cost with other photo packages in Curaçao.
Who Will Enjoy This Most

This experience fits you best if you want a special set of vacation photos and like the idea of a relaxed island setting. It is especially suited to:
- Couples marking a birthday, anniversary, or romantic occasion
- Solo visitors who want professional portraits
- Friends planning a birthday or girls’ getaway
- Families or small groups who want private photos together
- Anyone who prefers a short, organized activity over a full boat day
The experience may not fit if you dislike posing, do not care about professional photos, or want a long time in the water. It also may not be the best match for a strict budget, since $325 per person is a serious spend for about an hour.
The supplied feedback points to a few repeated strengths worth keeping in mind. The birthday sessions are described as comfortable and energetic, with the photographer helping people interact and pose. The boat’s music, clear water, and relaxed mood also receive strong praise. One booking included help arranging transportation, but transportation is not part of the listed inclusions, so confirm that service directly.
Booking Tips for a Better Shoot
Book early if your date matters. This experience is booked, on average, 22 days ahead, which suggests that popular vacation dates may not remain open until the last minute.
Wear something that photographs well against blue water, but do not bring an outfit that you cannot move in. You may need to sit, stand, or shift position on the boat. A second outfit could be useful, but the one-hour schedule means changing may take up a meaningful part of the session.
Confirm these points before your date:
- Whether champagne and flowers are included or added separately
- Whether pickup is available from your accommodation and at what price
- How the photos and videos will be delivered
- When the seven edited images will arrive
- What happens if wind or rain affects the session
The cancellation terms are straightforward. You can cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Changes or cancellations made within 24 hours are not accepted for a refund, and all cut-off times follow Curaçao local time.
Should You Book the Dushi Boat Drone Photoshoot?
Book it if you want your Curaçao memories to look like a proper photo session rather than casual phone snapshots. The traditional boat, turquoise water, drone angles, private format, fruit, coconut, and optional champagne create a clear occasion, and the seven edited images add lasting value.
Skip it if your priority is a long boat ride, swimming, sightseeing, or keeping costs low. For the right person, the one-hour format is efficient and focused. For everyone else, it may feel like a lot of money for a short time on the water.
My practical call: book this for a birthday, romantic celebration, solo portrait session, or small private group, and confirm the optional extras and transport before finalizing payment.
