Top Aruba Sailing Tours

Wonderful way to enjoy the sunset! We met friendly people on board. We enjoyed the open bar, dinner and dessert. We would book this same sunset cruise again! ( don’t let the check in scare you… she was not friendly or helpful) the staff on board were great.

We had a fantastic experience with Banana’s Adventure Catamaran, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, personal, and well-run excursion in Aruba. Captain Jamil and crew member Benjie were excellent from start to finish. Safety was clearly their #1 priority, and they were very detailed in explaining everything before we got in the water and throughout the trip. We never felt rushed, and they made sure everyone was comfortable and knew what to expect. Our excursion included two snorkeling stops, and both were terrific. We saw turtles, fish of all sizes, and, of course, the famous Antilla shipwreck, which was a real highlight. The crew did a great job of guiding us and pointing out things we might otherwise have missed. The catamaran itself is on the smaller, more quaint side, but we actually found that to be a big plus. It was very comfortable and more than adequate for the excursion. Our group of six adults made the experience feel especially personal, and we really enjoyed having the opportunity to interact with the crew rather than being on a large, crowded boat. Another nice touch was the fresh fruit and tasty food served during the trip. Everything was simple, fresh, and exactly what you want after snorkeling. Overall, this was a great experience and an excellent value. The combination of a smaller boat, attentive crew, emphasis on safety, great snorkeling, good food, and a more personal atmosphere made this one of the highlights of our Aruba trip. Captain Jamil and Benjie took great care of us, and we would definitely recommend Banana’s Adventure Catamaran!

My favorite excursion in Aruba! Monteforte was having a mechanical problem and it was a Sunday so didn’t have a mechanic on hand which was no problem cause they had the biggest, most luxurious catamaran there waiting as a replacement! Wonderful trip, crew was fantastic, drinks and food were top notch! Great day sailing up and down the coastline!

My Experience was an Amazing Experience. I would do it again and again 😌. From the host to the entire crew staff . They made me feel comfortable and excited to see what the tour brings. Very knowledgeable about what we will see while we were under the sea 🌊. The corals fish and shipwreck was very nice 😊. I felt like I was looking at the titanic in real time 🥰. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with me

Excellent family experience with Pelican Adventures Aruba We had a fantastic experience with the Pelican Adventures Aruba during our family trip. We chose the boat tour in the afternoon, with a stop for snorkeling, and everything exceeded our expectations. The organization has been impeccable since boarding. The boarding staff showed professionalism, sympathy and a lot of attention to the passengers throughout the ride. Everyone was extremely helpful, always concerned about the comfort and safety of the participants. The snorkeling moment was one of the highlights of the experience. The directions were clear and the chosen stop provided an excellent opportunity to appreciate the marine life and the crystal clear waters of Aruba. Another highlight was the food service on board. The snacks were varied and well served, accompanied by drinks and aperitives available during the tour. Everything was offered with a lot of cordiality and efficiency by the crew. The combination of beautiful landscapes, excellent structure, attentive care and pleasant environment made this tour a special memory for the whole family. I highly recommend Pelican Adventures Aruba for those who want to enjoy the sea of Aruba with comfort, safety and a high quality service. Without a doubt, one of the best experiences of our trip.

The meeting point was easy to find. They provide everything necessary for snorkeling and there is an open bar on board (my children took advantage of the non-alcoholic drinks, aside from some snacks that were also available and were very delicious). At the first spot (Catalina) you see few fish and it is suitable for all ages. The second spot (Antilla, the shipwreck) is the bomb: it was impressive to be able to see a sunken ship of that magnitude without needing to scuba dive (the history of the ship is also super interesting), aside from finding a greater number of fish species in this place. There is more current here, but my 10-year-old son was able to do it without major problems (I do not recommend it for anyone younger). It goes without saying that you always have to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, etc., as in all of Aruba. The staff on board is very helpful and friendly, which is important when traveling with minors. Everyone speaks English, Spanish, and Dutch perfectly. I recommend it.

Very fun crew! Food and drinks were provided. The scenery and snorkeling sites were beautiful! We had our children with us, ages 9-13, and they had an awesome time as well. The water was a little rough at the first site but seeing the shipwreck was really cool. The second site was very calm and we saw lots of marine life.

The excursion had all of the elements we were looking for: full day, snorkeling, food and a celebratory atmosphere for a reasonable price. When we arrived at the meeting point, we realized it was the same trip we’d booked 13 years ago! The conditions were better and the amenities and crew were as good as ever. Higher value for the rope swing and open bar second trip around. Love the Jolly Pirates!!
