Top Aruba Sailing

We have a fun and relaxing snorkel and sunset cruise! We loved that each of us had our own comfortable padded lounge chairs especially when seeing other tours where people were either standing or sitting upright side by side in seats. The watermelon and sandwiches were also very yummy! Staff was pleasant and helpful. The only complaint (if you call it that) was that beer was not an option as an alcoholic beverage.

It just occurred to me that I've taken this same sunset cruise with this company four years in a row, and I never took the time to leave a review. I highly recommend this company. The catamaran provides an extremely enjoyable sail and the staff does a great job. The hors d’oeuvres are very good and my kids really enjoy them especially. There's an open bar, but it never turns into a crazy booze cruise, making it great for families. I'll definitely be back next year for my 5th cruise in a row.

Our afternoon snorkel was a blast!!! I just missed seeing a sea turtle by the ship wreck. The waters were really rough. My husband had a blast jumping off the boat many times. This is a MUST DO during your vacation. Great for kids and adults. There are so much sealife to discover snorkeling . ****Something I wanted to point out. Tipping has become common place for all kinds of services nowadays in the U.S. However, at the conclusion of our snorkeling trip so many people walked past the tip jar. These men worked hard to make our trip amazing from working the boat, bartending, teaching/informing and entertaining everyone. THIS IS A TIPPABLE SERVICE, just like dinner at a restaurant. Servers have just one job to serve your food and drink. In 2 hours these crew members work very hard for us. Please be mindful of this if you book a cruise or stay at an all inclusive resort.

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.

Crew was nice and dance instructor was energetic. They offered a variety of cocktails and the meat appetizers were hearty. The vibe was pleasant and chill with lots of space and responsible adults. My young adult kids relaxed at the front enjoying the view and ocean breeze with their drinks. I had a great time learning the salsa and having cocktails with a beautiful sunset:)

I have been a charter boat captain for 15 years, 10 in the Virgin Islands and 5 in San Diego, CA, so I have an exceptionally high bar for customer service, safety and overall tour experience. Prior to even getting on the tour, this company was extremely well organized and every single employee I came in contact with was friendly and helpful! Great first impression. Then after we got onboard the boat, we got a detailed yet brief safety briefing. Other boats in Aruba Id been on, never even gave one and did not care about safety at all plus the boats were in extremely poor condition. Huge plus that safety matters to this company, especially as a solo female traveler. Captain and crew were respectful, professional and fun which is a difficult thing to accomplish but they did it extremely well. Two snorkel stops with briefings, very relaxed trip and crew made it a point to speak to all the guests and be a part everyone’s experience, not just certain groups. They made this experience wonderful for everyone and didnt just hang out at the helm away from guests. It’s hard to impress me as Ive run boats in the Caribbean for a decade- but I never tire of seeing turtles and at one point I had 6 around me. You cant plan what will be in the ocean, but all crew pointing things out to all guests to make sure you get the best out of their experience is a huge win for all! Working boats 2-4 trips a day in the sun and saltwater is hard, it wears on your body and even though it’s beautiful- the job and being “On” can be exhausting day after day. This captain and crew did an excellent job keeping people safe, engaged and tailoring the tour to each group of people on board. Plus the music level was amazing- thank you for NOT having the music blaring. People still had fun and partied but the kids and older (35+) people on the boat still have their eardrums! This is THE tour for all ages. Again, I have an exceptionally high bar for snorkel boat tours, and this one is one I would would absolutely do many times again. I believe the Captain was Dennis and the crew was Brandon & Junior (sorry if I got that wrong) you all were great and know that you're appreciated from someone that understands all that you do, not just for the things that are seen by people on the tour. I rarely leave reviews but the ones that really go above and beyond deserve recognition. Thank you for a wonderful trip, my first trip to Aruba has been one for the books and it will not be my last. When I come back to Aruba, I will be booking on Red Sail again. Please make sure this review gets to the guys that worked this trip so they know are very much appreciated! Thank you very much for the amazing experience!

This was an interesting experience. It was neat to be able to see a sunken shipwreck and all the beautiful fish and turtles. For someone that is claustrophobic knowing that I wasn’t “trapped underwater” was helpful. The three guides we had were wonderful, fun, full of energy and knowledgeable. The older women who is from the island was really a delight. This is a neat experience and definitely geared a little more for children.

Our favorite adventure of the week. We’ve done other snorkeling and catamarans here but nothing beats the Jolly Pirates. The boat is cool, staff is fun and friendly, great for family. Be careful the Rum Punch hits haha. Captain Ron and his crew are awesome! Great time and adventure!
