Very personable, great atmosphere and vibe, and yes good drinks and food !
The weather of course cooperated in Aruba, so it was a slam dunk….

Jr. and his crew were amazing! Drinks were strong and good, food was authentic and delicious, and the music was a vibe. This is my second time doing this, but my family’s first and they also loved it! Would definitely recommend.

Easy to walk to when staying on Palm Beach. Upon boarding we were informed of how the evening would go and then we could move about the boat. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit. Of course it’s very windy. The food was great…-chicken and fish! We had a few different cocktails- all good. The live music wasn’t a band, but was a steel drummer adding to popular dance music. After dinner there were some people dancing inside and some people just relaxing on deck. The crew was awesome. It was a very great time and good value.

Great food, great drinks, great crew, GREAT FUN!!!!! Our group of four really enjoyed the Sunset Cruise and plan to do it again next time back in the island.
Sonya_B, Feb 2026
The food was great. Crew was helpful and friendly. Music was nice. The Captain was comical and funny. Captain did a great job!

Eva_B, Dec 2025
Lots of fun on a relaxed atmosphere great food and drink staff is great and entertaining would highly recommend
Jimmy_L, Dec 2025
The boat is too small for the number of passengers booked. Not enough seating area for this many passengers. The alcohol is rot gut cheap as you can buy. The food was decent, about what you would expect. We have been on a number of sunset cruises at other destinations. This one was the least enjoyable. Did not see much of the island because we did not travel very far up the shore. Particularly did not like the crew communication with regard to giving a 5-star review. If you want 5-star reviews, give a 5-star experience and service. This one is a 3-star experience. The crude joke about giving a 5-star review or stay off the internet was in poor taste in light of the service given. Overall, a boring cruise.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hi Jimmy,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate that you left an honest 3 star review; we never ask our guests to inflate their ratings, only to share genuine feedback that helps us learn and improve.
I’m sorry to hear that your sail didn’t meet expectations. We strive for every Aruba Sunset Sail to feel relaxed, comfortable, and memorable, so it’s disappointing to hear that the crowding and pacing fell short for you. Regarding the drinks, we feature spirits and craft beers mainly from local distillers and brewers, as part of our effort to support the island’s growing community of producers. Most guests enjoy discovering these flavors, but we understand they’re not always to everyone’s taste, and we’ll take note of your perspective.
As for the tone during your cruise, that “joke” about reviews doesn’t reflect how we want our team to engage with guests. I’ll personally make sure to address it with our crew.
We’d like to make this right. Please contact me directly through management@redsailaruba.com, I’d be happy to offer either a refund or a complimentary sail, so we have the opportunity to provide the full 5 star experience you expected from us.
Warm regards,
Peter

Was a disaster. We didn't go. Your on line rep promised our party would be only ones on boat after I specifically asked TWICE. Got to boat and found out 36 people on a small boat. Total misrepresentation. Ruined an otherwise beautiful view renewal event. You should be ashamed. I intend to dispute the cgarge
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Bob,
I sincerely apologize for this significant miscommunication regarding your special vow renewal event. A private charter experience should never have been misrepresented, especially for such an important celebration. This is completely unacceptable on our part.
I need to investigate this matter immediately and make it right for you. Please contact me directly at management@redsailaruba.com so I can review the booking details, understand precisely what was promised, and work toward a proper resolution.
Your disappointment is completely justified, and I'm committed to addressing this personally.
Sincerely,
Peter

We had a cocktail at Piets pier bar while waiting to board. Immediately after boarding we were told how everything would go and then we could move about the boat. The food was fantastic! We had Aruba Ariba cocktails. We got good pictures of the sunset. After dinner there was some people dancing inside and some people just relaxing on deck. The crew was awesome. It was a very good time.
Kelly_M, Sep 2025
We had a great time! The sunset was beautiful, and seeing the bioluminescence was an unexpected bonus. The food was just okay, but the experience made it worth it.
Rebecca_R, Sep 2025
this cruise was awesome! dennis and all of the crew were so much fun and hilarious, i was worried i was going to feel out of place being solo on this - but far from that. everyone was so nice and the food was amazing. definitely wanted to be on it for a little longer but i would do it again!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Dear Rebecca,
Thank you so much for the fantastic review. We’re thrilled to hear you had such an awesome time onboard, and that Dennis and the crew helped make you feel right at home. Solo or not, there’s always a place (and a smile) waiting for you with us!
We’re especially glad you enjoyed the dinner. We take great pride in the quality and variety of food we serve on our dinner cruises. It’s one of the things that sets us apart, and our team puts a lot of care into making sure there’s something for everyone to enjoy: freshly made, flavorful, and never an afterthought.
Next time you’re in Aruba, we’d love to have you back on board, and who knows, maybe for an even longer sail!
Warm regards,
Peter

What an incredible evening! The captain and his crew were amazing, they made the sunset cruise so much fun. Will absolutely recommend this trip to anyone I know coming to Aruba!
Lynn_B, Jul 2025
This sunset sail was a wonderful way to end the day! The atmosphere was so relaxed and fun. I loved the music, and the food was delicious!
Jan_S, Jul 2025
This catamaran trip was fantastic! I spent a considerable amount of time researching different options, and I’m glad we chose this one—it was the right decision.
The boat was spacious and not overcrowded, which made for a very relaxing experience. The food was great, and the staff took excellent care of us throughout the trip.
The only downside was that the steel drum music—one of the main reasons we booked this trip—was only played during boarding. It would have been even better if it continued throughout the cruise.
Still, overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would book this trip again!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hi Jan,
Thank you for the great review and for choosing us after all your research, we’re honored to hear it was the right decision!
I’m glad the spacious setting, great food, and attentive crew made your evening relaxing and enjoyable. We work hard to deliver a smooth and memorable experience, so your feedback really means a lot.
That said, I appreciate your note about the steel drum music. It’s a signature part of the Caribbean vibe, and it is strange that the steel pan player did not play throughout the sail.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in Aruba. Thanks again for sailing with us!
Warm regards,
Peter

Dinner cruise was great. Kevin and crew were very entertaining and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this for a relaxing time. The weather was optimal with a breeze blowing. Not to hot and to cold.
Charles_E, Jun 2025
Well prepared, great food, excellent crew. One of the entertainment experiences for my wife's birthday.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hi Charles,
Thank you for the kind words, and what an honor to be part of your wife’s birthday celebration!
We’re thrilled to hear that the dinner cruise lived up to your expectations, from the food to the crew to the overall experience. Our team puts a lot of heart into making these moments special, and it means a lot to know we delivered for such an important occasion.
We hope to welcome you both back on board the next time you're in Aruba!
Stay well,
Peter

Amazing food and service! Fun music! Great people! The weather was perfect! I have done this tour twice!
Edward_M, Feb 2025
Friendly and efficient staff. Ensured everyone had a good time. Lively music and decent food. Drinks and food were plentiful. A lovely casual evening on a comfortable boat with beautiful scenery. Only negative-the greeter on the dock was very surly and unwelcoming. Did not set a good tone.
Vladimira_P, Jan 2025
Excellent! Funny crew, good music, good cocktails and fine food. On a buffet was salad with rancho dressing, coconut rice, baked potatoes with veggies, grouper with creole seasoning, chicken in mushroom sauce and some sort of lasagna. Everything was very tasty. The only thing I was missing was a mojito or margarita because all cocktails were sweet.
Charlene_C, Jan 2025
Friendly, great crew. Amazing food. Very outgoing. Meet very interesting people on board. Watched the sun set. Would highly recommend for anyone. Can't wait to come back
Sandy_T, Jan 2025
