Great overall trip. Crew was welcoming and great entire time with them. Mixture of sailing and motor use. Open bar and food was pretty decent. Anchored off sore for dinner. Went back to start in the dark, great night views of the shoreline. Highly recommended.

Captain Rich and Junior made this a great evening. Relaxing sail with delicious dinner and plenty of drinks. Not a party vibe, more of a romantic one

Great customer service

My husband and I showed up for the Wednesday night dinner sunset cruise however I just didn’t feel well after being in the sun all day. I asked the lady at the front desk if there was anyway we could come back any other day of the week and she said sure come back tomorrow. We did lose out on the dinner part of the cruise, but we still got to experience the boat - and the sunset. She had everything set up for the following day; extremely accommodating, considering it was very last minute and we absolutely loved our sunset cruise!

This is a great sunset...

This was so much fun. The sunsets are amazing and the staff make it that much better. They are a fun group

Relaxing sunset sail.

Gary_S, Nov 2025
We have taken this same sunset dinner sail multiple times over the years. I never disappoints. This time was no different. The crew was attentive. The bartender was certain to please with any request. The buffet dinner was very good. The beef tenderloin was excellent, the fish, and the chicken was very good as well. The only thing that could have been better was the food temperature. This was due to a delay in pulling away from the pier. I would recommend this experience highly.

Best excursion ever!

Randall_H, Nov 2025
The crew, food, drinks were amazing. Our views met our expectations. Meeting new friends an absolute bonus! We would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a romantic setting, open to music and lots of laughs!!

Great time!!!

Dawn_M, Nov 2025
What a great time sailing & viewing the beautiful Aruba sunset!!! Dinner was so good!!! The staff always made sure our drinks were filled & couldn’t be nicer!!!

Amazing sunset cruise even on overcast days!

Brian_T, Oct 2025
We were immediately greeted by a delightful crew! It was probably 12 of us for the experience and were each given champagne upon boarding, given safety instructions, then we set sail. Music and drinks flowing. Then we were free to explore the boat. After about an hour we anchored and were given dinner. Even without a sun for the sunset the breeze and weather make it beautiful and enjoyable. I wish I could remember the names of our crew to give them props!!

Disappointed

Joanne_S, Oct 2025
Last night (10/15/25) we went on the sunset cruise. We spent an hour cruising and then anchored in a dark area close to shore for over an hour. This wasn't a sunset cruise, it was a sunset sit. Made me wonder if they were trying to save on fuel costs. I've been on many sunset cruises and I would rate this one the worst.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Joanne, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I truly regret that your sunset sail experience didn’t meet your expectations. I want to clarify that, due to changing weather conditions that evening, our captain made the decision to pause and remain in one sheltered area for a time to avoid a rain system moving across the route. The safety and comfort of our guests are always our top priorities, even when it sometimes changes the sailing plan. I completely understand that you were expecting a continuous sail and apologize that this adjustment impacted your enjoyment. As a gesture of goodwill, I’d like to invite you on a complimentary sunset sail on your next visit to Aruba. Please contact me directly at management@redsailaruba.com when you plan your return, and I’ll be happy to arrange it personally. Warm regards, Peter

Great sunset cruise!

John_S, Oct 2025

Fun night at sea, great...

Deb_V, Aug 2025
Fun night at sea, great sunset views and beautiful photo ops, the crew was awesome and the food wasn’t bad either!!

A Fantastic evening!!

Steve_C, Aug 2025
This sunset cruise was by far the best excursion we've done in years! The crew was fun and friendly, the food/drinks were fantastic, and could not have asked for a better sunset sail! They did actually put the sails up and cut the engine (we've been on other catamaran trips where they did not). Highly recommended!!

Great all around experience!

Michelle_R, Aug 2025
Great view, great entertainment, great food, great experience! Beautiful night out on the water! Highly recommended!

This was an A+. The food...

Ramona_W, Jul 2025
This was an A+. The food was delicious and the drinks kept pouring. The staff was fun and friendly and the music kept us dancing.

Book this!!!

Wynter_S, Jul 2025
I had so so much fun. My boyfriend sister and I went on this excursion and we got sat with a lovely couple and their 14 year old son. The views were so so amazing and the whole crowd on the boat was lovely. The vibes were amazing the entire trip and at the end they put on red and blue lights on the boat and the main deck turned into a dance floor and it everyone got up and danced together. 10000000/10 would do again

Epic sunset cruise.

Alexander_R, Jul 2025
The music was great. The staff was great. The food was great. And with anything if you have good people on the boat then a good time will be had by all.

Family vacation

Frandy, D'Angelo and Captain Richard were great hosts. The food was adequate and the drinks yummy. The music got the boat rockin' but without any motion sickness. Great commentary from Frandy throughout the evening.
