Just did a sunset cruise in Aruba yesterday and I’m still thinking about it 😍🌅 From the moment we got on the boat, the vibes were perfect! music playing, drinks flowing, and the crew was super friendly and made sure everyone was having a good time. The views were honestly unreal… watching the sun set over the water like that felt like a movie. Everything was really well organized, and it didn’t feel rushed at all. It was the perfect mix of relaxing and fun. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip! If you’re coming to Aruba, I 100% recommend doing a sunset cruise—it’s such a beautiful experience and worth every second ✨🌊

Melissa_J, Jul 2026

It was a nice boat ride the staff was nice and friendly but I wish it would have been cancelled since it was cloudy all day and there was no sunset at all not even sun poking out but it wasn’t so we went anyway so we didn’t loose our money wish it would have went up towards the light house also we had family that has not been here so it was kinda disappointing

The crew and everyone on board was super friendly, helpful, and fun! The vibes were immaculate, the drinks were good but the appetizers were amazing!!! I could not recommend this excursion more!!!

Beautiful views!

Teresa_W, Jun 2026

It was a lot of fun! I felt a little underdressed. It's a great opportunity to wear a tropical sun dress!

A Sunset to Die For

Christian_T, Jun 2026

Had a phenomenal time! Seeing the sunset shine across the water really makes you feel like you’re in a Caribbean paradise! Food was a little scarce considering the number of people we had, but it tasted fine and the drinks were great. The crew was fantastic and made the experience so enjoyable!

Fun night in Aruba

sunny_I, Jun 2026

Great Sunset

Murilo_V, Jun 2026

It was a great experience, with a very pleasant vibe and a relaxed atmosphere, complemented by background music. The crew was very attentive throughout. As an area for improvement, they could offer more appetizer options and in larger quantities.

Sunset cruise

This was such a fun experience. Our boat was filled with young and old alike, and everyone had a great time!

This is worth taking, ...

joann_t, Jun 2026

This is worth taking, beautiful sunsets and the crew was amazing !!! The food and drinks were fantastic. Highly recommend

Unpredictable sunset experience

Deborah_T, Jun 2026

We love Aruba. We booked our sunset catamaran cruise about a month ago. The weather in Aruba this week was not ideal for a boat trip / sunset with very high winds, rough waters and cloudy skies. I reached out to to the tour company ask about the possibility to reschedule or cancel, and was told they had a strict 24 hour cancellation policy and would not offer a rebooking. We were disappointed and unfortunately did lose 100 percent our entire payment for 4 people. My suggestion for travelers is to wait until arrival in Aruba to book sunset related water excursions.

Beautiful way to see the sun going down

Abby_B, Jun 2026

if you want to enjoy the later, part of the day early evening and catch the sunset this catamaran sunset tour is perfect. We went with two other couples and enjoyed a two hour sightseeing evening. They serve drinks and hors d'oeuvres while we enjoyed the music and the sunset.

Bill_L, Jun 2026

The crew and sail itself were excellent. The drinks were good and prepared well but the selections of food served was very limited and not as enjoyable as our past excirsions. Not sure I would recommend to others

Response from Host, Jun 2026

I'm very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the crew, the sailing experience, and the quality of the drinks. Our team works hard to create a memorable evening on the water, so it's wonderful to know they made a positive impression.

I would love the opportunity to welcome you back aboard so we can provide a second opinion on our food selection. Please contact me directly at management@redsailaruba.com, and I will be happy to arrange a complimentary sail for you and a guest. Thank you again for your honest feedback.

Amazing

Kathleen_Y, May 2026

Amazing is the best word to describe this tour. Dion was our captain and Lizzy was the bartender. This was so much fun. My friend and I are in our 70's and thoroughly enjoyed this. Food of Quiche, meatballs and wings were very tasty. The Aruba Ariba drinks were very good. Would highly recommend it.

So Much Fun!!!

Lori_K, May 2026

This was one of the best sunset cruises we have ever taken. The boat was perfect. The crew was phenomenal. We highly recommend this cruise.

Disappointed

Art_T, May 2026

We never made it to the sunset cruise. We are awaiting a full refund because we couldn’t locate where the tour was

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Art, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you were unable to locate the departure location and missed the Sunset Sail. I reviewed the reservation and, unfortunately, the booking was recorded as a no-show for the tour. As outlined in our policies, no-shows are in principle non-refundable, as space on the sail is reserved specifically for each guest. That said, I would still like to better understand what happened and review the circumstances surrounding your experience. Please feel free to contact me directly at management@redsailaruba.com with your booking details so I can personally look into the matter further. Best regards, Peter

Extraordinary experience!

James_M, May 2026

It was a fun, very enjoyable experience. Had no great expectations going in, but the crew was fun, the boat was nice, the people were great, and, of course, the sunset was beautiful.

Overall, a very good...

Steve_G, May 2026

Overall, a very good experience. Easy to board from the pier, plenty of seating, friendly staff. I only complaint was that there was not really any effort put into the Tripp, we just left. The pier did a few laps in the ocean and went back. No one explained where we were pointed out any sites or anything fun. Also, the drinks were average. Overall, I would do it again, but with manage expectations.

Great time on the water...

Stacey_S, May 2026

Great time on the water with friends . Boat crew fantastic and very attentive . Sunset on the water was amazing.

Sunset sail

debbie_w, May 2026

There was a group using the sail ride as there free wedding reception and they took over most of the covered area dancing and singing and were very rude. Too many people I almost did not get on because it was so crowded. Good awful, drinks ok

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Debbie, Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience was impacted by the wedding group on board. While we love seeing guests celebrate special moments with us, it sounds like their enthusiasm took away from the experience you were expecting, and that’s not what we aim for. Your comments regarding the crowding and overall atmosphere are taken seriously. I appreciate you joining us, and I would like the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to me directly at management@redsailaruba.com, and I’ll ensure we find a way to properly compensate you for this experience. Warm regards, Peter
