We had such a wonderful time together sailing along the beautiful Aruban coast line. The water is the most beautiful turquoise blue you could imagine! The music, the staff & the other tourists made it such a special & memorable evening watching the sunset!

Wonderful sailing experience . David was a great host, capt Ruben kept the boat smooth sailing. Nice touch having fruit on a stick as an appetizer, the other food offerings were hot , tasty and plentiful. I would highly recommend this tour.

There is so much going on that makes this trip fun! There is singing, and dancing and a wind surfer stopped by a few times, and he did tricks for us! There were beautiful seagulls,. that accompanied use throughout the whole trip. We got a picture of the pirate boat sailing in front of the sunset. The crew was great. You should have a professional photographer on board!
Response from Host, May 2026
Wow, it sounds like you caught the perfect sunset magic on board! We're so glad you enjoyed the music, the dancing, and having the seagulls accompany you along the way. Thank you for the feedback and the great suggestion about the photographer! We hope to have you back with us for more unforgettable moments soon.

Pepper, Kiwi, and the captain took great care of us for this sunset cruise. It was open bar (liquors only) and some snacks (limited snacks, but we had dinner reservations after the cruise so the food was unimportant). We stayed on the west side of the island and it was beautiful. I was a little worried as I get sea sick and it was crazy windy. The catamaran was stable and large enough that I didn’t get sick. I did wear pants after reading about all the skirts flying up w the wind. Would recommend this boat ride
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re really glad you felt comfortable and could relax enough to enjoy the sunset. Our crew will be happy to know they helped make it such a smooth and enjoyable evening for you!
Hope we get to welcome you back onboard next time you’re on the island.

Nancy_J, Apr 2026
My husband and I chose this tour because we had my elderly parents with us, and wanted a less party and more relaxed experience. This trip did not disappoint, plenty of room to sit back and relax looking out into the beautiful ocean, shoreline, wind in your hair, music in the background and a windsurfer sailed by a few times keeping us entertained us as well. The crew was great and the sunset was beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
So nice to read this, thank you Nancy! We’re really glad you had such a smooth and enjoyable afternoon out on the water.
Hope we get to have you back again next time you’re in Aruba!

The crew we had were absolutely amazing! I was a little concerned after trying to talk to the people at the check in area, but we ran into Alberto while waiting for them to open up check in and he was super friendly and funny. We got put on his ship with Orlando and Sam. Every member of the crew was focused on making sure we had a great time. Orlando kept the drinks flowing with a smile, and Sam took care of everyone’s needs- played the best tunes, danced with us. Alberto steered us along safely and let my friend have a titanic moment with him haha seriously, these guys are the best! I could not have imagined having so much fun on a sunset cruise!!!
Response from Host, Jan 2026

This was okay, lovely sunset good drinks and munchies. they motored around the whole time and we would have preferred sails up. very noisy we enjoyed it nonetheless but will look for a different Sunset Cruise next time.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Dear Guest,
Thank you for your honest feedback and for joining us on board! We’re so glad you enjoyed the sunset, the unlimited beverage service, and the overall atmosphere during your cruise. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
Regarding your comment about sailing: the sails are raised during the trip, but there are times when the wind is either too low or too strong, which can complicate navigation. For the safety of our guests and crew, we may then decide to run on the motor to safely and smoothly maneuver the vessel. It’s also worth noting that sometimes the engines remain on only to provide continuous power for essential onboard systems, such as lighting and the sound system.
We completely understand your perspective and sincerely apologize that this was not explained during your cruise. Our crew is happy to clarify these details so guests can better understand how the vessel operates. We will follow up with the team to reinforce the importance of sharing this information on board.
If you’d like to tell us more about your experience, please feel free to reach us at marketing@pelican-aruba.com.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you back on board in the future!
