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!

Smooth sailing. Great music. Good way to spend a couple hours enjoying the views , the sunset and some cocktails. Crew were all great
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!

Excellent sunset cruise! Professional and respectful staff, fun too! Three high school besties celebrating our 65th trip around the sun! Following the sunset cruise, we had dinner at Pelican Grill which was delicious!

It says check in at 5 but you can’t board the boat until 5:30. Oh and if you have a car, it’s $2/hr cash to park at Holiday inn which is convenient.
We really loved the cruise.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience and those helpful parking tips too! You're absolutely right: check-in begins at 5 PM so we can smoothly welcome all our guests, and boarding starts at 5:30 sharp for on-time departure.
We're happy to hear you loved the cruise, and we'd be thrilled to have you sail with us again soon!

Was a great cruise and great music… just too many people. Crew and bar and views were amazing and highly recommended!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for the kind words about the crew, music and views, we’re thrilled those aspects stood out! We’re truly sorry if the boat felt full, we always operate within the safe capacity limits of our catamarans, but your comfort is important to us and we’ll be reviewing your feedback with our team. We hope to welcome you back for a relaxing sail!

The crew was friendly. They played good music. The ride was smooth and views were amazing. For snacks we would have liked a veggie option for the croquette and empanada.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're so happy to read you enjoyed the smooth ride, the views, and the great vibes onboard! As for the snacks, we truly appreciate your feedback. We do our best to offer a balanced selection that includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian option, like pastechi, croquettes, and usually a veggie spring roll or cheese ball, so there's options for everyone. That said, we’ll certainly keep your comment in mind as we continue refining the experience. Hope to see you again soon for another beautiful sail in Aruba!
