We had a wonderful and unforgettable sunset experience on the boat! The views were absolutely breathtaking as the sky filled with beautiful colors over the water. The atmosphere was peaceful and magical, making it the perfect way to end the day. The crew was warm, attentive, and made the entire experience even more special. It’s truly a moment we will always remember. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stunning and relaxing sunset at sea!

The experience itself was a lot of fun! The first and second mates, especially Jersey, were absolutely fantastic and made the trip even more enjoyable. There were plenty of snacks and unlimited drinks throughout the excursion, and the crew helped everyone board and disembark from the smaller boat to the catamaran. As someone with a disability, I really appreciated the extra assistance—it made the experience much more comfortable.
The only downside was the woman at the check-in desk. She was surprisingly rude and, honestly, left such a poor first impression that I almost didn't want to go. She was the only unfriendly person we encountered during our entire honeymoon. Thankfully, once we got on the boat, the crew completely turned the experience around. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend it!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Elizabeth,

We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had at check-in. That's certainly not the first impression we want to leave with our guests, especially during such a special trip as your honeymoon. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we'll be sharing your feedback with our team so we can improve.
Thank you for your kind recommendation despite this experience. We hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Aruba and provide you with the warm, friendly service you deserve from start to finish. Congratulations again, and best wishes to you both! ❤️🌴

Julia_R, Jul 2026
It was a really nice cruise. I went with just my 7 yr old daughter and she loved it. The swing and the slide were a hit and you’re able to snorkel and swim around. The sunset was fantastic even though it was cloudy all day. The crew could’ve been a little nicer and a little more warm and welcoming but we kept a positive attitude. Bring a sweater because it can get really cold when you’re wet and going back with the strong Aruba winds. Would definitely go again.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Julia,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We are truly happy to hear that you and your daughter had a wonderful time onboard and that she enjoyed the swing, slide, snorkeling, and swimming experience.
We are also delighted that you were able to enjoy the beautiful sunset, even with the cloudy weather throughout the day. Creating memorable moments for families is something we truly value, and we are glad you had the opportunity to share this special experience together.
We sincerely appreciate your comments regarding the crew. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will continue working to ensure every guest feels welcomed, comfortable, and well taken care of from the moment they arrive.
Thank you as well for sharing your helpful tip about bringing a sweater, as Aruba’s trade winds can feel refreshing after swimming. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be honored to welcome you and your daughter back onboard again for another amazing cruise experience.

Terri_W, Jun 2026
Please know that you will boarding and exiting from the beach in at least 2 or 3 feet of water so wear shorts or beachwear. There are steps to climb on the boat too. Once on board it was a good ride with music, drinks ( no beer) and a cold snack tuna or chicken wrap. Staff were very friendly. Boat stopped in the water and you are able to jump off into the water. It was fun and a beautiful sunset. Takes about 2 hours max. Definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Terri,

Autumn_L, Jun 2026
The drinks from the soda dispenser the bartender used tasted like gasoline; even the water. That was the primary mixer for the well drinks. It was awful.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi Autumn,
Thank you for bringing this to our immediate attention. We are deeply sorry that your drinks tasted this way and that this ruined your experience with us.
We took your feedback incredibly seriously and launched an immediate investigation into our beverage system. We want to reassure you and future guests that we have confirmed there was absolutely no gasoline in our soda dispenser, water supply, or storage tanks. However, we did discover that a small amount of fuel had leaked externally near the bar area during routine maintenance earlier that day. Because gasoline fumes are incredibly strong, the airborne odor unfortunately affected the flavor perception of the drinks served nearby.
While we are glad the beverage system itself was completely uncontaminated, we deeply regret that this strong environmental odor ruined your refreshments. We are taking immediate steps with our maintenance team to ensure this never happens during operations again.
Kimberly_B, Jun 2026
This excursion was great! Such a fun time seeing the beauty of Aruba. The music, drinks, snacks, and vibes were amazing. Watching the sunset on the water was breathtaking! The crew was phenomenal. They ensured we had fun, and the captain even made a dive into the water to save someone’s phone! Top notch service for sure! Definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi Kimberly,
Thank you for the wonderful review!
We're so glad you enjoyed the sunset, the atmosphere, and our crew.
We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

Our specific cruise was full of some of the most fun people! The crew interacted & joined into what turned into a dance party! It was too cloudy to actually see the sun set, but we left very happy.

Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the cruise and had such a fun time with the crew. Even without the sunset view, we’re glad it turned into a great experience for you!
Mo_B, Jun 2026
I would like to express my concern regarding Fredrick (as identified to me by a staff member), who was driving the boat on May 25. Unfortunately, both my guest and I found his behavior to be unprofessional and discourteous. Throughout our interaction, he displayed a noticeably rude and unpleasant attitude, which negatively impacted our experience. As paying guests, we expected to be treated with courtesy and respect, and this interaction fell well below those expectations.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Dear Mo,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and that the interaction you described did not reflect the level of professionalism and hospitality we strive to provide.
We expect all members of our team to treat guests with courtesy and respect at all times, and it is concerning to learn that this was not your experience. Please be assured that your comments will be taken seriously and shared with our management team for review and follow-up.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us address areas where we can improve. We are grateful for your visit and regret that this aspect of your experience impacted your overall enjoyment.
Lindsay_A, Jun 2026
If you want a party boat, this is it! I didn’t.
There were two boats going out at the same time- I was unknowingly put on the party boat but others were put on the chill sunset cruise for the same tour. The chill cruise would have been my preference. The music was blaring the whole time, the safety briefing was non existent and not one member of the crew spoke to me the entire trip. The captain didnt cleat off the dinghy painter to the boat and only used his foot to hold the line which extremely unsafe for all. I used to captain charter boats in the Caribbean for a decade- this tour was lacking in my experience, but may be wonderful for others. They did however, get us to and from safely, we got to see the sunset and had two delicious drinks.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Dear Lindsay,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the sunset, the drinks, and that you felt safe during the trip, but we’re truly sorry that other aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations.
We would like to clarify that we do not offer two distinct types or styles of cruises; rather, we operate two different boats, and the overall vibe and atmosphere on any given day depend entirely on the mix of guests who happen to book for that specific trip. We regret if there was any mismatch in the overall energy on board compared to what you were hoping for.
Your comments regarding the safety briefing and crew interaction are taken very seriously. Safety and clear communication are our top priorities, and we will be reviewing these observations with our team to ensure our procedures are executed properly.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, especially given your own maritime experience, as it helps us monitor and improve our service.

Melvin_J, Jun 2026
I booked this sunset cruise expecting a relaxing family-friendly experience along the beautiful Aruban coast. Unfortunately, what we encountered was more of a party boat atmosphere than the sunset cruise that was described. The music was extremely loud and filled with repeated profanity, including frequent use of explicit language. I was traveling with my 12-year-old child, and there were several other young children on board as well. The language and volume were inappropriate for a mixed-age audience and made the experience uncomfortable for our family. To be clear, alcohol was not the issue. The guests were generally well-behaved, the vessel was nice, and the crew was friendly and professional. The sunset itself was beautiful, and the fruit punch and snacks were enjoyable.
My concern is that the cruise description, photos, and overall 4.6-star rating did not accurately reflect the party-style atmosphere we experienced. Families looking for a scenic Caribbean sunset cruise with a stop for swimming or water activities should be aware that the environment may be more geared toward an adult party crowd. I would simply encourage the operators to consider that not all guests are looking for a vulgar, high-volume party experience. A little more consideration for families and those seeking a relaxing sunset cruise would go a long way.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hello Melvin,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback with us.
We are truly grateful that you chose to join our sunset cruise, and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful sunset, the service provided by our crew, as well as the snacks and refreshments on board.
At the same time, we sincerely regret that certain aspects of the atmosphere did not fully meet your expectations, particularly regarding the music volume and content. We understand your concerns, especially as you were traveling with family, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is very valuable and will be carefully reviewed with our team to ensure we continue to improve the experience we offer to all of our guests.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on board again in the future and providing you with an experience that better matches your expectations.
Thomas_H, May 2026
Amazing time! So much fun. Definitely a fun party vibe that included open bar Caribbean music/dancing but also some time to swim in the clear water and use the rope swing. Captain Fredrick and first mate Jose were very kind and accommodating. Would definitely do again!
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Thomas,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time on board and enjoyed the mix of party vibes, Caribbean music, swimming, and the rope swing. Captain Frederick and First Mate Jose will be very happy to know they made your experience even better.
We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon!
Eileen_P, May 2026
Our flight landed, we grabbed our bags, and we went straight from the airport to the boat. We didn't even have time to change, so we were definitely not rocking the typical breezy, picture-perfect "sunset cruise attire."
But honestly? It didn't matter at all.
From the moment we stepped on board, the crew was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home despite our travel-weary, airport-casual outfits. The views were absolutely stunning, the drinks were refreshing, and the vibe was so relaxing that all our travel stress melted away instantly.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Eileen,
Thank you for the kind review!
We’re so glad you felt welcomed after your travels and enjoyed the views, drinks, and relaxing atmosphere.
We hope to see you again soon!
Jeffrey_C, May 2026
Music was CRAZY loud. Like, injure your ears loud.
Boat was definitely overcrowded, and seating options were pretty lousy.
The slide was 6 feet out of the water, and super narrow, and they didn't even bother to turn on the water. Not sure who it's aimed at - kind of a weird slide for adults, but the drop means most kids can't do it either.
Drinks were OK and crew was friendly, only reason this is two stars.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the drinks and found our crew to be friendly and attentive.
We are sorry that certain aspects of the experience did not meet your expectations. Our catamaran tours are designed to create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere, and while many guests appreciate the music and social environment, we understand that preferences regarding volume can vary.
Regarding capacity, we operate within all safety regulations and never exceed the maximum number of guests permitted on board. We strive to provide a comfortable experience for everyone and appreciate your comments.
As for the slide, it is intended as a fun optional activity for guests who wish to use it. We regret that it did not meet your expectations and will take your feedback into consideration as we continue to evaluate and improve our guest experience.
Thank you again for your review. We value all feedback and are always looking for ways to enhance our tours.
