AMAZING! My husband and I traveled for our baby moon and wow what a great experience with this dinner cruise. Not a lot of people which was great, so not overly crowded at all. The food was AMAZING (shout chef kenya)!! The drinks were flowing, shout out bartendaa! The staff, in general, (shout out Jacky and Captain) was so accommodating, friendly, respectful and just a vibe. I highly recommend this!! They definitely accommodated me being pregnant and just made sure I was comfortable the whole time as well. 10/10 book!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for choosing Monforte for such a special trip. We’re so glad you and your husband felt comfortable and well cared for throughout the evening, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy this beautiful chapter together.
Chef Kenya, Jacky, our captain, and the rest of the team will be touched by your message.
Wishing you both all the very best,
The Pelican Adventures Team

Dining aboard the Montforte III was a delightful experience - everything from the live music to the 4-course meal prepared in front of us to the sunset. The crew and chef catered to our every need. Seating is limited, so you have room to move about and get drinks without a long wait. Kudos to the chef - it can't be easy cooking on a boat.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
It was a pleasure having you aboard Monforte! We’re glad the intimate setting gave you the freedom to move around, settle in, and enjoy each part of the evening comfortably.
Thank you for recognizing the care behind the experience.
Warm regards,

Delicious meal, great crew! We didn’t want to do a catamaran excursion. We wanted a nice dinner at sea and that’s exactly what we got. We were greeted with a glass of prosecco, a friendly crew, live guitar music, a delicious four-course meal and great vibes. 10/10 recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
What a wonderful review, thank you!
It means so much to know you found exactly the experience you were looking for. We'll be sure to share your kind words with our crew, they'll be thrilled to know they helped make your evening so special.
We'd be honored to welcome you aboard again on your next visit to Aruba,

This Catamaran dinner is free cancellation within 24 hours. They aren't kidding. If you wake up sick on the day of the dinner or some unforeseen circumstances happen, you are out of luck getting any kind of refund. We were a party of 7. We arrived at the pier at 5:30 and were told that the ship left 5 minutes prior to our arriving. No one called us to see if we were coming or were we planning on losing our $1162. I paid this trip off earlier then requested. At the same time, another couple showed up along with us and they also missed the boat. Now, the ship has our dinner, our open bar choices and our money. We have have nothing. They could have called us to see what was going on. We were only 5 minutes from the pier. In good faith, I won't reserve this catamaran dinner again. I believe they have poor customer service.
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Susan_B,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear that your evening did not unfold the way you had hoped, and we can only imagine how disheartening that must have felt for your entire group.
We would like to gently share some context surrounding your visit. Our sailing departs at 5:00 PM, and all guests are kindly requested to complete check-in by 4:30 PM. This is shared at the time of booking to help ensure every guest enjoys a seamless and stress-free start to their evening. Regrettably, our records show that your group arrived at 5:35 PM, by which time the sailing was already underway.
Our team was present and, with your comfort in mind, immediately offered two options: a full rescheduling of your experience, as well as a credit to enjoy a lovely meal at Pelican Nest Seafood Grill, conveniently located right there on Pelican Pier. We are sincerely sorry that neither felt like the right choice at that moment.
Your experience matters deeply to us, and we would welcome the chance to connect with you personally. Please feel free to reach out to us at marketing@pelican-aruba.com.
We truly hope to have the opportunity to turn this around for you.
Warm regards, The Pelican Adventures Team"

The sunset dinner cruise comes highly recommended from my wife and I. The crew was amazing and personable, the cocktails were delicious, and the food was absolutely incredible - the best we have had on the island so far! The captain took us to a beautiful part of the island to anchor out for dinner and everyone had an amazing time!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
What a joy to read you! We're thrilled you loved the sunset dinner cruise and that the food, cocktails, and crew all made it such a highlight. We'll be ready to welcome you back anytime!

Sara_B, Nov 2025
Was very impressed with the food, especially the red snapper ceviche which was outstanding! Nice night out, but I don't know that I would call it much of a cruise... we sailed for maybe 20 min and stayed docked maybe 200 yards from shore for the rest of the time before returning at the conclusion so that was disappointing. The crew / staff were all amazing, we had a good time and met some great people but if you are really looking to get out on the water and away from the shore this isn't the one. (people removed from the pics for privacy but there were several guests).
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear Sara,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, we’re delighted to know you enjoyed the evening, the crew, and especially our red snapper ceviche, one of our chef’s signature dishes!
This experience is centered around the onboard culinary journey prepared by our private chef. The schooner anchors mid-cruise in a calm, scenic area so guests can enjoy their four-course dinner comfortably, without the movement of the boat. The anchoring spot is chosen intentionally to create the right setting for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience at sea.
We truly appreciate your feedback and recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience soon.
Warm island regards,
The Pelican Adventures Team

I love tailored, customized experiences that are curated for small groups to enjoy fine dining, music, open bar, and engaging conversations with other couples.
