We absolutely loved this sailing—it was such a fun and memorable experience! The entire crew was incredible: welcoming, energetic, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone had a great time. From the music to the dancing and nonstop laughs, it truly felt like something guests of all ages could enjoy.
If you’re on the fence, don’t be—definitely DO IT! You won’t regret it.
We also appreciated the included snack and drink, which was a nice touch. One suggestion for improvement would be to offer a non-meat or vegetarian option. Since the ticket includes refreshments, it would be great if all guests—regardless of dietary preferences—had something they could enjoy. Even a simple option like veggies and dip would go a long way.
Overall, an amazing experience that we would absolutely do again!

More drink options are available other than Mojitos.
Like all of Aruba, it’s very windy on board so hair , dress,hats may be blown.
Dance lessons were fun for all ages!
Food bites on board , though tasty, will not fill you up in place of dinner.

Had a great time with the crew. Dancing, blowing whistles, singing. Good drinks. I even told the bartender how to make a Seven & Seven drink. Top it off with a great sunset. Peper and crew get a thumbs up! A highly recommended tour.

The beautiful sunset!!! We were out there practically touch it. The crew is beyond fun and competent, the first mate, the Captain, tha dance instructor, the bar tender!!! We had so much fun with the other guests of all ages!!! We danced the evening away!!! It even started raining and we just laughed til it passed and we're rewarded with a double rainbow. We plan our arrival for Thursdays so we can kick off our vacation in fun high style with this cruise. Oh and the nachos snack was delicious. A must do every trip!!

What a fun romantic cruise. My wife and I had a great time. It was nice to sit up on the trampoline in the front of the catamaran. We visited and enjoyed the amazing views as the sun set. The dancing was a lot of fun at the end. We really enjoyed the carnival dance. Highly recommend this adventure.
Matthew_C, May 2024
Franklin was great, the rest of the crew was great to be with. Very enjoyable evening on the water. Even learned a few dance moves.

Chi_C, Oct 2022
Fantastic cruise with an amazing crew. Dance lesson was really fun even if you don’t know a thing about mamba or cha cha. The instructor, Franklin, was such a delight. Warm tortilla chips were served with shredded chicken and fried pork with lots of drinks. And also included are amazing views of the ocean. Highly recommended if you want to have a good time.
