What Guests Say About Aruba Catamaran Tours

“Everything was amazing. Alex our bartender and host was absolutely hilarious. The crew took care of us and made sure everyone had a fun night. Music, drinks, vibes and the views were immaculate.”
Abagail, operator-listing review of De Palm Two-Hour Sunset Sail
“Nice day in the sun. Open bar, good drinks and nice tapas/ appetisers. The crew was super nice! Cool to see the ship wreck!”
Henriette, operator-listing review of Sailing and Snorkeling with Drinks
“It was great. Staff was excellent. We were able to swim and use the rope swing. That was a big hit. Drinks were delicious and we had the most beautiful sunset.”
Linda Ann, operator-listing review of Dolphin Sunset Cruise from Palm Beach
“It was a very nice experience! 3 beautiful spots for snorkeling. As many delicious drinks as you want and great food. Enthusiastic guides and, as the cherry on top, we saw a turtle. Definitely recommended!”

Aruba Catamaran Tours FAQ

What Does A Sunset Sail Include?

It depends on the trip. Basic sunset sails such as the Dolphin Catamaran cruise cover drinks, snacks and sailing time, while the Red Sail Sports Appetizers and Open Bar trip adds food.

What's The Price Of A Catamaran Sail In Aruba?

Shared trips run from $50 per person for the Banana Adventure Tropical Sunset Sail up to $199 for the lobster and champagne sails on Shamwari. Dinner cruises sit between $109 and $199.

Is A Sunset Sail Worth Booking?

If you want drinks, open water and the closing light over the Caribbean without getting wet, a sunset sail fits well, and with ten options listed there is a wide spread of price and style. Snorkel sails suit travelers who want to swim at reefs and shipwrecks.

Is Snorkeling From A Catamaran Good?

Yes, and Aruba is built for it. Nineteen of the trips listed here are snorkel sails, with stops at the Antilla shipwreck and turtle sites, and most include snorkel gear.

Are Catamarans Stable In Waves?

Aruba sits in steady northeast trade winds that blow year round and strengthen from February into July, and catamarans are stable, twin-hulled boats that handle those conditions comfortably. Operators here favor the sheltered leeward west coast, where seas stay calmer.

What Not To Wear On A Sail?

Skip hard-soled shoes, heavy denim and anything you would hate to splash, since boarding involves a wet transom and sails get breezy. Pack a cover-up, a hat that secures, and non-slip sandals or bare feet.
