Sunset snorkeling cruise - We saw the shipwreck, stay near the boat if water is kinda ruff! Closer in at others areas water is very calm, we saw lots of fish and quite a few turtles very close up 😎 Dinner was very good and a beautiful sunset. Added bonus was a windsurfer who put on a fantastic show. He was spectacular 👍

Sit inside if you need loud music and good drinks! Outside, for a dream ride! - The trip was incredible fun, the captain pedrito (David), manuelito (first mate Alois), and miguelito (Chino…don’t call him Chico!) were awesome to travel with! They were expert guides that provided famiky style service.

First Mate was great! - We did have fun but the only person really working was the First Mate. Besides the Captain and First Mate there were 2 other crew members who seemed to only be interested in the "special guests" they brought with them. We have been on this cruise before and loved it. Freshly prepared drinks were great. The rating would have been higher except for the antics of the additional crew. The ribs, rice and beans, and coleslaw were great!

Not what I was expecting - We have been to Aruba many times and take snorkeling cruises all the time. Depending on the style of boat and amount of people on board the experience is different but definitely always pleasant. This last one however was a complete disappointment. I booked the Sunset Aruba 4-hour cruise expecting a relaxing evening with great views, good vibes, and the drinks that were advertised. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to expectations. The biggest issue was the timing—the cruise started 45 minutes late. Most of that time was spent sitting waiting on the captain to show up. Once he did, now we needed to load up the provisions, ice, food and beer . That delay cut into the experience and made things feel a bit disorganized from the start considering they had a crew of two and one child for 35 passengers. While the sunset itself was still beautiful (hard to mess that up in Aruba), the delay definitely threw off the overall flow. What really disappointed me was the lack of beer onboard. Drinks were supposed to be part of the experience, but there was no beer available after an hour which felt misleading and poorly managed. For something marketed as a leisure cruise, that’s a pretty basic expectation. The food was flavorful but cold. The crew of two were okay. They did their best under the circumstances and were pleasant. If you’re mainly going for the sunset views, you’ll still get that. But for the full cruise experience with drinks and smooth organization, this one fell short.

Unprepared - The tour was 45minutes late leaving. They did not have the boat prepared. The crew showed up at the time of departure. They had to bring fuel and ice after we were supposed to depart. 30 people on the tour and had only 24 beers on board. No sense of running a business.

Book with another company - You really have to lower your expectations for this experience. There were 8 of us on this sail, including 4 kids. It was a hectic morning to get us all out the door and at the marina before 9 for our morning sail. Just to discover that they cancelled our morning cruise and rescheduled it for the afternoon AFTER I had to reach out to the company. They never reached out to inform us prior. Seems like a regular occurrence for morning cruises... The boat was packed after they informed me that there would only be 16 passengers max when I messaged them before booking the sail. I counted 35 on this small boat. Overwhelming.. 10 minutes into the sail, they ran out of beer.. There drinks were full of sugar and they didn't have mixers to make most drinks. Again, this is only a few minutes into the sail when we booked an open bar experience. They clearly did not restock from their last experience. Food was mediocre and cold. However, they ran out of forks and therefore HALF of the passengers had to eat with a knife or there hands. Crew members on board were not very helpful and were on their phones throughout the sail. Overall, just disappointed. I gave them 2 stars as the kids enjoyed getting into the ocean and snorkeling.

Boat cruise- unorganized - I was very disappointed with this boat cruise experience. When we arrived to board, there was no captain present and the boat clearly wasn’t prepared. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes while they got things together, all while standing in the heat with no drinks offered and no music—just awkwardly waiting. To make matters worse, once we finally got going, they only had 24 cans of beer for a group of 30 people. It left us wondering what kind of boat cruise we had actually signed up for.Overall, this felt very unprofessional and poorly organized. I would not recommend this business.

This is a booze cruise. - This is a booze cruise. Make no mistake in your understanding of the description on the website. It is not a peaceful sailboat ride to snorkel and watch the sunset. It is a true booze cruise and is not family friendly. If you want a very loud party atmosphere with a lot of drunk people and tons of liquor this is your thing. If you are bringing a family with young children, please move on to another activity because this is not your thing thing.
