Aruba: Private Sunset Catamaran Sail with Open Bar & Appetizers

Drift along Aruba's glittering leeward coast aboard a sleek catamaran as the sun melts into the Caribbean — cocktail in hand, warm trade winds in your hair, and the Oranjestad skyline glowing behind you. The definitive Aruban sunset experience.

What to expect

Step aboard a classic wooden sailing vessel at the palm-fringed dock and settle into the nets at the bow as the crew sets sail along Palm Beach. The two-hour sail is unhurried: swim stop in calm, turtle-rich waters, then back on deck for a spread of fresh Aruban appetizers — empanadas, ceviche, fruit — as a blazing sunset unfolds directly ahead. The crew is festive, attentive, and deeply proud of their island.
