Overview

This is a 3-hour dinner cruise aboard the Monforte III, a vessel operated by Pelican Adventures N.V. that sails along Aruba's west coast. You board at Pelican Pier on J.E. Irausquin Boulevard in Noord, and from there the evening runs on one rhythm: welcome refreshments, sailing past coastal scenery, a chef-prepared 4-course dinner served on board, and unlimited premium beverages including handcrafted cocktails. Live music plays while you eat.

The boat follows the island's rugged west coast, giving you open-water views as the sun goes down and the sky shifts toward evening. Reviewers repeatedly praise the food, the crew and the sunset itself. One reviewer noted that dinner is served in an enclosed area under a canopy, so stepping out to the open deck is how some guests catch the sunset.

The listing pitches it as a romantic evening, and individual reviewers have used it to mark a birthday and as a final night before flying home. It suits anyone who wants a slow, sit-down evening on the water with dinner, drinks and live music.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you decide whether this cruise fits your evening.

Getting there. There is no hotel pickup or drop-off. You need to arrange your own transport to Pelican Pier on J.E. Irausquin Blvd 237 in Noord, and plan the return trip after the cruise ends.
Adults only. Children are not allowed, since the operator runs this as an adults-only experience. The listing describes it as a romantic evening on the water.
Food and drink. The 4-course dinner, handcrafted cocktails and unlimited premium beverages are all included in the price. Reviewers frequently praise the food, with several calling it delicious and outstanding.
Sunset viewing. The cruise is timed around sundown and the transition to evening stars. One reviewer reported that the dining area is enclosed under a canopy, so the open deck is where guests on that sailing watched the sunset.
Pace and feel. This is a slow, seated evening rather than an activity cruise. Several reviewers praised the crew as attentive and friendly, and one described the cruise as one of the most relaxing parts of the trip.
Music and photos. Live music plays during dinner, and one reviewer singled out the musician while another praised the music generally. A reviewer also mentioned that the crew took photos for everyone on board.

Common issues. The main structural drawback reported by one reviewer is the dinner setup: dining under an enclosed canopy blocked the sunset view, so guests on that sailing had to get up mid-meal to watch it from the open deck. Another felt the boat could be maintained better. Children are not permitted, and there is no hotel transfer, so you need to arrange your own transport both ways. Gratuities are not included in the price, and the operator requires cancellation at least 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
