Overview

This two hour catamaran sail with Delphi Watersports Aruba packs a swim stop, a water slide, a rope swing and an open bar into one evening on the Caribbean Sea off Noord. You board by shuttle boat from the beach in front of the Hyatt Regency towel hut, settle in with music and drinks, and let the crew handle the rest. It is run in English and the listing calls it family friendly.

The shape of the trip is simple. First you glide along the coast with Caribbean tunes and the open bar flowing. Then the boat anchors in a shallow bay where you can swim, launch off the slide, or take turns on the rope swing. Once the sails go back up, the boat turns toward the horizon for the sunset itself, with snacks and more drinks served while you dance or just watch the light change. After the sun goes down you return to the same beach where you started.

Reviewers repeatedly praise the crew, the spacious deck and the sunset, and several highlight the slide and rope swing as the high point. If you want a full meal, eat beforehand; the food on board is limited to snacks.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical details will shape how much you enjoy this cruise, from what you wear to how you time your arrival.

Wear a swimsuit. One reviewer warned that they were not prepared to get wet and regretted it. The swim stop, slide and rope swing are central to the trip, so show up in swimwear rather than dinner clothes.
Bring ID. The listing asks you to bring a passport or ID card, and a copy is accepted.
Eat beforehand. Snacks are included but one reviewer said the food amounted to a single mini wrap per person and advised going with a full stomach. Treat the food as a light bite, not dinner.
Lively group feel. Several reviewers describe good music and flowing drinks, and the listing invites you to dance during the sunset leg. Groups of friends and families both reported having a good time, and one traveller brought a party of six.
Drinks and bar. The open bar is included, and reviewers often mention good drinks alongside the sunset. The bar keeps serving through the sunset leg of the trip.
Plan your transport. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so arrange your own way to the Hyatt Regency beach area in Noord. Boarding is via shuttle boat, which adds a short hop before you are on the catamaran itself.

Common issues. There is no hotel pickup or drop-off, and tips are not included in the price. The food is light: one reviewer reported only a single mini wrap per person and suggested eating before the cruise. You will get wet if you take part in the swim stop, so travellers in street clothes should sit that part out or dress for the water. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the sail.

Common Questions

Is Hotel Pickup Included?

No. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you make your own way to the meeting point. That is the beach in front of the Hyatt Regency towel hut in Noord, Aruba.

What Is Included In The Price?

The open bar, snacks and Caribbean music are all included. Tips are not included and are left to your discretion. There are no other extras listed.

How Long Is The Cruise?

The trip runs for two hours, departing and returning to the same beach in Noord. Boarding is done by shuttle boat, so allow a little extra time on either end.

Is It Suitable For Kids And Families?

The listing describes it as a family friendly cruise, and reviewers who travelled with family members reported enjoying it. The swim stop, slide and rope swing give children plenty to do. The boat is also stroller accessible.

What Should I Bring?

Bring a passport or ID card, with a copy accepted, and wear a swimsuit since the swim stop is a big part of the experience. One reviewer specifically advised not arriving in clothes you cannot get wet. A towel and something dry for after the swim makes sense too.

Can I Cancel If My Plans Change?

Yes, you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
