Overview

The Dolphin catamaran leaves from the beach in front of the Hyatt Regency towel hut in Noord, where Delphi Watersports runs its check-in. Arrive half an hour before departure, look for the big Delphi Watersports sign, and ask for Olga or Jhon. Boarding happens via a shuttle boat from the sand, so feet get wet.

Once under way, the two-hour sail carries Caribbean music, alcoholic drinks and snacks, all included in the booking. Reviewers describe chicken or tuna salad wraps and a small cheese board, simple fare rather than a meal. Along the way there is usually a pause for swimming, with a rope swing and a slide off the side of the boat.

The trip suits most travellers who are happy to get their feet wet boarding from the beach and do not mind a lively crowd. The boat carries up to 42 passengers, so it is a group outing rather than a quiet cruise. It ends back at the same stretch of beach, wet-footed again on the way off.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape whether this cruise is a good fit.

Wet boarding. You walk through the water to reach the shuttle boat on the way out and back, and the listing warns that feet can get wet.
Group feel. The catamaran holds up to 42 passengers. The vibe is social, with music, drinks and swimming rather than a quiet sunset sail.
Food and drink. Alcoholic drinks and snacks are included. Reviewers describe chicken or tuna salad wraps and a small cheese board, nothing fancy.
Swim stop. One traveller noted this was the first sunset cruise they had taken that actually stopped for a swim.
Getting there. Hotel pickup is not included. The meeting point is on the beach in front of the Hyatt Regency, near public transportation, so plan your own transport to Noord.
Documents and check-in. The credit card holder must be present at check-in with photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport. Arrive 30 minutes before the start time.

Common issues. One reviewer described a mix-up that left their party behind, and another found the crowd very drunk and the music inappropriate on a particular sailing, so the mood depends partly on who shares the boat. The listing also states the tour is not wheelchair accessible, and it requires good weather, with a different date or a full refund offered if it is cancelled for poor conditions.
