Overview

This two-hour sunset sail runs on a catamaran operated by Segway Aruba, departing from MooMba Beach Bar and Restaurant on J.E. Irausquin Boulevard in Noord, between the Holiday Inn and the Marriott. Check-in happens at the beach bar, and the boat pushes off at 17:00 for a cruise along the coast. Along the way the route passes by Palm-Eagle Beach and the downtown Aruba waterfront without stopping, so the sailing itself is the main event.

On board, the crew runs an open bar with liquors, mixers, soft drinks, juices and bottled water for guests aged 18 and over, though beer is not included. Fresh fruit is served as the snack, and several reviewers mention fruit skewers specifically. Reviewers often describe the crew as friendly and attentive with refills, and some sailings have had very few passengers, which let people pick their own music and move around the boat freely.

One-way transportation to the catamaran is included, but there is no return transport, so travellers need to arrange their own way back. Gratuities are not included. The boat carries a maximum of 36 travellers, though some sailings have had far fewer passengers.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help set expectations before booking this sail.

Drinks and snacks. The open bar covers liquors, mixers, soft drinks, juices and bottled water for guests 18 and older, with no beer included. Fresh fruit is the snack, and several reviewers describe it as a single fruit skewer.
Getting back. Pickup to the boat is included one way only, with no return transport. One reviewer waited half an hour for a cab after the sail, so allow extra time for the journey back.
Group feel. The boat takes a maximum of 36 travellers, but several reviewers found themselves on near-empty sailings with only a handful of passengers. The vibe is relaxed rather than a party, and some crews engage more than others.
Fitness and mobility. The listing asks for a moderate level of physical fitness and says the tour is not recommended for travellers with back problems or serious heart conditions. It is not wheelchair accessible, though pushchairs are fine and infants must sit on laps.
Weather and refunds. The sail requires good weather, and poor conditions mean a different date or a full refund. Cancel at least 24 hours before the 17:00 start for a full refund, since later cancellations are not refunded.
Check-in confusion. A few reviewers were unsure where exactly to check in before boarding, and one found the check-in contact late.

Common issues. The honest downsides are uneven experiences across sailings. Several reviewers praise the crew and drinks, but others report minimal snacks, limited non-alcoholic options, or little engagement from the crew. One reviewer described a late check-in person that left the group unsure they were in the right place. No return transportation is provided, and gratuities are extra.

Common Questions

What Is Included In The Price?

The two-hour catamaran sail, an open bar with liquors, mixers, soft drinks, juices and bottled water for guests 18 and over, fresh fruit snacks, and one-way pickup to the boat. Beer is not included, and neither are gratuities.

Is Hotel Pickup Included?

Yes, but only one way. Transportation to the catamaran is included and there is no return transport, so travellers arrange their own way back after the sail. Pickup details and the meeting point are on the live listing.

Where Does The Cruise Start And What Time?

Check-in is at MooMba Beach Bar & Restaurant, J.E. Irausquin Blvd 230, Noord, between the Holiday Inn and the Marriott. The sail departs at 17:00 and ends back at the same spot.

Is It Suitable For Children Or People With Limited Mobility?

Infants must sit on laps and pushchairs are allowed, but the boat is not wheelchair accessible. The listing also advises a moderate fitness level and cautions against booking for travellers with back problems or serious heart conditions.

What Is The Cancellation Policy?

Cancel at least 24 hours before the 17:00 start for a full refund. Cancellations or changes inside that window are not refunded or accepted. If poor weather cancels the sail, travellers are offered a different date or a full refund.

What Should I Bring?

Gratuities are not included, so budget for a tip if the crew earns one. No return transportation is provided, so plan how to get back after the sail. Arriving early at the beach bar also makes check-in easier.
