How Much Does A Sunset Cruise In Aruba Cost?
The 28 sunset trips listed here publish from-prices between $50 and $2,150. The Banana Adventure catamaran sail is the cheapest at $50 for two hours, while most open-bar sails from the big operators sit between $59 and $114 per person.
How Are Private Charters Priced?
Four of the private options charge one price for the entire boat rather than per person. Nos Isla lists $550 for a fully private two-hour cruise, Strea Charters from $1,399 for three hours, and Delphi Watersports from $1,800.
What Does Free Cancellation Actually Cover?
Most listings here carry free cancellation, including the major catamaran and dinner cruises. In practice that usually means cancelling a set number of hours before departure for a full refund, and the exact window varies by tour, so check the booking page.
Can Cruise Ship Passengers Fit These In?
Many do, since most trips run about two hours and leave from piers and marinas near the hotel strip in Noord and Oranjestad. All-aboard times vary by ship and by sailing, though, so confirm departure times on the live booking page before you commit.
What Kinds Of Boats Run Sunset Trips?
Catamarans dominate the roster: ten of the 28 tours are catamaran sunset sails from operators such as Delphi Watersports, Red Sail Sports, Pelican Aruba and De Palm Tours. Three party-style trips round out the mix, including two on a pirate ship and a Havana-themed cruise.
Is The Open Bar Really Included?
Yes, several of these trips include one. An open bar appears on the Red Sail Sports appetizer sail, the De Palm trip, both Octopus happy hour cruises, and the Jolly Pirate sail, according to each listing.
