Great day! - Captain (Roderick) was fun and the time on the water was perfect. A different view of Aruba! Was enjoyable.

Learn to said with zero experience, Nelson is the best! - Nelson was the perfect instructor! He did a great job explaining everything and teaching me how to sail. After only a few minutes I was doing it mostly by myself! This is the perfect tour if you’ve ever wanted to learn how to sail but have zero experience. Highly recommend!

Great Time - The crew was great. The vast ocean and experience on the boat was second to none. Shout out to Arthuro, Jerrick, and Myhaily. They made our time very valuable.

Sailing Catamaran at Palm beach - Our family of 4 went for sailing at Palm beach with our captain Nelson. We learnt how to sail a catamaran - so fun and enjoyable! Thanks Nelson for coaching and making this a success!

Great people, great fun! - The location of the boat was at the Hilton Hotel. Even tho we didn't reserve through the Hotel, we were treated wonderfully. Great support from the Staff! Sailboat was in perfect condition! If we were to be able to do this again, we would not hesitate!

Aruba sail - All in all it was fine. It’s in the shadow of the Hilton hotel so if you’re not staying at the Hilton, then parking is very difficult. That should be made known on their advertising.

Very Disappointed - NOT What I wanted. I picked this excursion specifically for the “instructor” option. Each of us wanted to learn how to sail a boat! First of all our experience started at least 30 mins late (we arrived early) with no one seeming like being on time mattered at all. Then our “captain” was super new to the company and only spoke a tiny bit of English. Minimal ability to communicate much less be a sailing instructor for us. It was supposed to be a Father’s Day present and grand last hurrah of the trip but it was NOT. Very disappointed.

I felt like Wilson floating away from Tom Hanks…. - I am sorry to say that my solo sailing lesson/trip could have ended badly. Between the wind gusts and the variable waves, we ended up capsizing! The captain struggled to get the Hobie Cat righted and then had to sail away from me for a bit to be able to turn around to come back and get me. Then it was very difficult for him to pull me back on board. I did not panic but was quite shaken as there was no way for us to get help and I can’t imagine if one of us had been knocked unconscious. It was unfortunate because the sailing itself was delightful.
