Excellent - Wonderful experience from beginning to end! The catamaran had an open bar for the whole trip. Rum, vodka,gin, whiskey with fruit juices and sodas to mix. Awesome music! They passed around 4 appetizers-, fruit, cheeses, chicken empanadas and beef log. All delicious! The ladies bathroom did not have running water but that was the only downfall.
The Pelicans Nest restaurant was phenomenal.! They started you off with warm crispy bread and a glass of wine. A Cobb wedge salad started the 4 course meal.They delivered 3 small trays of appetizers for each individual. These included tuna, calamari and cerviche. The entree was a skewer with steak and shrimp delicious mashed potatoes topped with a seafood mix and broccolini. Desert was a delicious flan topped with berries. Everything was grade A quality, just delicious!

Don’t leave the island without being out in the water for a sunset cruise… - This was a wonderful sunset cruise and dinner at the Pelican Pier. We’ve done cruises in Aruba before but this one was better. Great staff, music and a beautiful sunset. This open bar wasn’t watered down pre made drinks it was actually an open bar!! They made your drinks from a full bar.
Dinner at the Pelican was really good even thought it was pre-set. I didn’t like one of the choices and they changed it without hesitation.
My husband and I would highly recommend taking this cruise and don’t forget to add on the dinner - you wont be disappointed.

Well worth the view, drinks and dinner! - A great time! The schooner was super clean, the staff was very friendly and entertaining. The alcohol could have been a bit more top shelve then total bottom shelf. We opted for the dinner afterwards and it was one of the best meals we had on the island.

From the time we boarded the catamaran til the time we returned for dinner, Pepper and the Crew took great care of us!! - This is a great way to see a beautiful sunset in Aruba! Pepper and the crew were amazing!! My mom has some mobility issues and Pepper made sure to assist her and remove any anxiety she was experiencing! She enjoyed the sail along with my sister daughter and myself!

We were very happy with... - We were very happy with the cruise itself but a bit disappointed with the dinner after the cruise. While our waitress did a good job, food coming out of the kitchen was painfully slow. Also, the dinner was touted as steak and shrimp which it theoretically was. Instead of a strip steak it was a kebab with shrimp and green pepper plus hunks of steak on it. It wasn't bad but not what was expected. I'd do the cruise again but would pass on Pelican Restaurant.

Avoid the optional restaurant!!!! Just do the sunset cruise! - Avoid the optional dinner. The staff was not attentive at all. We had to waive the staff down to get water, then a drink, then to start the food. We had to waive and ask for simple salt and pepper. People sat down around us 20-30 minutes later and they received their food. Once again had to get the waiter attention for our food. Then the food came out cold. We pointed that out and offered to warm it up. Just terrible because it was prepaid. Another groups from the sunset cruise experienced the same. Just do the sunset cruise. We ended up eating at Texas of Brazil. That was worth it.

Nothing Special - Boating experience was nice. Drinks we so-so, nothing exceptional.
Dinner after was a “1”, it took 1.5 hours before the main meal was served.
We arrived at the dock about 7:30 pm and was served 09:00 pm.
Not the type of service I expected.
The food offering was nothing exceptional either. I would have preferred a credit towards the menu.
