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.

Excellent experience - Sailed alone without captain! The guys were Great! Sailed a 16 footer. Be advised they do not rig with a jib and the main is not full size. However with the Caribbean winds you will still haul ass! I had a great time. With more time on the island I would have gone again. Make sure they show you how to right the boat in case of a capsize.

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.

great staff, faulty equipment - The staff there was very good, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. My only complaint was with the equipment on our 14 foot Hobie cat. It had just a mainsail, and the cam cleat would not hold at all. The management should take more care, especially with such a critical piece of equipment, without which you cannot hold a tack, unless you are both steering and holding that sheet against pretty gusty conditions.(note double wrap in my left hand in pic) I cannot know, but doubt, that I was the first to report this. Otherwise, had a great experience. I also caution that the other activity charters don’t seem to respect right of way. More than once I had to yield to a massive catamaran under motor that would not change course.
