This was the most comfortable relaxing and beautiful sunset cruise we have ever been on. The crew was so helpful boarding this 80 year old couple. Watching the young couples snorkel was so much fun. Drinks and food were delicious and plentiful. Absolutely perfect!!!!

We had the best time on The Black Pearl! Our host Joann and Captain Albert and his crew John and Juan Carlos were great! They made us feel like we were old friends. The grilled cheeses were amazing and Signature Drinks were delicious and our glass was never empty. The 2 snorkeling spots were wonderful. We saw beautiful fish and a few turtles. It was so calm sailing and the sunset was fabulous. We would highly recommend the Black Pearl. Don’t miss this while visiting Aruba. Karen and Lee August 2025

Kinda boring. Drinks were average, not great. Light music. 1 good snorkel spot. 2nd snorkel spot not so good. Great for older folks seeking serenity, I believe. Grilled cheese was good.

Perfect way to snorkel and see the awesome Aruba sunset. Small team with great attention to the 12 passengers... pleasant. Friendly and enjoyable group. Lots of fish and a few turtles.... We highly recommend this trip. Oh.. and the toasted cheese sandwiches were delicious...

My friends and boyfriend just got back from our first visit to Aruba. This company was recommended to us and the timing worked out great for the adult only sunset sail (Monday night). We weren't interested in a party booze cruise and this was perfect. The staff was great! I normally don't like rum punch but theirs was delicious! My friends and my boyfriend and I LOVED the grilled cheese. Simple food made right! The boat was awesome as we were lucky enough to sit in the cushy seats in the front. I didn't snorkel as I wanted to relax and those seats were great. I may have taken a little nap as I was so relaxed. We caught the sunset and it was just a perfect way to end our trip. Thank you!

Great snorkeling spots we saw many fish we even fed some and sea turtle swam by us. We enjoyed our private catamaran everything was great food, drinks, snorkeling and hospitality. My little Yorkie Piper even enjoyed it. The crew was very accommodating and friendly.

Make sure to bring towels..the Black Pearl has very low to the ground seating. Crew was very nice and helpful. Wish it was longer

We look forward to this trip every year and have probably gone 10 times now. Joann is a pleasure to deal with. The crew is great. Snorkeling is wonderful. Saw many beautiful fish. And you get the best grilled cheese sandwiches in the world, all while floating along the beautiful coast of Aruba! What’s not to like? Thanks once again for a fabulous experience.

This is THE BEST snorkeling experience. Small group meant less than 20 people. No loud music, just peaceful sailing and two snorkeling spots. Plenty of time in the water with advice from the crew where to go to see the most ‘action’. Open bar, watermelon and then delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. Sailing back into a beautiful sunset. As a bonus they send a video of the trip.

My husband and I were looking for a relaxing snorkel experience and this was definitely it! Originally we were looking to be on the 10 person sail but ended up going on the 20 person sail. It didn’t feel like there were “that many” people aboard at all. It was quiet and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Everyone gets a dedicated lounger (and cup holder). Some are in the sun, some under the shade. This is not a party boat and we were thrilled about that. It was mellow & quiet and we LOVED it. We snorkeled at Malmok and Catalina Bay (Boca Catalina). The water was very clear and we saw many beautiful, colorful fish and there was even a sea turtle! It was incredible. The staff, Eugenie, Juan Carlos and Captain John were very pleasant and extremely attentive! There were a variety of drinks in addition to the watermelon, cold cheese sandwiches and the famous grilled cheese-which definitely lived up to its reputation. SO delicious!! The gorgeous sunset on the way back was the “icing on cake.” The staff made a little video of the trip and it was shared with us within 24-48 hours. Another thing to note-communication with the owners before we sailed, about questions we had, was stellar! Thank you Joann! We will definitely be back!
