Make your way over to MooMba Beach, where you'll board a large pirate ship fully equipped with everything that you need for the evening ahead. Sit back and relax as you take in the fresh air and scenery while cruising the Aruban waters. Admire the views of the western coast of Aruba and watch as the sky lights up with color as the sun sets around you. Choose to stretch out on the teak decks, wiggle your toes to island rhythms by the cushioned seating area beside the bar while the crew circulates cocktails from the open bar. Sprawl out in the bow sprit netting or take cover under the large awning. Be sure to have your camera ready to capture a shot of the golden Caribbean sun setting in the distance. Have fun with the friendly staff of "pirates" and test out your adventurous side on the crazy rope swing, where you can plunge into the blue Caribbean ocean.

It was fine. I think I’ve been on other boat excursions that were a lot more exciting and fun. The stuff was nice, but I did notice that in other trips they would let people snorkel and they did not provide us with that or let us do that when I was on the boat. The open bar is very limited.

The Jolly Pirates sunset cruise was a LOT of fun! The crew were so friendly and kind. The drinks were good, the sunset beautiful, and everyone on board was jolly! The rope swing was a big hit. Highly recommend!

Great time! Drinks a plenty, folks swinging into the Caribbean Sea, the crew doing acrobatics on the ropes and kite surfers grabbing a drink from the revelers. Great time had by our group of 16 friends.

We had a fun time out on the water, but sadly it wasn’t a great sunset that night-which was a bummer. The rum punch was yummy though and the staff were very kind! The tender ride to the pirate boat was the worst part and didn’t seem super safe.

Excellent experience. Just need to be more clear about time to get there and also giving waivers done ahead of time. Suggest texts and links for both
