This was such a great way to end our last night in Aruba! I went with my girlfriends to celebrate 2 of our birthdays. From the music and dancing, to the unlimited drinks, the food was hefty and delicious (bbq chicken, bbq ribs, coleslaw, and potato salad), and great vibes! The crew was unbelievably fun! They make sure you’re having the best time!! The rope swing was thrilling ! I am afraid of heights but once you go the first time, you’ll want to go again and again! The water even at night felt wonderful to be in. And let’s not forget the main event, catching the beautiful sunset on the boat with a wonderful breeze, drinks on hand, while the DJ played perfect tunes ! Thank you guys for an unforgettable experience !!

The boat hands were so attentive and got us in a party mood.It was the night before the wedding we were attending. We were able to mingle in a fun adventure including a rope swing to get in the water. My husband and son went several times. The punch and food was delicious. The sunset was beautiful and any ability was accommodated but wheelchair would not work. I had a great time!

You have to do this if you’re coming to Aruba. Jorge and his crew did an amazing job. The captain was very personable and was very nice. He is from Venezuela. I came with my finance. The rope swing and the turtle spotting was the icing on the cake. They gave you really good snorkels and very good BBQ. MUST MUST MUST do this.

Jolly Pirate Sunset Grub and Grog Dinner Sail is an excursion that we will not soon forget! It is so much more than just a sunset cruise. It was a super fun evening with people we didn't even know. By the end of the evening, we were all friends. The crew were all fantastic and made sure everyone had a good time. I would highly recommend adding this to your itinerary!

Highly recommended. Trip was great, with smooth sailing and great views. Crew was excellent: very courteous, accommodating, helpful- and most of all funny! BBQ was very good. Seemed like all the guests were enjoying the experience.

Just book it!!! The crew, food, drinks and music are all amazing and reasonably priced. My husband and I had an amazing time dancing and swinging from the rope. We did the sunset cruise and what a great way to watch it and also see Aruba all lit up at night. I would go back and do this again unlike somethings where you say been there done that I'm good, this is something you'll want to do everytime you're in Aruba. My own opinion I think it is more personable then the huge catamarans.

We had a super fun & cozy evening with the Jolly Pirates boat tour! We were a large group of 16 adults, in addition to the other guests on the boat. The enthusiastic crew managed well to get the atmosphere cozy, and everyone was neatly provided with drinks and food. Care was taken not to leave you empty-handed and meanwhile the whole group dances along to the music. You will receive a welcome drink immediately upon boarding the boat and you can refill the rest of the evening unlimited. We sailed a bit, after which we lay still and could swim (and jump off the boat with a pendulum rope), and meanwhile we watched the sunset. Then you get dinner, we got salad, spare ribs and chicken (very tasty), after which we sailed back to the pier. Definitely recommended and worth repeating!
