5.00I had an unforgettable experience with Jolly Pirates Aruba this week, and I can’t say enough about how incredible the crew was. At the very beginning of the trip, I had an accident where the tip bell was rung after I tipped the bartender, Jorge, and it unfortunately hit me in the head, leaving me with a pretty large bump and a cut. It was completely accidental, and what truly stood out was how the crew handled everything from that moment on. Jorge, Ron, and Julio went above and beyond to take care of me. They quickly brought me below deck, cleaned and treated my wound, and made sure I was comfortable. Jorge was incredibly kind and even gave me his brand new sun hat so I could cover my head for the rest of the trip. You could tell how much they genuinely cared. Despite the rocky start, the crew made sure I still had an amazing time. They checked on me constantly, kept my spirits up, and made me feel safe and taken care of the entire day. Their professionalism, kindness, and positive energy completely turned the situation around. Accidents happen, but it’s how people respond that matters—and this team was exceptional. I’m so grateful for how they handled everything and would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Aruba. Thank you, Jorge, Ron, and Julio, for going above and beyond!

Jolly Pirate Boat Cruise. Five Stars All the Way

5.00Our Jolly Pirate Boat Cruise was definitely one of the highlights of our Aruba trip. From start to finish, everything was smooth, fun, and incredibly well run. We had Captain Ron, Johnny on the mic, and Milton as our bartender, and the entire crew was fantastic. Johnny in particular was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and made the whole experience even more memorable. He kept everyone laughing, shared great information about the island and stops, and made sure everyone was having a great time. We traveled with four kids ranging from 6 to 13, and the crew was incredibly caring and attentive, especially toward the kids. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe at all times. We truly felt like we were in great hands the entire trip. The ride itself was smooth and relaxing, while still packed with adventure. The snorkeling stops were beautiful, the crew was knowledgeable about each location, and the overall experience was well organized from beginning to end. The food was also very good and a great added bonus during the cruise. And we cannot forget… our boys absolutely loved the extra tips from Johnny to use with the ladies, which had everyone laughing and made the experience even more fun and memorable. If you are visiting Aruba, we highly recommend the Jolly Pirate Boat Cruise. We would absolutely book again without hesitation. Fun, safe, family friendly, and full of adventure. Five stars all the way!

5.00Awesome time. This is such a fun family adventure. We enjoyed snorkeling (saw a sea turtle) and jumping off the boat. Even if you decide not to snorkel or jump, it’s so much fun just watching others. It’s great that you can sit in the sun or the shade while on the boat. Tour guides were awesome.
We had so much fun!!...

5.00It was an amazing experience, it was way more fun than we thought it was going to be. We started by having very fun and kind staff and then we stopped at a place where we snorkeled to see this very cool sunken ship. Next, we stopped at another snorkeling place where we saw pretty coral and fish. For our final stop, we went to this area next to shore where we saw sea turtles and did the rope swing. For our final activity, we had an amazing lunch with a good portion as well. We went back and had an amazing time. This was all with kids in the morning and it was amazing!!
Fun family snorkelling trip

5.00Great experience and the kids (twins aged 13) both really enjoyed the ship. The rope swing was a big hit with them. We went to three different snorkelling locations and managed to see a turtle. The food and drinks on board were good. We would recommend this trip.
Fun!
