Aruba Private Sailing Charter?

[sherryslr]

I would like to charter a trip on a private sailboat with a captain when I am in Aruba in March. I've found the big catamarans that do sunset and snorkeling tours, but that isn't what I'm looking for. 

I'd like a private sailboat that goes out sailing with no more than 6-8 passengers for 2-4 hours. 

I haven't been able to find anything at this point. 

Any suggestions? 

Thank you!

Looking for the same situation for our visit 3/28. Would like to avoid the 60+ passenger trips .

We reserved a private catamaran from Aruba Watersports for March 2023.   Three hours for $1800 including drinks and snacks.   I will report back when we get back.

We booked Capt. Alan mentioned above at https://www.dushilifesailing.com/ for our February 18 2023 HOS cruise.  I will update after our trip.

Twin Dad, I and 3 other friends have also booked this on the same day.  We are also sailing on the HOS on 2/18/23.  Have you figured out how to get to the boat?

Just got back from Aruba on the Harmony of the Seas.  We booked the sailing tour with Dushi Life Sailing from the above link.  This was my first experience with sailing on a sailboat.  It was an amazing experience!  Alan was great and made it a relaxing and wonderful day.  There were only 4 of us on our tour, the other 4 that had booked had to cancel.

Glad it was awesome.  We were the other 4 that had to cancel. One of our twins was the "Alpha, Alpha, Alpha" called the night before.  She passed out and witnesses thought she had a seizure.  She has had issues with dehydration at home (months of Neuro and Cardiac specialist visits to determine this) and had been  fine for months.  Excitement of the cruise and warm weather she wasn't drinking enough.

 

$2,000 from ships medical later, they agreed - they at first wanted her to be checked out in Aruba.  We explained results would show what we already knew.  We felt it best to not take a chance on a sailboat in the heat.  Stinks because that's the only excursion we wanted to do!  

 

Alan was great in the process and we will definitely return to Aruba to enjoy this excursion.
