1. Set Sail on Twin Pirate Schooners (With a Famous Rope Swing!)

Ditch the standard catamaran tour — Jolly Pirates sails aboard two twin wooden schooners, styled after real pirate ships. From the moment you step aboard, the fun begins.

Our cruises feature music, an open bar, and our famous rope swing — launch yourself into the warm Caribbean Sea like a true pirate. It’s a highlight for families during school vacations and couples, and there’s lots of adults fun too.

2. Snorkel at Aruba’s Top Sites – All Gear Included

Snorkel tours include snorkeling at up to three of Aruba’s best underwater spots:

  • Antilla Shipwreck – Aruba’s most famous dive site and the largest wreck in the Southern Caribbean
  • Boca Catalina – Calm, shallow water perfect for first timers
  • Malmok Reef – A coral-rich area buzzing with marine life

We provide all snorkel gear, flotation devices, and easy instructions so you can explore safely and comfortably.

3. All-Inclusive Fun – Tropical Drinks & Pirate BBQ Included
