Red Sail Sports Rumba
Sunset sail on Rumba

One of the more popular activities in Aruba must be doing a sunset sail along Palm Beach and Eagle Beach area on a catamaran. Yesterday I took a trip on Red Sail Sports’ Rumba catamaran, which left from a pier, located between Occidental Grand and Hyatt Regency.

After signing the typical release waiver and a short wait at the pier, we started boarding around 5:30 pm. Soon after the last person boarded, the crew started with the brief introduction and instructions about the sail. Quickly afterwards the captain started the engine and we left the pier. After a few minutes the engines were turned off and the captain switched over to the sail.

On-board there was some music – the sail started with Bob Marley – and lots of drinks. There was an open bar where people mostly drank liquor. However, it’s perfectly fine to just drink non-alcoholic as well. Mid-sail the crew put out snacks. All was included with the trip. Around 7:30 pm the catamaran came back to pier. I would highly recommend this trip.
