The Tranquilo, Aruba Logo

The best day of your stay

catamaran sail and snorkel aruba

Aruba’s best family operated sail and snorkel cruise since 1977

Tranquilo was founded by Capt. Mike Hagedoorn whose passion for sailing was legendary. It was only natural to make of his hobby, his day job. And so he started taking guests out sailing on the Tranquilo along the coast of Aruba. He did so for 20 years before Capt. Anthony, his son, took the helm and kept the tradition alive till present day. Tranquilo means Tranquility and that is just what we invite you to experience with us. Choose from our Famous Lunch Cruise to the south side with mom’s delicious Dutch pea soup and drift snorkeling at our secluded reef island “Mike’s Reef “. Or choose one of many Private Sailing trips or Dinner Sails we have to offer.

Capt. Anthony grew up on Spanish Lagoon. Sailing, snorkeling, windsurfing and diving were daily routines and no one knows the area better than Anthony. The sailing trip to Spanish Lagoon is off the beaten path and drift snorkeling along the magnificent coral formations is a unique experience not to be missed.

HERE’S WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US!

a close up of a logo

Was in Aruba for a week and decided to do the morning snorkel cruise with jolly pirates. It was a highlight of our trip and very much recommend them. The trip went to 3 spots that were all beautiful. They offered full equipment and open bar as well. The food that was served was delicious. Crew was funny and very nice. We will be back with jolly pirates next time we come to Aruba.

a close up of a logo

We sailed with jolly pirates yesterday as a family of 10 with 3 little ones. I cannot say enough how great the crew was! The snorkeling sites were great and the lunch was delicious! I would recommend this excursion to anyone! We will do this everytime we visit Aruba!!! 10 out of 10!!!!

a close up of a logo

We had a BLAST on the trip. When we got back to the hotel pool to meet up with everyone that had to work, or was too "busy" or nervous to go with us were so jealous. We had so much fun. We did the rope swing, snorkeled everywhere, and loved every minute of it. On trips like this you think lunch, ok, cold meat sandwich. Heck no! The BBQ lunch was perfect, plenty, and the bar tenders took great care of us too.

We had so much fun doing the morning snorkel. Open bar, food was good, and the snorkeling and jumping off the ship was amazing! In fact, we loved it so much we did the sunset cruise the following day! It was a great time! The staff were friendly, funny and extremely helpful!

Amazing time on board, crew was hilarious and very polite. My friends and I went on twice for the morning and sunset cruise. Snorkeling was gorgeous the shipwreck was beyond crazing to see. Drinks fast and served in style. The crew member took kids on there back to rope swing doing flips and also dancing with everyone. Great music great time would recommend for groups of friends or for the family!

Absolutely wonderful day of fun in the sun!! We will definitely return when we come back to the happy island!! The crew, the food, the snorkeling, the rope swing were awesome but the Pirates Poison was the best!!

We went on this cruise with our wedding group. Fantastic morning cruise. Snorkeling, lunch, swinging from the rope into the water. Well worth the money. Would definately do this again!

What an awesome morning! A must do excursion while in Aruba! Starts out with a great ride to the Antilles wreck. Then two more 25-30 minute stops for more snorkeling. Saw thousands of super cool fish in easy to see areas. Then rope swing and food. Easy day for the whole family. Big ship to cruise smoothly in. Very safe for the whole family. Can’t wait to come back next year!

We have three different timing for our Aruba Catamaran Sail Trips, and every hour is worth the experience. The morning Aruba Catamaran Excursion is a perfect way to kick off your day. As the very first rays of sunshine wash over the seascape, we'll serve you delicious Aruban snacks for breakfast. If you are looking for a delightful sunbath in plenty of sunshine, the Afternoon Aruba Sailing will be more than ideal. The best trip in our repertoire is the Aruba sunset catamaran cruise because nothing is more captivating than watching the sun go down on the tangerine horizon. But that's not it! The tour inclusions are Snorkeling equipment & safety gear, an Open bar with unlimited drinks (including Coke, Water Bottle, Ice-tea, Fruit Punch, Cranberry Juice & Sprite), Appetizers and fresh-cut fruits, and Free pickup & drop-off. We also include an Aruba Snorkeling experience in the Aruba Sunset Sail, where you can swim with the lush marine life at the magical sunset hour. For your morning tour, we'll serve you the Aruban Pastechi, while your noon snack includes lip-smacking wraps. The sunset tour includes special bites, also known as sliders. These are more like mini chicken sandwiches and burgers. And, of course, every hour's trip is incomplete without the colorful freshly cut tropical fruits! Last and not least, we offer free pick up and drop to the majority of the accommodations in Aruba. Our tours operate throughout the week, so feel free to plan your trip on any day. Catamaran Tour Aruba is 3-hour fun to sink into the Island's seaside beauty! So be prepared to get an ultimate cruising experience, even if it's your first or next time!
