How long are sunset cruises in Aruba?
Most Aruba sunset cruises run 2–3 hours. The Sunset Sail Experience typically departs 1–2 hours before sunset so you're on the water for the golden hour, then returns in twilight. Dinner cruises are longer (3–4+ hours). Check your confirmation for exact timing.

What Pelican Aruba sunset cruise should I book?
Pelican offers several: the Sunset Sail Experience (drinks only, simple sail), the Seaside Dinner (sail + dinner onshore), and the Havanas sunset cruise (drinks on the Havanas vessel). Choose Seaside Dinner if you want a meal; choose Sunset Sail or Havanas if you want sailing and drinks only.
Do sunset cruises in Aruba run if it rains?
Operators may cancel or reschedule if weather is unsafe. Aruba rarely gets heavy rain, so most sunset cruises run as planned. Pelican and other operators will contact you if conditions change. Check the cancellation policy when booking—many offer free cancellation or reschedule options.
