Traveler Reviews

Emily, Lisa and the entire team at Aruba Watersports Center are fantastic. If you are looking for a water sports center that will take great care of you look no further! You have found them. We have been sailing (renting hobie cats) from the team for the past 5 years. We always have a great experience with them. Everyone is friendly and helpful and the prices are always reasonable. We just returned from a visit to Aruba and once again the team took amazing care of us. Be sure to go by and check them out!

If you know how to sail a catamaran you’ll have a great time. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Listen to them. Conditions on the windward side of Aruba can change quickly. First timers on the island should consider sailing in the morning. You won’t be disappointed. The equipment was in tip top shape and once they knew I was sufficiently skilled I wasn’t required to sign many pages of legal documents. I look forward to returning.

On May 17 we first rented the 14ft hoby cat which was fun. We are good sailors and this boat didn't perform very well with the wind so we rented online the 16ft for the afternoon. However the 16ft had the same small sail and staff didn't want to change it to a bigger sail due to the weather, too much wind. The owner agreed to refund us the USD 55. They have sent emails to viator to cancel the booking and refund us the money. Unfortunately we never received the USD 55 back. This is bad from Viator but also bad from the company to promise us something which they cannot deliver.

We rented a catamaran in very high winds and barely made it off the shore before capsizing. The staff was outstanding and instantly came to our rescue! We hired Edwin to captain the rest of our sail. He turned what could have been our worst day into the best time of our vacation! Professional and really made it fun...I'd highly recommend!
