Overview

The Dolphin catamaran leaves from the beach in front of the Hyatt Regency towel hut in Noord, where Delphi Watersports runs its check-in. Arrive half an hour early, because boarding happens via a shuttle boat from the sand and your feet will get wet. Once underway, the sail runs for two hours with an open bar, snacks and Caribbean music from the speakers.

There is normally a stop where you can swim, and reviews mention a rope swing and a slide off the side of the boat. Guests jump in, swing out, or just float while the crew keeps the drinks coming. One reviewer described the snacks as simple rather than fancy. The return leg lands you back at the same stretch of beach, again through shallow water.

It suits travellers who want a lively, social outing rather than a quiet cruise. Reviews describe drinking, music and a friendly crowd, so it works well for groups, couples and older travellers who are happy around splashing and an open bar. A group of travellers over sixty reported a great time.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points come up again and again in the listing and in traveller reviews.

Wear a swimsuit. You board from the beach and the listing warns your feet can get wet, both getting on and off.
Drinks and snacks. Alcoholic beverages and snacks are included, and reviewers describe the drinks as flowing throughout. One reviewer mentioned wraps and a cheese board, so treat the food as a snack rather than dinner.
Lively group feel. The catamaran takes up to 42 passengers, and reviewers describe music, drinks and a social crowd. One reviewer found a sunset departure rowdy because of a loud drinking group, so the mood depends partly on who is aboard.
Swim and play. Multiple reviews mention a swim stop with a rope swing and a slide. Bring something dry for the ride back if you plan to get in the water.
ID at check-in. The credit card holder must be present at check-in with photo identification. Check-in takes place at the beach thirty minutes before departure.
Weather dependence. The sail requires good weather. If the operator cancels for poor conditions, guests are offered a different date or a full refund.

Common issues. The wet boarding comes up repeatedly: you wade out to a shuttle boat, and one reviewer reported a family member in her seventies struggling to keep her footing while getting off. The listing notes the boat is not wheelchair accessible, and check-in discipline is strict, with one reviewer describing being left behind after a miscommunication. Sunset departures can also attract a drinking crowd, which one traveller found loud. The listing does not state whether hotel pickup is offered, so check the booking page before assuming any transport besides the beach meeting point.

Common Questions

What Is Included In The Price?

Alcoholic beverages, snacks and Caribbean music are included for the two-hour sail. Transport to the meeting point is not mentioned in the listing, so check the live booking page for anything else.

Where Does The Tour Depart From?

Check-in is at Delphi Watersports, on the beach in front of the Hyatt Regency towel hut in Noord, thirty minutes before departure. Ask for Olga or John at the big sign. The listing does not state that hotel pickup is offered, so confirm on the booking page.

Will My Feet Get Wet Boarding?

Yes. Boarding is done with a shuttle boat from the beach, and the listing warns your feet can get wet. Wear a swimsuit or shorts and bring a towel so the wade on and off is no trouble.

Is The Tour Suitable For Kids Or Older Travellers?

The listing says pushchairs are accommodated and most travellers can participate. A group of travellers over sixty also reported a great time. The main limit is the wet shuttle boarding, which one reviewer said was difficult for an older family member, and the boat is not wheelchair accessible.

How Many People Are On The Boat?

The listing gives both figures: up to 42 passengers on the catamaran and a maximum of 45 travellers on the activity. Groups larger than 15 need to make multiple bookings.

What Is The Cancellation Policy?

Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window there is no refund and changes are not accepted, with cut-off times based on local Aruba time. If the operator cancels for poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
