Overview

This is a three-hour sunset dinner cruise from Red Sail Sports, run on a catamaran out of Piet's Pier Bar on J.E. Irausquin Boulevard in Noord, between the Barcelo and the Hyatt. Check-in happens at the pier half an hour before the boat leaves at 17:30, and the sail ends back where it started.

On board, the evening works roughly like this: drinks from the open bar start flowing early, the boat cruises the coast, then anchors so guests can eat from a three-course dinner buffet. Travellers describe music on deck and time to move around the boat before dinner is served. One reviewer noted the boat anchors near shore for the meal and returns in the dark, with night views of the coastline along the way. The bar covers local beer, a cocktail menu, house wine, sparkling wine, sodas and juices, and the buffet earns consistent praise in reviews.

The feel leans romantic rather than raucous, according to a reviewer who called it more of a romantic outing than a party, and the listing notes that mostly adults book it, though children under 18 are welcome with a paying adult. Gratuities are not included, and hotel transport is not part of the package.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points help this evening go smoothly, from check-in timing to what the atmosphere is actually like.

Arrive early. Check-in is at the pier 30 minutes before the 17:30 departure, and every passenger needs to complete a waiver form before boarding. Arriving on time keeps boarding simple.
Relaxed, not rowdy. Music plays, drinks flow, and guests often socialise with other travellers on board.
Dinner quality. The three-course dinner buffet draws consistent praise across reviews, with many calling the food delicious or very good. It is served after the boat anchors near shore.
Drinks included. The open bar covers local beer, cocktails, house wine, sparkling wine, sodas and juices for the whole sail. Several reviewers describe the drinks as plentiful, with the staff attentive throughout.
Mostly adults. The listing notes that while young children are not excluded, mostly adults book this sail, and children under 18 must come with a paying adult. Gratuities are not included in the price.
Weather matters. The sail requires good weather and a minimum number of travellers to run. If it is cancelled for either reason, guests are offered a different date, a different experience or a full refund.

Common issues. The listing caps the boat at 40 travellers, and one reviewer reported being double charged on their card, which is a booking issue rather than something about the boat. The catamaran is not wheelchair accessible, pushchairs are, and the sail needs both decent weather and a minimum headcount to operate.
