Overview

The Shamwari, a red and white catamaran run by Spronk Catamarans, leaves from the dock behind Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar in Oranjestad at 14:30 and comes back to the same spot roughly four and a half hours later. The trip includes two stops and dinner, with lobster and champagne in the name and drinks flowing throughout. Dinner, alcoholic beverages, sodas, bottled water and snacks are all part of the fare, and snorkel gear is supplied for anyone who wants it.

The first stop is Mangel Halto, where the boat spends an hour. Next comes the Kappel Shipwreck, a 45-minute stop as well. Reviewers of this exact trip mention seeing turtles and a ship, so the water time is a real part of the outing, not just a sail past the coastline.

The listing caps the tour at a maximum of 16 travellers. One reviewer booked it as a birthday celebration and said the owner went beyond to make the tour happen. It is not a fit for pregnant travellers or anyone with serious heart or medical conditions, per the listing, and the boat is not wheelchair accessible, though pushchairs can board.

What To Expect From The Tour

Here is what to sort out before booking, based on the listing and on what travellers who took this trip have said.

Getting there. The meeting point is the dock behind Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar on L.G. Smith Blvd in Oranjestad. Pickup is not included in the fare; optional roundtrip private transportation from your stay can be added at 10 USD per person, paid separately. The spot is near public transportation.
Food and drink. Dinner, alcoholic beverages, soda, bottled water and snacks are all included, so there is no need to buy anything on board. Reviewers have called the food great and praised the drinks made on board.
Swimming and pace. Bring a swimsuit and something dry for after, since snorkel equipment is provided. One reviewer described seeing turtles and the ship on this trip.
Group size. The tour is capped at 16 travellers, per the listing. Reviewers mention the captain and crew in positive terms, and neither review raises crowding as a problem.
Weather dependency. The experience requires good weather, and if it is cancelled for poor conditions you get a different date or a full refund. Build some flexibility into your plans around the sailing day.
Confirm your booking. Confirmation arrives at the time of booking. The listed start time is 14:30, so arrive at the dock early enough to find the red and white catamaran at the end of the pier.

Common issues. The boat is not wheelchair accessible, and the listing advises against the trip for pregnant travellers or anyone with serious heart or medical conditions. Roundtrip private transportation is not part of the fare; it costs an extra 10 USD per person if you want it. Cancellations inside 24 hours of the 14:30 start are not refunded, and poor weather can end in a reschedule.
