Critical Ticket Rules & Perks

Every ticket gets you the same open bar, no upgrades needed, no cash grab at the top tier. Local rum, beer, and their Aruba Ariba cocktails, all unlimited. If you’re on one of the daytime sails, masks, snorkels, and fins are already covered, so don’t bother packing your own gear.
One thing to know: they don’t pick you up from your hotel. You’ll need to get yourself to the Jolly Pirates Souvenir Guest Shack at Moomba Beach, right between the Holiday Inn and the Marriott Surf Club on Palm Beach. Show up 30 to 45 minutes early to grab your wristbands, since check-in takes a few minutes and the boat doesn’t wait around.
As for cancellations, book directly and you’re in good shape, full refund or a new date if the weather cancels the trip. Just know that if you booked through a third-party site, their policy might not match this one, so worth checking before you assume you’re covered.

Jolly Pirates Aruba snorkeling

Sailing with Jolly Pirates Aruba offers a fantastic balance of coastal sightseeing and underwater exploration. Taking a snorkel cruise aboard their 85-foot teak schooners gives you direct access to the island’s three most iconic marine habitats, complete with an upbeat crew, a wide open bar, and time to test your skills on the ship’s famous rope swing.

The 3 Iconic Snorkel Stops Depending on whether you book the 4 hour morning cruise (3 stops) or the 3-hour afternoon cruise (2 stops), your itinerary will feature these specific underwater landmarks:

The WWII S.S. Antilla Shipwreck: The undisputed highlight of the excursion. This massive, 400-foot German freighter was scuttled by its own captain in 1940 and now rests in about 60 feet of water. Because the top of the coral-encrusted structure rises to within feet of the surface, it offers exceptional visibility for snorkelers to see passing sea turtles, moray eels, and massive schools of tropical fish weaving through the open portholes.

Boca Catalina: A calm, shallow bay with a gentle, sandy bottom (depths ranging from 6 to 15 feet). This is a peaceful, family-friendly paradise ideal for beginners and relaxed floating. The protected cove is teeming with colorful Sergeant Major damselfish, yellow-striped grunts, angelfish, and curious sea turtles.

Malmok Reef is that shallow stretch along the coast where the water sits so clear you can spot fish before you even put your mask on. The limestone rock formations underneath give it a different feel than the sandy reefs elsewhere on the island. Slip in and you’ll find brain corals, some soft sponges swaying with the current, the occasional squid drifting past, trunkfish poking around the rocks, and if you’re lucky, one of the blue parrotfish Aruba’s known for.

Jolly Pirates Aruba Johnny

Johnny’s kind of a legend on the Jolly Pirates boat, always cracking jokes and getting everyone hyped before he does something ridiculous. This time it’s the rope swing, and honestly the water out here in Aruba is stupid blue, the kind you don’t quite believe until you see it. He grabs the rope, gets a running start, and just lets go. Whole boat’s cheering. Just a good, dumb, fun moment out on the water, and Johnny’s right in the middle of it like always.
