We just returned from Aruba and had to post a comment about the wonderful time we had on the Black Pearl snorkel and sunset sailing trip. This was not one of the big, crowded party boats; it was a perfect sailing trip for a very reasonable price. There were about 20 people on board, but the setup of the boat made you feel like it was your own private sailing with a few friends. By the end of the trip, the whole group was friends. The crew was wonderful – very casual and comfortable. They made you feel like family aboard their boat. We had some very tasty drinks, hit some great snorkeling spots, had some more drinks, and had some fantastic homemade sandwiches while watching the beautiful sunset. I will definitely do this trip again on our next visit to Aruba, and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Aruba. You will love it, and you will love the owners/crew!

A MUST: A sunset sail, snorkel with Blue Melody or the Black Pearl (www.aruba-sailing.com). This is a quiet, relaxing tour. Albert (owner) only takes small groups. So it’s very quaint and intimate. You feel like you’re sailing with a friend and not on a tour. The snorkeling was much better than the trip with Red Sail Sports. Judy.
Working with them was seamless and professional. Everything flowed smoothly, and the results exceeded expectations.
Our snorkeling outing was on the Blue Melody. I hadn’t read about this before my trip to Aruba, having only read about other sailing trips. We were approached while on the beach early in the week and decided to go ahead with a smaller group boat for our outing. We scheduled it for Thursday as most of his days were booked. We went to two different sites, and we arrived just as the larger boats were done,e so we had the entire place to ourselves. We saw a lot of neat fish, including an eel, and at the second site they gave us bread to feed to the fish surrounding us. They served us their Blue Melody special
drink, sandwiches made on great bread, and we also had a kind of garlic bread. Oh, the boat sails from 3:30 to 6:30. Our snorkeling outing was on the Blue Melody.

The boat leaves from the dock right by the Marriott. All in all, a very good trip, very nice people, and I would recommend this to anyone.

We went on a nice snorkeling trip aboard the Blue Melody, and the crew took great care of all of us. Nice, relaxing trip, two stops, plenty of time to snorkel and enjoy the sites. Highlights included finding two large starfish for the kids, seeing a green moray eel swimming freely along the bottom, and being surrounded by fish as we fed them bread! Jack & Barbera
We’ve done Jolly Pirate and many more.
However,
We were just there and snorkeled on the Blue Melody. The owners and crew are a husband-and-wife team – Albert and Joann. They only take 12 people and are so wonderful, fun, and just all-around super people: great food (yummy sandwiches & watermelon slices) and drinks. I highly recommend it.
It was great to see the overcrowded Jolly Pirate with everyone standing while we lounged out on the catamaran with our cocktails.
If you go, please tell them that the two brothers, Zachary & Thomas, sent you.
We take the Blue Melody every year, and it is wonderful.
The Blue Melody docks by the Marriott. We usually do a private sail with Albert, as our family is there. Always a pleasant experience. Lisa.
We had a great time on Blue Melody with Albert & Joann. The boat was a perfect size, great price, super snorkeling…Albert got in the water with us to make sure we saw cool fish! Joann was a great hostess with never-ending drinks and awesome sandwiches! This is a very local, safe, fun, well-priced, few-hour trip not to be missed!
The Messinas from Idaho
I can not begin to explain what a wonderful time we had. Albert was walking on the beach and happened to come upon us. He cut us a sale price; we booked and arrived the next afternoon. It was one of the best parts of our Honeymoon: 3 hours of sailing and sightseeing, personal stories, and friendly conversation. The snorkeling, sunset, and friendliness were just so wonderful. We will be back and tour again with Joann and Albert. We had an absolutely wonderful time with beautiful pictures.
Thanks Again
John and Candace.
