The cost may differ from boat to boat and may depend on the additional services and extras provided by the boat owner. Fuel will typically require an extra payment and will also depend on the type of boat and length of your journey.

All-aboard! Should I rent with or without a skipper?

No matter what level of sailing experience you have, Nautal has a variety of boat rental options available for your Aruba boat charter.

If you choose to rent a boat with a skipper, you'll enjoy a number of benefits. One of the biggest advantages is the skipper's knowledge and expertise. They can help you navigate the waters of the Caribbean Sea with ease, taking care of all technicalities such as docking and anchoring. This allows you to truly relax and enjoy your vacation to the fullest!

In addition to their technical expertise, skippers can also be a valuable resource when it comes to planning your itinerary. They can offer suggestions based on their local knowledge and help you ensure that you see all the spots on your list. We highly recommend adding a skipper to your charter experience!

If you do wish to book a bareboat charter, proof of previous experience and sailing licence may be required by the boat owner.

Although small in size, Aruba is filled to the brim with activities. This pearl is a real magnet for visitors looking for relaxation or for a true adventure! Take a look at some of our must-dos:

Where to sail with an Aruba boat rental?

When you charter a yacht in Aruba, you get the opportunity to visit two of the remaining ABC islands; Bonaire and Curacao. Plan a day on the water to visit these two treasures:

  • Bonaire: - Located just a short sail away from Aruba, Bonaire is a small island that is a haven for divers and snorkelers. Go Flamingo spotting and marvel at the rugged landscape.
  • Curacao: Another island that is just a short sail from Aruba, Curacao is a colorful and culturally rich destination. Visit one of its 35 enchanting beaches, each one better than the next.

When is the best time to set sail in Aruba?

The great thing about this Caribbean gem is that it is a year round destination! The best time to sail your private boat will depend on the type of getaway that you seek.

The peak season in Aruba runs from December to April, when the weather is dry and sunny with low humidity and comfortable temperatures. The high season is also a great time for sailing, with steady easterly trade winds averaging 15-20 knots, making for comfortable and consistent sailing conditions for your Aruba boat rental.

The low season runs from May to November, when the weather is warmer and more humid, with occasional rain showers and the possibility of tropical storms or hurricanes. The easterly trade winds are still present during the low season, but they tend to be lighter and less consistent, averaging around 10-15 knots.

Regardless of the season, you can generally expect calm waters in Aruba, with gentle swells and currents that make for comfortable sailing conditions.
