Jolly Roger, the pirate galleon

Andrea Longo was just 10 years old when he built his first wooden model and dreamed that he would one day build a life size model of a galleon , with miniature cannons and hemp sails . His greatest desire was to recreate a true world of pirates , just like the one that had so fascinated him, with the aim of providing the same emotions to young people as he experienced in the role of Captain Hook .

This idea, born of the typical creativity of a child, never abandoned him, and in 1998, amidst countless difficulties and discouraging words, his dream came true with the Jolly Roger: his first galleon for entertaining passengers.

Having become a stalwart beach attraction over the years, the Pirate Cruise at Sea is now celebrating its 20th anniversary; numerous tourists and loyal customers join us in the fun, dressing up as pirates to venture into an exciting parallel world.

Jolly Pirates: Aruba’s Best Snorkel Experiences

On our last cruise, we purchased tickets for Aruba’s best snorkeling experience, the Jolly Pirates ship. We received no discount or special accommodations, so obviously all opinions are my own. Some links in this post are affiliate links that earn me a commission if you purchase through them.

I love Aruba. The first time I visited, I stayed for 10 days with friends at an all inclusive resort called the Divi Resort . We loved it, but aside from SCUBA diving almost every day, we never left the resort.

I’ve been to Aruba a few times since then on cruises. A year ago, we did a snorkeling excursion (that we paid for) via Carnival and enjoyed it.

However, we saw another snorkel ship that moored near us that had a rope swing. And looked like a pirate ship. My kids were hooked.

Looking for more cruise excursion ideas? Check out more reviews and recommendations at the end of this article.

Fortunately, this year, our adventures put us back in Aruba, and I looked up that excursion. The Jolly Pirates sailing isn’t a part of our cruise ship excursions, but we spend plenty of time on the island and had our choice of the afternoon sail and snorkel or the sunset cruise that had no snorkeling but does include the rope swing.

My kids begged to do the Jolly Pirates afternoon sail and snorkel, so after a few back and forth emails to confirm we’d arrive in time to board the ship, I booked online .

Heading to Aruba on a cruise ship? Most likely you’re visiting some of the ABC islands and have a decent amount of time on the island. You absolutely  can do Aruba’s best snorkel excursion.

Our ship docked at 1pm, and we had plenty of time to disembark and take a taxi to MooMba Beach to check in for the 2pm snorkel cruise. We weren’t the last to arrive, and we even had time to relax on the beach before boarding the pirate ship.

Jolly Pirates Sailing Options

The Jolly Pirates in Aruba has three daily sailings, each lasting a different length of time and with a different cost. Check the costs before you book to verify.

Jolly Pirates Morning Sail

The morning sail lasts the longest. It runs from 9am to 1pm, though like all sailings, you need to check in 30-45 minutes before sailing to get your tickets.

This cruise option has three snorkel stops, including the shipwreck SS Antilla, a protected cove, and shoreline snorkeling. And yes, of course you have the chance to enjoy the rope swing.

The morning snorkel also includes lunch, the only one of the three that incorporates a meal. You receive ribs, chicken, Caribbean rice, potato salad, fruit, and bread. As with all the cruises, you can also enjoy an open bar throughout the majority of the trip – unlike most snorkel excursions that only open the bar after your last snorkel stop ends.

Kids 4 and under attend for no charge, but they still need tickets. Kids 5-10 are half price – $32.15, while adults 10 and over cost $64.30 for the 9am trip.

Jolly Pirates Afternoon Sail

The afternoon snorkel trip  lasts three hours from 2pm to 5pm. The afternoon includes two of the three snorkel stops from the morning, as well as the rope swing at the last stop. The protected cove is the stop you skip for the 2pm sail.

You don’t receive food in the afternoon, but the bar is open. Read more on the details of our experience on this Aruba snorkeling excursion below.

Adults cost $50, and kids 5-10 are again half price at $25. And yep, kids 4 and under go free.

Jolly Pirates Sunset Sail

The sunset cruise lasts the shortest, but it’s also the least expensive. If you aren’t into snorkeling, go for this option. You experience the fantastic sunset views from the same pirate ship, and you won’t want to miss the photo opps.

This cruise departs at 5:30pm and lasts two hours, as there is no snorkeling but a cruise around the island (not a full circle!) and a stop to enjoy the rope swing.

As always, the cruise includes an open bar. Adults cost $34.50, with kids 5-10 half price at $17.25, and under 4 free.

Details of the Afternoon Jolly Pirates Snorkel

Our boat had three crew, giving us plenty of comfort to man the bar, watch the snorkelers, and more. Daniel, Milton, and Julio all had great enthusiasm for what they do and kept us entertained and happy throughout the sailing.

Make sure you check in early. Even including the time to line up on the pier and taking a little water taxi to the moored ship, we were on board before 2pm. How often do you have an excursion start on time, let alone early?

The afternoon tour has two snorkel stops, the shipwreck Antilles in 60 feet of water and the snorkel closer to shore. This is one less than the morning cruise.

Once aboard, they opened the bar, and we had a 20 or so minute ride to first site. You pick up mask and fins as you board, so you don’t have to transport them to and from the boat.

They had both kid and adult size masks, plus a variety of sized fins. Make sure to try them on once you get them so you know they fit, then slide them under your seating area until it’s time to snorkel.

The crew did provide life vest to all at first snorkel stop. Unlike many snorkeling excursions, it’s optional to wear. If you choose to wear it just in case but still want to explore underwater, the vest is the blow up kind. Simply uninflate and dive down to see things up close.

Put on fins just before enter water. You don’t want to walk across the deck of the ship wearing them.

Pro tip: Fold the back of the fin that goes over your heel back until it rolls under the fin. Slide your foot into the fin like a flip flop, then flip the heel portion back up. It’s much easier than trying to wriggle your foot in otherwise!

The first stop includes a 25 minute snorkel. The crew sounds three horn blasts to let you know when it’s time to go back. Swim back to the pirate ship, then take off your fins while holding onto the ladder. Hold them in your hand, then climb the ladder and store them with your mask for the next stop.

At the Antilles, we saw lots of fish and coral growing on wreck. The water visibility was not super clear, but it was enough to see lots of fish. In fact, we saw many schools of fish. Some tend to hide under the wreck, so dive down to make sure you see everything.

One word of warning: This is a smaller snorkeling area, so watch getting kicked, especially when coming up from a dive.

We were ready to come in after 25 minutes because not a huge area to explore after awhile. If you finish snorkeling before the 25 minutes are up, you can always return to the ship early. The crew is there and waiting to help you.

While there were multiple boats in the area, groups don’t overlap where they snorkeled, so it wasn’t an issue. Throughout the snorkel time, we had one guide in the water, while the others were on the boat watching.

I was slightly disappointed that the crew gave us no introduction to fish we would see. Instead, they tols us to look down then swim to front of boat and swim. We did see lots of variety from parrot fish to grouper to angelfish and more. I loved seeing the different types of coral, too.

The second site is near shore and just five minutes away. This is a popular spot; our cruise excursion visited the same site last year – where we first spotted this ship! – and many park on shore and wade in to snorkel.

The water here is just 12-14 feet. Swim near rocks by the shoreline to spot the best fish. Additionally, it’s a more open area for snorkeling. Compared to the Antilles, this site has calmer water and no real current, so it’s an easier snorkel.

At this site, we didn’t see any unique fish, but we saw a tiny pink octopus that was really cool. We also saw plenty of trumpet fish and puffer fish among other common fish.

Once the horn blasts to call you back to the ship, you then enjoy the rope swing from the same site. You have time for 4-5 swings for each person with most people doing it. If you have a group that gets tired of it sooner, you may have ever more chance to swing.

It’s tempting to jump, but listen to the guide. You just step off to the left and hold on until you reach the apex of the arc. At that point, let go and swim to ladder to go again.

 You can do backflip if you want to try, but be warned that you may get water in nose. Overall, watch out to make sure you don’t do a belly flop, ouch! A cannonball may be best bet for something…splashy.

The rope swing is fun to watch even if you don’t go, but do it! The rope swing is the main reason we booked this one after watching last year. We’re so glad we did.

The Jolly Pirates ship heads back to MooMba Beach around 4:20pm. It’s a 20 minute ride back, then you hang out waiting for water taxi for a bit. The music is going nonstop, and of course dancing is encouraged.

There are no snacks on the afternoon sail, but there’s an open bar throughout.

What to Know About the Jolly Pirates Cruises

How to get to moomba beach from the cruise terminal.

It’s a $14US cab ride per car – not per person – to MooMba Beach. The taxi stand will have a wait especially right after disembarkation, so build in time for this.

The taxi stand has a starter to ensure you get the right size cab. Many cabs are minivans.

It’s less than 15 minute ride, so if you leave an hour before your scheduled Jolly Pirates cruise time, you’re right on target.

Book Aruba’s best snorkel experience in advance

While the Jolly Pirates excursion has two boats, so there’s plenty of room, this is a popular activity. Both ships when we visited were full!

When you book, make sure you get tickets for everyone in your party, even if they’re under four years of age and free. There is a limit to how many people can go on each ship!

• Book the morning snorkel cruise here
• Book the afternoon snorkel cruise here
• Book the sunset cruise here

Check in tips

Check in 30-45 minutes before your cruise is scheduled to depart. That’s 8:15-8:30 for the morning cruise, 1:15-1:30 for the afternoon cruise, and 4:45-5 for the sunset cruise. Once you check in, you receive plastic tickets for each person in your group that you turn in as you board the water taxi.

After check in, you can hang out on the beach in the sand and shallow water or you can wait on beach under umbrellas. The crew will give you a heads up when it’s time to go.

At that point, you walk to the pier as group and board the water taxi to the ship to depart.

Every group needs a fill out a waiver. The main office won’t provide your tickets until you fill it out. They have a paper waiver onsite.

Aboard the Aruba pirate ship

You have your preference when it comes to sun or shade, another reason this is one of Aruba’s best snorkeling trips. There’s plenty of shade in the back of boat with benches all around the edge and center of the ship. You find the bar in this shaded section.

The front of the ship is open to sun though lacks benches. If you’re a sun lover, find a spot and enjoy the view.

The open bar is free – but be a good guest and tip your bartender, right? They offer rum, vodka, gin, whiskey, red wine, pirates poison (their specialty drinks – and it’s good!, and a pina colada. Interestingly, there is no beer option.

For mixers or those who don’t drink, you have plenty of choices, too. You have your choice of orange juice, cranberry juice, tomato juice, grapefruit juice, and pineapple juice, plus sodas and water.

Bathroom options

My recommendation? Use the facilities before you head to MooMba Beach.

The ship has a head available if needed. After you use it, you must pump to clear it. All paper and plastic goes into basket, so make sure you don’t flush it.

There is also a bathroom available around side of the check in building. That said, they aren’t serviced as often as possibly necessary. When my daughter used it, she had no toilet paper or soap. That said, the one my mom used had both.

After your cruise ends

After you tip your guides – you won’t forget that, will you? – you have your choice to hang out on MooMba Beach or head back to your cruise ship or hotel.

If you plan to leave right away, ask at check in, and they will call cab to get back to your hotel/cruise ship. If you’re on the sunset cruise, this won’t be an option, as they close up after everyone checks in.

The day we did our Jolly Pirates snorkel, only one of the three cabs they called ever came – and we waited a long time. You may be better off walking to a hotel and getting cab there.

If you head by the Holiday Inn, there’s lots of great shopping and restaurants beyond what was on the beach. It’s honestly worth the walk and exploration.

If you aren’t ready to head back to your hotel or cruise ship, there’s plenty to do on beach after your Aruba snorkel cruise. Right on the beach in front of the check in for Jolly Pirates, you’ll find a hopping outdoor bar. Aside from that, there are always beach activities, etc. Make a whole day of it at MooMba Beach!

What to Bring for Your Jolly Pirates Excursion

Once you get aboard the ship, you have no chance to pick up anything you may need, so don’t forget anything critical!

The good news? The cruise provides your snorkel gear and life vest, so no need to pack that, although you’re welcome to bring your own if you choose. But that’s it.

Make sure you pack:

• Your swimsuit (obvious, right?) and a change of clothes if you want to change back on the beach after your cruise
• A towel – I’m a huge fan of microfiber beach towels because they’re super absorbent and pack small.
• A hat for the sun to protect yourself  – this one is my all time favorite because it packs so easily and never loses its shape
• Sunscreen – the sun reflects off the water, so you’re especially prone to burning while snorkeling
• To avoid sunburn, consider wearing a  rash guard
• Money to tip your guides and for your taxi to and from MooMba Beach

We did pay for VIP, but definitely worth Me and my girlfriend had a great time with our tour guide Pablo! VIP Cenote is where it’s at!!! Tequila tasting was amazing 10/10. When you go ATVing bring glasses or goggles but not necessary as they do sell some there as well. The people in my group were also amazing shout out to them! Read more Written May 9, 2024
• laurenmF193JN 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Puerto Morelos A lovely experience all in all. If you like tacos and tequila then this is the experience for you! 3 different types of taco places - and different tequila stops too! The only downside, was getting hassled in the shops when we’ve already declined looking, or wanting to purchase something. The views were beautiful & it’s such a lovely little place! We didn’t have a tour guide constantly with us, and was slightly confused about the timings and if someone was going to come back for us on occasion! Overall, a lovely day.

• masarrm2022 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles SCAMMERS HORRIBLE. I got to the hotel meeting point at 12pm. The pick up time was at 12:35pm. Call their number and the lady on the phone claim that the bus came. I told her I didn’t see any cheetah bus. She told me that it’s a white van instead of a cheetah bus. They never send me a message on WhatsApp letting me know that they changed the bus. I told her I would like to reschedule for the next day. She told me it will be an additional $15 transportation fee in order for me to reschedule. DONT MAKE NO DAMN SENSE WHEN THE TOUR ALREADY INCLUDED A TRANSPORTATION. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. THEY’RE SCAMMERS. Read more Written May 6, 2024

• Discover596883 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Good but not great I like the experience over all , it’s kind of what I expected , not well organized but not terrible either, one thing I have to say, if you decide to do this watch out for your personal items , me and a friend got our sunglasses stolen, we don’t know if this was part of the staff or other Turist , we had this group of 15 people but when we jumped at the cenote we put them near the stairs but when we got out of the water it was no longer there. So be very aware of your personal items because that can happen and no one will help you. Our guide guy Lalo said he was going to Ask the group if someone took it by accident but he never did it . So make your own conclusion and take the right measurements. Read more Written May 5, 2024

I am terrified of heights and everyone made me feel very comfortable. They take safety very seriously while also making the experience so fun! The ATV riding was my favorite part, multiple staff members are there to make sure you’re good during your ride and the photographer takes amazing photos! The food was so yummy and the cenote was the perfect end of the day! I conquered my fears and met some amazing people. Definitely 10/10! Plus tequila tasting? YUM. Read more Written May 3, 2024
• I5295JZvictoriaa 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great experience, totally worth it! I had a great time! The site was super organized and the flow was seamless. Our tour guide was Mona Lisa and he was so great. He was energetic, kind, and respectful. I really appreciated the pick-up and drop off service, it made everything smooth and easy for us. I thought my favourite part would be the ATV but it turned out to be the Cenote! The only downside for me was the free tacos. Not filling at all and the menu options aren't the greatest. I would recommend bringing your own snacks or eating prior. You also can't bring your phone with you for the ATV and zipline activities. Theres a photographer onsite to capture everything but I found his pictures kind of expensive to purchase (around $70 USD for unedited pics). Read more Written May 1, 2024

    • Sun , Jan 30th: Wake up back in Miami about 8 AM.

Costs: There are two costs associated with this "hash" cruise. There's the hash registration (rego) fee that is paid to the JRH3 and then there's the cruise cost that is paid to our designated travel agent and cruise line. To view the cost chart, scroll down near the bottom of this site.

Hash Rego Fee: The hash rego fee pays for 8 hash trails (4 on board ship and 4 at the destinations), down down beer, pirate booty (gimmies) and for prizes for the hash challenges, hash games and other miscellaneous expenses. However, you may need to provide some of your own beer during some of the hashes to defray our cost. The hash rego fee is still only $99 even though its an extra day from our last cruise. Register online on HASH REGO (coming soon). Then, once you are approved, you can pay for your rego on-line through Venmo, at  https://venmo.com/RICHARD-GEERS , on Zelle, Cash App, or your bank's bill pay system. Or you can pay for your reog the old fashion way by mailing a check or money order payable to RICHARD GEERS, 7007 ORVICTI CT, WESLEY CHAPEL, FL 33544. The email address is [email protected] and the phone/text number is 813-943-4855, in case you need them.

Havana Suites, Ocean Suites and Grand Suites costs will be quoted upon request. A $500 deposit is required for luxury cabins (suites and aft balcony cabins). Contact Dunedin Travel for a quote on the particular type of cabin you are interested in. Once you book your cabin, our travel agent will ensure you get the lowest possible rate if the cost happens to decrease due to specials going on between now the day we sail. Be advised however, most of the sales occur early. The longer you wait the more you will pay.

Hash Hotel:  Clarion Inn and Suites Miami Airport, 5301 NW 36th St, Miami Springs FL 33166, https://goo.gl/maps/8jouGi7R5NekrheP6 . The group rates for our group is for double rooms for up to 4 people. They cost $139.00, plus 13 % tax ($157.07). The hotel requires 50% down to reserve a room at our group rate, and reservations can only be made through our travel agent, Kathy Yacone, at landline number 727-797-5730, or by email, at [email protected] . Please provide Kathy with your credit card number, your full name as written on the care, the card expiration date and the CID #. We have a block of rooms for Fri night, Jan 21st, 2022, but additional nights, before or after the cruise can also be added at the same rate. Parking During the Cruise: Parking is free at the hash hotel during any nights you stay at the hotel and while we are on the cruise (for a limited number of people, on a first come first serve basis). Please let Kathy know if you will be needing parking space at the hotel when you contact her to make your room reservations. Parking at the Port of Miami, is $22 per day. Cheaper parking can be found nearby if you search for it. Shuttle To The Port: There will be a shuttle running between the hash hotel and the port for $10 per person, "one" way. If interested, let yours truly, Dab (Dabadoo) know, as I will be collecting names and money for this bus. I will also be collecting names and money for a round trip bus from the ship to the hash starting location for $14 per person. You can  by cash, check, money order, or Venmo to https://venmo.com/RICHARD-GEERS, or by Zelle to [email protected], ph/text # 813-943-4855. Alcoholic Beverages Aboard Ship: In the past, most hashers BYOB on board even though its contrary to the Carnival 's policy, as its not all that well enforced, although they are starting to crack down more lately. You just can't be too obvious, or put all your eggs into one basket. Officially, we cannot give you permission, or even recommend you do this. Unofficially, its a heck of a good idea, if you can get away with it (as most people do). Its not against the law, its just against the cruise lines rules as they want you to buy their booze. However, if they find your unauthorized alcohol they will confiscate it and you WILL NO LONGER get it back at the end of the cruise as they have done in the past. So do as you will. Contact me personally for more info or advise, if needed. Purchasing a liquor package aboard ship is highly encouraged to offset the cost of down down beverage during hash events.
