Hi everyone --

My fiance and I are going to be getting married in Aruba in October. We are looking to arrange some sort of sailing excursion on Friday afternoon - maybe 3:30-6:30, coming in just after sunset. We're expecting 20-30 people and would prefer a private charter if possible. There could be a wide range of ages from 3 years old to 80.

So far I've been thinking one of the 'pirate cruises' might be the most fun for the kids (my fiance has two boys, 9 & 13 years old). You can rent out the Mi Dushi boat for sailing / snorkeling what seems to be a fair price (Jolly Pirates is around 50% more). The only thing I've been unsure of is I've read the snorkeling isn't great.

Any other ideas for a cost effective boating excursion? I am interested in something that will provide an open bar and snacks. Would also love great music and a party atmosphere that isn't too wild. I love catamarans but want something a little more interesting than just a 'sunset cruise' that might bore the kids.

Thanks,

Christene
