About this experience

The Private Party Yacht Aruba experience by Midnight Sun is a private yacht cruise created for birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and other special celebrations. The published tour lasts 3 to 5 hours and accommodates private groups of 2 to 15 guests.

The experience includes a captain and crew, along with a custom music playlist chosen by the group. Guests can spend their charter listening to music, socializing and enjoying the yacht while cruising along Aruba’s coast. A bilingual crew is also listed as part of the experience.

Onboard amenities include Wi-Fi, an air-conditioned indoor salon, two restrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, snorkeling equipment, floats, and life jackets for adults and children. Reef-safe sunscreen is also available onboard. Soda, ice and water are included with the charter.

Groups can customize the celebration with optional additions. Midnight Sun lists themed decorations, a DJ, food and drinks, and a private bartender as extras. A premium open-bar upgrade with spirits and champagne is also available for an additional charge.

Safety, Accessibility & Suitability

This section is designed to reduce booking surprises and help guests choose the right Aruba experience.

Swimming / water comfortWear a life jacket when instructed by the crew. Use provided flotation equipment appropriately. Follow the captain’s instructions before entering the water. Only swim or snorkel when the crew confirms conditions are suitable. Stay within the designated swimming/snorkeling area. Do not swim alone or separate yourself far from the yacht. Avoid swimming after consuming excessive alcohol. Tell the crew if you are uncomfortable or need assistance.
Mobility notesUse handrails when boarding and moving around the yacht. Wear secure, non-slip footwear when appropriate. Move carefully on wet decks and around swim platforms. Avoid running or jumping on deck. Sit down during rougher sections of the cruise when instructed. Keep bags and personal items secured to prevent trip hazards. Ask crew members for assistance when boarding or disembarking.
Sun & heatApply reef-safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply regularly. Wear sunglasses with UV protection. Use a hat or other sun-protective clothing. Drink water regularly throughout the cruise. Take breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure after swimming. Be particularly cautious with alcohol because it can increase dehydration.
Weather policyFollow all captain instructions concerning sea and weather conditions. Expect itinerary changes when wind or waves affect comfort or safety. Do not enter the water during unsafe conditions. Seek shelter indoors if thunderstorms or lightning develop. Secure loose belongings during periods of stronger wind. Ask the crew before moving to exposed deck areas in rough seas. Understand that the captain may delay, modify, or cancel the trip for safety. Check the operator’s latest weather decision before departure if conditions look unsettled.
