Every AWA Aruba private charter comes fully crewed with a captain and mate, aboard our 44ft Orana Fountaine Pajot Catamaran (3 cabins, 2 WC, air conditioning). Included in every trip: a full open bar (Tito’s Vodka, Bacardi Rum, Balashi local beer, Prosecco, Jose Cuervo Tequila, water, sodas and juices), appetizers and refreshments, beach towels, snorkeling equipment, floaties, and paddle boards on request, plus our deluxe audio system with USB and Bluetooth. WiFi and premium bottles can be added for an extra cost, and a private onboard chef is available as an add-on for a full dining experience.
We recommend booking as early as possible, ideally a few weeks ahead, especially during peak season (December to April) and around holidays when our fleet fills up quickly. That said, we’re always happy to accommodate shorter-notice requests whenever availability allows, so it’s worth reaching out even if your date is close.
A deposit is required to secure your booking and is non-refundable. The remaining balance is fully refundable if you cancel up to 7 days before your charter date. To reschedule or cancel, just reach out to our team at booking@awaaruba.com or +297 562 1602 as early as possible.
