How to get most out of this small island in your mostly very short holiday. First of all: Use Monsoon in Aruba as your floating hotel and save lots of money and hassle. You could come with a party of up to 15 persons (a couple on deck and in the hammock) You could even do you own cooking on board. If you anna be close to the capital (named Oranjestad) or do a lot of partying we move the ship to Havana Beach, with a 3 minute dinghy ride to the town center, and a 5 minute cab ride to the airport. If you wanna windsurf and have tranquil nights, we move Monsoon towards the northern Fisherman Huts, where you could as well dive the big Antilla wreck. (we have the gear and the dive compressor) All along the coastline find white sandy beaches.
Aruba has strong and stable trade winds from month Feb. to August and is excellent for a day or afternoon sail trip on Monsoon along the north western coastline (from Havana Beach towards the Northern tip of the island we are often blasting 9 knots of speed.

We would love to take you out sailing
Curacao, Bonaire, Islas las Aves, mainland Venezuela, Islas Los Monjes.
Once on Aruba for a holiday one has to be pretty brave to visit the surrounding islands by ship or by yacht, as all surrounding seas are rough and most uncomfortable. Not many do it but if you want this, be sure you have a good plan and a good idea of all passengers sea keeping ability and captain Monsoon will inform you in all details.
You could fly of course from Aruba to Curacao, Bonaire and peninsula Paraguana on mainland of Venezuela. But You can't fly to Islas Los Monjes or to Islas Las Aves, only Monsoon goes there!

Curacao (70 miles eastward) is a nice and more Caribbean style island, more variety in landscape and a colorful fruit market downtown on little boats. South east of Curacao we find a small paradise island called Klein Curacao, good for a shorter visit and do some windsurfing, kite surfing or diving.
Next in the chain to the east is Bonaire from where one can sail quickly to Islas Las Aves.
Consist of two uninhabited coral atolls offering you the most beautiful corals of the Caribbean, most exciting diving/snorkeling and a superb hide-away ambiance. In 2004 we discovered here the canons of the lost French armada, and furthermore a few brilliant coral formations and a real great cave with some real size sharks. Inside the circular reef is tranquility. Also for kids and non-seafarers. Buy fish and lobsters from fisherman around. Las Aves is our #1 !! Only 5 hours sailing east from Bonaire which has good air connections. If you want to get an impression of mainland South America, than a visit to Paraguana is something recommendable. Old american cars, beer for 50 cents, local flavors, lots of fruits, crazy people, it's all yours here: South America's Paraguana.
Last but not least: Islas Los Monjes. A few barren rocks in the middle of the Caribbean sea, between Colombia and Venezuela. A bit a Falkland island look alike. Very seldom visited and pure nature style.
