The sun slides low over Aruba’s western shore and teak decks glow gold as the Jolly Pirates schooner slips from the harbor. Laughter, a DJ’s beat and the clink of glasses fill the air while guests lean over the bowsprit to watch the horizon catch fire. Somewhere aft, the rope swing dangles like an invitation; the crew times the plunge so you can cut loose and cool off in Caribbean water.
