Aruba Water Skiing — 20 Minutes (20% Deposit)

Description

Water skiing Aruba happens on the calm western side of the island, which is the part of the coast that makes skiing realistic for visitors rather than a fight with the swell. You get twenty minutes behind the boat on water that is usually flat enough to hold an edge.

What to expect from water skiing Aruba

The crew sets the rope and the speed to match how you ski, so a first-timer gets a slow, patient start and someone who already skis gets a proper pull. The first attempt or two usually end in the water; that is normal and the boat simply circles back.

Go early if you want the smoothest surface. By mid-afternoon the wind has usually arrived and the water gets choppier, which is more demanding on the legs.

What you pay for water skiing Aruba

The full price is $70.00 per person. You pay a 20% deposit of $14.00 online now to hold the booking, and the remaining $56.00 per person is paid at the beach on the day of your excursion. Tax is added at checkout. Because you are booking direct through One Happy Island rather than through a reseller, there is no booking fee stacked on top.

Booking and where to meet

Choose your date above and set how many people are coming. We confirm the time with you by email, since slots shift with the weather and with the day’s other bookings. The meeting point is J.E. Irausquin Boulevard 83, Palm Beach, Aruba, and your confirmation email repeats the address along with what to look for when you arrive.

If you are staying on Palm Beach or Eagle Beach you are a short walk or a very quick taxi ride away. To fill out the rest of the day, the other watersports and boat trips all leave from the same stretch of sand.
