From childhood joke to real pirate ship
Three friends with a shared love of the ocean turned an old joke into Flagship Aruba.
Our story
Three friends, one dream
Flagship Aruba was founded by three lifelong friends with maritime backgrounds who shared a love of the ocean and a childhood joke about someday owning a pirate ship of their own. They turned that joke into a real, beautifully crafted wooden vessel, and built a crew around sharing the same sense of adventure with every guest who comes aboard.
All of our cruises depart from the pier in front of MooMba Beach Bar on Palm Beach.
We restored her ourselves
Before Flagship Aruba could carry her first guests, our crew spent weeks hand-restoring the schooner: sanding and repainting the hull, rebuilding rigging, and repainting her name across the stern. We still do the maintenance ourselves, because a wooden ship this old only stays this beautiful if you take care of her like family.
The details that matter
Three friends, one dream
We grew up joking about owning a pirate ship someday. Today, that ship is the one you'll be stepping onto.
A real wooden schooner
Not a modern catamaran dressed up for photos. Ours is a genuinely wooden vessel, built to feel like the real thing.
MooMba Beach, Palm Beach
We depart from the pier in front of MooMba Beach Bar, an easy walk from most Palm Beach resorts.
