Oranjestad Marina Panorama

Oranjestad features a convenient marina located just across the street from a major hotel/casino complex.

You’ll find all kinds of boats, both large and small here. For those interested in fishing, you’ll find charter boats for hire. Then there are the yachts that I have posted before. In the distance, you’ll see the bow of a cruise ship along the main wharf. Finally, don’t be surprised if you see a tugboat or two loitering.

Bon dia.

Cruising in style…

If you have the cash, consider cruising in high style, as in chartering a yacht like the Silver Shalis. Here she is, as seen right before she picked up the hook in Oranjestaad, Aruba.

Nice ship, eh? Aruba sees numerous yachts of the class throughout the year. If you remember, there was an earlier post about the Boardwalk. Whatever your method of travel, be safe.

Boardwalk, Oranjestaad Harbor

Boardwalk is the name of a very nice motor yacht that pulled into Oranjestaad Harbor here in Aruba the other day. She sports her own helicopter, which would come in mighty handy now and then. Take a look.

High style, no? You bet. Caused traffic jams on the road through town as everyone gawked. Wouldn’t mind a ride aboard her so long as I don’t have to pay the fuel.
