Aruba Nautical Club

Aruba Nautical Club is located in Balashi, down the coast from the capital Oranjestad, near the Spanish Lagoon. It’s a medium sized marina opened in 1964 with the aim of promoting sustainable yachting and fishing in Aruba. Among the many activities available here, there are several fishing tournaments of which the best known is the yearly Classic International Billfish tournament. Close to the marina lies Aruba’s only all-inclusive destination, De Palm Island, where you can spend a day enjoying the landscape and local cuisine, walking on the beach or trying one of the many available activities such as snorkeling, zip line, or sea trek – a unique underwater experience that allows walking on the seabed. Aruba is one of the Caribbean’s most popular destinations due to its white sand beaches and friendly atmosphere. About 20 percent of its territory is covered by Arikok National Park, the largest in the Caribbean, an area with a diverse geology where the earliest traces of human habitation on Aruba can be seen at Fontein Cave.
