The four fascinating locations are, Rodgers Beach in San Nicolas, the Boulevard beach right next to the Surfside Marina, Aruba Watersports Center and the most famous Fisherman's Huts. These convenient situated spots make sunfish sailing very attractive because of their beautiful white sand beaches, the consistent north-east wind and the perfect accessibility.

"You have every reason to be." Designed in 1951, the Sunfish is a miracle of simplicity and function: The sail plan requires just two lines to control and the boat can be set up in less than five minutes. The patented kick-up rudder system allows full beach landings with no problems. The hard-chinned hull and low sail plan provide unmatched stability and a forgiving feel. The Sunfish hull is light enough to throw on top of your car with ease, and the bulletproof Vanguard construction ensures that your Sunfish will provide years of virtually maintenance free enjoyment. The Sunfish combines performance, stability and durability in a package that appeals to beginners and experts alike.

Rodger’s Beach

is undoubtedly Aruba’s most beautiful open boat sailing location. Sailing conditions are excellent as the easterly wind is hardly interrupted by land combined with the fact that the bay is protected by a submerged reef!

Surfside

is a nice bay conveniently located along the L.G. Smith Boulevard in Oranjestad. Sailing conditions at Surfside are generally good although winds often include puffs and gusts. Surfside is also a perfect starting place for a Sunfish trip through the lagoon along the airport runway!

Fishermen’s Huts

or ‘The Huts’ as it is popularly called is undoubtedly Aruba’s most active board sailing location. Sailing conditions are very good once you get out half a nautical mile or more away from the shore. The wind is hardly interrupted over land and ocean swells are light. This combination can result in excellent board sailing conditions!

Aruba Watersports Center

situated between the luxurious Radisson and Occidental high rise hotel, famous for its many different water activities. At this location the Sunfish Club holds some of its competitions that are professionally assisted by Aruba Watersports Center.
