Your experience
Stop 1
Sail along Aruba’s beautiful coastline. The warm, clear, blue water of the Caribbean paired with hundreds of species of tropical fish and coral will be a feast for your eyes. If this sounds too good to be true, it’s not.
Stop 2
You’ll sail to two of Aruba’s best snorkel stops with our experienced captain and crew. The second stop of this charter are the shallow waters of Catalina Bay. You can spot angel fish, damsel fish, octopuses, sea fans and coral. New to snorkeling? Not a problem. Our captain and first made will patiently work with you to make sure you have safe and enjoyable snorkel adventure.
Stop 3
You’ll sail to two of Aruba’s best snorkel stops with our experienced captain and crew. The first location is the famous shipwreck ‘Antilla’, where you’ll spend 45 minutes of exploring. The Antilla sank more than 60 years ago and remains completely intact. Legend says the ship is a 1939 German freighter likely carried supplies during WW2 and was caught in the Dutch waters following Germany’s invasion of Holland. Explore the 400 foot Antilla easily and safe with guidance of our experienced crew.
