Description

Check in at our office in Palm Beach and board our our 65-foot (20 meters) sailing catamaran, which is your ticket to some great fun in the sun. We will visit two snorkeling stops, at Boca Catalina or Malmok Beach and the famous World War II shipwreck, the SS Antilla. You will board a dinghy boat to cruise to the catamaran waiting for you on the water.


We will decide our first stop depending on current weather and sea conditions, as well as underwater visibility to make sure you have a great time. Both Boca Catalina and Malmok Beach are a spectacular white sand beach, perfect for those who don't want to snorkel just work on their tan.


The reef at Boca Catalina and Malmok Beach are a perfect place to practice snorkeling. They offer shallow, calm water and plenty to see from colorful fishes, stingrays, crabs and sometimes even turtles. If you have never snorkeled before, ask our friendly crew to show you some tricks.


Our second stop will be the sunken World War II freighter, the SS Antilla, one of the largest shipwrecks of the Caribbean. The SS Antilla is lying on her port side in approximately 50 feet (18 meters) of water but the top of the boat just barely misses the surface! It is home to a myriad of fish species and moray eels.


We will serve you alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, some light snacks and off course music to guarantee you a great time on board for an unbeatable price.

    We had a great time on this snorkel excursion. Our ship arrived late, so we didn't arrive to our excursion on time, but Aruba Catamaran and Sail was so great. They took us on a little boat to meet up with the catamaran...we didn't miss a thing! I would recommend this company for your excursion while you are in Aruba.

    This is our third trip to Aruba and we have gone on the Arusun at least once each trip. The crew is always super, drinks are great, and my daughter Ioves the chicken and tuna wraps. We went twice this trip, and Orlando and Alan were a delight. We ❤️the Arusun!

    It was great to get out on the water. The crew was extremely friendly and helpful while also maintaining safety. Snorkeling was enjoyable but quite limited. Only one ship to see at the first snorkeling location.

    MUST DO!!! :)
    This tour was definitely worth it! So far this has been the highlight of my trip. Not only do you get free drinks, they also include snacks consisting of fruit and tuna/chicken rolls. Honestly, after paying $10 per drink at most of the bars in Aruba, I got about 7-8 drinks included in the price of this tour, so I would say I saved a fair amount of money! The tour guides were very sweet and funny as well. Both sites we stopped at to snorkel were beautiful and the ship had a lively energy with great music. I would highly highly recommend and my friend and I might even book it again this week while we are in Aruba! By far, the best tour we have booked thus far. :)

    I wanted to do a catamaran in Aruba for my honeymoon. While we were laying on the beach we kept seeing De Palm and Red Sail catamarans filled with people. I looked into multiple places and am SO glad we picked this company. They are family owned and the most affordable trip. They treated us like royalty. It was a small-ish group, way smaller than the catamarans filled to the brim at the other companies. Gabriel and Orlando were amazing! They came out to us laying on the netting and brought a tray of drinks( Rum punch) for free. I was not expecting them to come and serve us! We could get as many drinks as we want all for free. They also let us know that if we lose our mask, snorkel, or fins that we don't have to pay for it, just tell them right away so they can dive down for it. The snacks that they offer were really good! I thought it would be chips or something but it was actually fresh cut fruit and rolled up tuna and chicken salad. Much needed after the choppy waters. Use a life vest! Even if you are a good swimmer, it is so much more enjoyable to float and watch the fish than to have to fight the waves while doing it. Also, Gabriel and Orlando throw bread to the fish while your snorkeling. Ask them to give you some and the fish will literally eat out of your fingers. So cool!

    We visited my daughter who works on Aruba and she booked the Catamaran Sail / Snorkeling trip with the Arusun. In the morning of 15 November 2018 we sailed away. As my girlfriend and I never had done this before, we already were pretty pre-excited! And wow, it definitely *was* awesome! The Antilla wreck, swimming together with tons of fish I never could have dreamed about, the drinks and food...

    But here's the thing that brought us the most: The 2 man crew, Orlando and Gabriel, showed what humans can actually mean for other humans! As it absolutely didn't matter if you were young or old, thin or fat, healthy or slightly handicapped, hey, could swim or not... they took care for each and every passenger, with so much love and dedication!

    I spoke to a passenger who told me that, as he couldn't really swim, he thought he would not even touch the water... Well, with help of Orlando and Gabriel: he actually did!! Yay! The face of that man (and other people who doubted they would ever be snorkeling) was priceless... The genuineness and dedication of the crew was beyond what I've witnessed since a long time... I strongly recommend this experience!

    Orlando and Lisa were both very nice & efficient. They did a great job entertaining us & providing us with all we needed. The snorkel over the Antilla Shipwreck was awesome. To view something that was part of WWII along with the tropical fish was great. The water is clear and beautiful. After the snorkel we had fruit along with chicken & tuna wraps. Both were very good. Drinks were offered as soon as we set sail. As we reached the second location the Boca Catalina was not as deep, but still well over our heads. More tropical fish and other marine life. Both snorkels were great as was the catamaran sail back. Very relaxing & very enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour.

    My husband and I did the 2.5 hour catamaran on our last full day on the island. I was having some anxiety leading up to the sail because I haven’t spent a lot of time on boats. All my worrying was for nothing though because this was an awesome experience!! This was our favorite thing we did on our whole trip and we wish we could of had more time on the boat. The whole morning went by so fast. It was an excellent value for the price; 2 snorkeling stops, an open bar and snacks. The crew was awesome. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting to try out the catamaran sail with Aruba Watersports Center! Bring sunscreen, a towel and an underwater camera if you want.

    Great trip! Easy half day snorkeling at the Antilla shipwreck and a small shallow reef near the shore. Lots of fish, urchins, a sea turtle, and the shipwreck only a few meters below the surface is a great backdrop. Had a blast with Alain and Gabriel, who were funny and knowledgeable of the area and made sure everyone was enjoying the trip. Highly recommend them, would definitely book another outing!
