    We recently booked a private catamaran for our group of 16 people and it was the highlight of our trip! They picked us up right from the beach of our hotel which was very convenient. The crew was amazing and provided us with great drinks and snacks. We had plenty of time to spend in the water at two different locations which we all enjoyed. Overall, we had a great time and plan on booking another private catamaran during our next visit to Aruba!

    Crew was very nice and accommodating to our family group of 11. Snorkeling here seems to be predominantly near beaches and not as exciting as other countries we’ve visited but the boat ride and crew were great and it was still one of the hilights of our week in Aruba! We were thankful they had room to squeeze us into their scheduling.

    This was a wonderful boat (except for missing Net went for repair). Crew was nice and attentive. Lunch could have been better ( only 1 slice of turkey lunch meat). Lacked substance. We had rented the boat for a private group. We paid in full a month before trip. The day before the trip, we asked if 2 additional guests we met in Aruba, could come and if there would be any extra cost. They told us no problem and not to worry about additional cost. Upon getting on boat and setting sail, one of the crew approached me and said the additional 2 people would cost $200. I did not want to make a big deal in front of family and friends, we negotiated to $100. Very disappointed this was not brought up on phone call the day before, and also being confronted once we set sail felt it was done on purpose. Not something you want to deal with in the middle of your vacation or excursion.
    Response from supplier
    Hi Paul,

    Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you feel this way. The prices we offer are up to an x number of people. During our conversations we have already added 2 free people to your booking (this was already an exception). We are known for our service to our guests, that is why we did not charge any extra costs for you.

    My colleague said that you called the night before and you might want to add 2 extra guests. She has said that it is not a problem if you want to add guests, saying that you must pass it by e-mail or telephone (but the price had not yet been discussed here because it was not yet certain). It is therefore no 2 extra persons but now it was 4 extra persons for us. You do have a rightful point that this should have been discussed beforehand and not on the boat itself. Fortunately this has never happened before, but this is now noted as an agenda point for the next meeting (to prevent this in the future). We would therefore like to thank you again for your review so that we can learn from this. Obviously this is not done express, but the size of your group was now far beyond the x number of people as agreed.

    We would like to thank you for the compliments to our crew. We hope to see you on board again in the future so we can make it up to you (you can contact us so we can tell you how we are going to make it up well).

    We had plenty of options some cheaper and some more expensive but these guys came highly recommended. They didn’t disappoint and our guests were super happy . Easy to book for our wedding party which was around 35+ people. We really appreciated the quick and clear communication which at times can be challenging on the island. They picked us up at the ritz beach and ferried us out to the main boat. Had a great 4 hour cruise with an open bar, multiple stops with great snorkeling and amazing views. Thank you guys for making our trip with you memorable for our guests. Also the captain gave my wife a beautiful gift that his 93 year old blind mother knitted for her which was one of the nicest gestures that we have yet to experience on the one happy island. Thanks again

    We rented a private boat with 3 Young kids, ages 3, 2, and 8 months. The staff was extremely accommodating and catered specifically to our needs. We stayed in shallow waters, and away from rough seas. The crew was great with young kids and allowed them to have the best time! We rented for 6 hours and we thought it may be tough with kids but it was AMAZING!!!! Do not hesitate to book!

    We recently chartered this catamaran to explore the Aruba coast. It was an unforgettable adventure for the 5 of us. Crew members, Roget and Sebastian, provided us with an endless supply of "Aruba Aribas", delicious sandwiches and fruit, as well as an amazing snorkeling experience. They provided all of the necessary equipment, and offered great snorkeling tips. Perfect weather, great accommodations, and outstanding service made this a memorable adventure. We can't wait to do it again, and would highly recommend this company to friends and family.

    We did a private charter for half a day with some friends last weekend and had a perfect day. Roche and Sebastiaan were top notch. We set sail at 9am; they were waiting and ready for us when we arrived. They gave us a run down of the boat, our itinerary and asked us our preferences before we left. We were immediately greeted with mimosas and music and had a fantastic day. Both Roche and Sebastiaan were very attentive and accommodating. It was clear they wanted us to have a good time. We stopped at Eagle Beach, the Antilla shipwreck, another swim spot (cannot remember the name) and had plenty of time to relax, snorkel and have a great time. We would definitely recommend this charter and hope to have the opportunity to go back. Great crew! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable day!

    We had 9 people for a private swim/snorkel afternoon. From the beginning we cannot say enough about our experience- top notch. Roget and Sebastian were our crew and did an amazing job with exceptional and personal service. The catamaran was practically brand new and the fresh food/drinks and personal touches for my husband's birthday were amazing. It was well worth every penny. We can't thank Roget and Sebastian enough. Thank you for a great afternoon with friends and family- can't wait to come back!

    It's Valentine's Day and our anniversary. I wanted to plan something special for my husband so I booked a private sailing, just the two of us, on the Octopus' catamaran. My husband was so surprised and pleased. The boat has recently been totally refurbished and was so clean and attractive. Everything was new. The colors they chose are orange, gray and white which is the perfect contrast with blue water and Caribbean sky.

    We sailed up and down Aruba's coast. It was a perfect Aruba day (sunny with just a sprinkling of rain) and the sea was just a little rough, which we like. Roger acted as host and Sebastian as the captain. Roger served us beverages when we boarded and never stopped. We had a light snack and then lunch which was sandwiches and fruit. They played 70s rock and we sang along.

    It was breathtaking: the colors of the water, the white clouds against blue Aruba skies and the churning surf thrilled us. We chose not to snorkel just because we enjoy sailing more than being it the water but we could have and I'm sure it would have been great.

    Hi,

Great to get feedback from you now and to read that your husband has been so incredibly happy with the surprise! It makes our team very happy to read this, here we do it all for. Thank you for your wonderful words about the completely renovated Octopus. I must greet you from Roche and Sebastiaan and thank you again for the great time. It's been a pleasure having you with us. We hope to welcome you on a next visit to the One Happy Island.
