Catamaran Afternoon Snorkel Tour in Aruba

With over 25 years of sailing experience, our captain and crew take great pride in the thrill of introducing delighted visitors to snorkeling and the relaxation of multi-hull sailing. There is plenty of room onboard so you can settle in and relax. We offer personalized service and attention – from snorkeling tips to special order meals – in order to create memories that will last a lifetime. On our afternoon trip we snorkel at the German freighter SS Antilla and in Catalina Bay, the best spots for snorkeling in Aruba. Our 41 foot trimaran sailing yacht can suit 45 people but we cut off our bookings at 36 in order to avoid mass tourism!

You will meet us in our office on Palm Beach at 12:30 pm to check-in for your catamaran tour. You will sail to two of Aruba’s best snorkel stops with your experienced captain and crew. You will enjoy the freedom of sailing and discover the thrill of Aruba’s constant and soothing trade winds as you sail along the scenic coast.

If you snorkel, all of your gear will be provided for you. The crew will pass out the gear and show you how to use it. While in the water, you will experience the crystal clear, blue water of the Caribbean and the multitude of sea life at your own pace and leisure. You can see a variety of fish, coral, and even sponges in these waters! The clarity is good so bring your waterproof camera to capture the beauty. Whether you are a novice or an experienced snorkeler, the captain and crew are on hand to ensure that you have a safe and truly enjoyable time.

Reserve an underwater scooter for power snorkeling! Power snorkeling is snorkeling done with the aid of powered propeller device that carries you through the water up to 5 times faster than swimming alone. They are powered by a Lithium-Ion battery and are very easy to operate. As an added bonus, you also look pretty cool zooming through the water. Yup with these beauties, James Bond and Jacques Cousteau have nothing on you!

From the bay you will head to the SS Antilla, a popular shipwreck just off Aruba’s shores. Explore the 400 foot Antill, the cargo ship that was launched in 1939 and scuttled in 1940 when Germany invaded Holland during World War II.

Back on board, we will make our way to Boca Catalina (Catalina Bay) for a bit more underwater exploration. The crystal clear water, only 8-10 feet deep, is ideal for viewing the colorful tropical marine life that inhabit Aruba’s aqua-colored wonderland. Many species of coral, including brain and star coral, and a diverse population of fish, including parrot fish and blue tangs, are some of the beautiful creatures you’ll most likely encounter. When you are finished with your time in the water, the crew will assist you back on the boat.

Get dried off and you will have a light lunch of fresh-baked crusty bread topped with cheese and meat as well as fresh tropical fruit while enjoying your sail through Aruba’s coastline back to Palm Beach. There is even an open cocktail bar serving cocktails prepared with rum, vodka, whiskey gin, Aruba Ariba, sodas, and water. The perfect way to spend your time in Aruba as you recline along the deck and take in the sea breezes as you, reluctantly, return to reality by 4:00 pm. Who could ask for a more relaxing afternoon? Your captain and crew will see to it that you have a wonderful day in Aruba.
