Boarding takes place via a spacious shuttle boat (for up to 15 people) that transports guests to the catamaran. This shuttle, like all our vessels, undergoes inspection every six months to ensure safety and quality. From the beach hut (where check-in takes place), it’s a short 30-meter/ 98 foot ride to the catamaran. This area of the sea is as calm as a lake, with little to no waves throughout the year
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Stay away from this company!!! Biggest scam in Aruba. We paid for an excursion for a family of 5 and the catamaran left without us. No refund, no apology, no sympathy, not even a response back from the DIRECTOR of the company. Our catamaran was supposed to leave at 9 and at 848 it already left the dock even though our hotel concierge called repeatedly to tell them our taxi was delayed and we were on our way. When we arrived at the dock we asked for the dingy to come and get us and Marina from the beach hut would not even look up from her phone. We asked her to call the captain and again she said no not even looking up from her phone. We asked another company on the beach to take us to the catamaran who gladly said yes but wanted approval from octopus and Marina also said no. They don’t care about you as a customer and everyone we spoke to on the beach confirmed that. Save your money and book your excursions with a company that cares.

Everything was wonderful. Crew was so helpful and knowledgeable. Snorkeling was great. Food and drink were on point. Just the right number of guests for fun yet personal. Would definitely do again.

We came with our 2 year old and it was incredible! The snacks were delicious, the service was amazing, the snorkeling was awesome. I’m not one to usually leave reviews but felt everyone on this boat went above and beyond.

Overall the trip was very good and my wife and I enjoyed it. The boat was very nice and we loved the soft, cushy seats at the back. What made it much better was the fact that there were only 12 passengers, so plenty of room for people to sit where they wanted. The food was very minimal, but good, so if your looking for a big meal, take another boat. We were there to enjoy the sun, sea and snorkeling. Saw many fish and a lot of turtles, so everyone enjoyed that! The crew was friendly and helpful and made sure everyone had their adult beverage glasses full. I highly recommend this company to anyone, but have to warn you that one man that was on our cruise had taken the sunset cruise the evening before, but said that with 40 passengers onboard it was not as enjoyable.
