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

The best one ever! The crew is wonderful and made it a party brunch with a non-stop yummi snacks and food treatments. They will meet you with your cup of drink and will refill it as soon as it goes off empty. They know the right spots to take you too and are just happy smiling faces. Thank you so much for an amazing experience! Greatly recommend! You absolutely won't regret.

Richard and his crew were very helpful, easy to talk to and made the event a great experience for my sisters and I. Food and drinks were plentiful and a nice variety and a souvenir to remember your trip. The 2 dive sights were delightful, we got some great photos.

This is the second time I have been on this trip. It’s a little smaller than some of the other boats and a little bit less fancy, but the crew is awesome. The drinks are great and their snorkel spots are really fun. Every time I go to Aruba I get my feet wet again by going out on this boat on my first morning of vacation. They take care of everything and it jump starts my vacation because I don’t have to think about anything.

We had an amazing time on this excursion! Everything about the experience was great. The food and drinks were great and the staff was absolutely amazing- super friendly, attentive, and made the whole trip so much fun. The snorkeling was a highlight and the spots we went to were beautiful. We were able to see turtles and cool fish. One thing I really appreciated was that the boat wasn’t crowded at all, which made the experience feel much more relaxed and enjoyable compared to some of the other boats we saw. Out of all the boat options out there, this was definitely the best one we could have chosen. I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, well-run, and memorable day on the water!

Overall a great experience! The crew, snacks, drinks and boat were awesome. The snorkelling itself was okay, as there wasn’t actually much to see.
