Discover Aruba from the water on your own private boat. This guided snorkeling trip takes you along the island’s beautiful southern coast, where you can swim in clear turquoise waters, explore coral reefs, or just relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. You set the pace and choose the stops, whether it’s a quiet beach, a lively snorkeling reef, or a scenic cruise along the coast.
Step aboard our 22-foot speedboat, Life’s a Beach, featuring cushioned seating, extra shade, and a powerful 250HP Yamaha engine. Your trip includes a friendly local captain, snorkeling gear, life jackets, and unlimited drinks like water, soda, and homemade rum punch.

What To Expect
Once aboard your spacious and comfortable boat, you'll get a quick safety briefing, be offered your first drink, and then it’s time to set sail along Aruba’s beautiful coast! As the boat glides through the sparkling Caribbean waters, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Aruba’s shoreline, passing luxury resorts, coves, and iconic rock formations. The boat is yours for the duration—no crowds, no rush—just your group and the open sea. Your captain will anchor at the best snorkeling spots, such as: Boca Catalina – Calm waters and vibrant coral gardens Malmok Reef – A reef teeming with tropical fish Tres Trapi – A secluded cove with starfish and sea turtles We provide all the snorkeling gear you’ll need, and your captain can point out cool underwater sights and marine life. Swim, snorkel, or float and take it all in. Back on board, relax under the shade or soak up the sun with an ice-cold drink in hand. We offer an open bar with water, soft drinks, rum punch—and you’re welcome to bring your own drinks or snacks if you’d like. Connect your own music playlist to the boat’s Bluetooth system, dance a little, or just enjoy the sea breeze as you cruise to your next stop or back to the dock.

DO NOT RENT FROM HERE. SAFETY HAZARDS

1.00Date: Wed, Apr 15, 2026 at 8:50 PM Subject: Recent scuba trip with Captain Rich -SAFETY ISSUE ISSUE: A group of 7 booked with you through TripAdvisor for Mon March 23 at 10 am. Confirmation # was 1372830611 Boat was dirty, and the hatch door was broken and was swinging outward the whole trip. Dashboard was torn up. He was on his cell phone almost the ENTIRE time, including taking photos of us without our permission. Then his cell phone battery ran out. He was paying little attention to the surroundings and we had to repeatedly warn him about approaching watercraft, buoy lines, etc. He pointed to a boat he had hit the week before! Once we got to the snorkel position (above shipwreck), we went in for 30 mins or so. Upon returning to the boat, we were informed that the LADDER was broken!!!! It was missing a bolt on one side so that it was dangling and not usable in the water. He tried to lift us on board, which was both unsafe and unsuccessful. We had to be RESCUED by a nearby boat, Arubaxtremevibes, whose captain (Captain Andreas) offered to board us. He accompanied us back toward shore to shallower water, where we tied up and transferred back to the Come and Enjoy boat. I don't even know if his radio worked, but he had no cell phone to call for assistance. And didn't apologize or act disturbed by the incident. Additional issues 1) Captain Rich was 15 min late, to begin with. 2) There was only water on board, no sodas as listed on the website. 3) He dropped us off 15 mim early, but we were so shaken we didn't push on that. OUTCOME: I would like a full refund for this disaster of a trip. I've not yet posted an online review, because I wanted to give your business the opportunity to make things right.

1.00Very inconsiderate company. They obviously over book, as they left us standing on the beach for 75 minutes waiting with no water as they were out with another family. They kept telling us just another 15 minutes...like 5 times. We ended up leaving afterv15 minutes as 2 of us had headaches already from dehydration. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND !!!!
Easy and Fun Snorkeling trip

5.00Chris was a wonderful captain. We enjoyed the boat and snorkeling. Booking was very easy and quick, it was a last minute addition to our trip so we were glad we were able to get it arranged. The water was a bit choppy but Chris handled it well.
Five star experience

5.00We booked a private snorkeling trip and this is a MUST DO! JR and his crew were great. It was the highlight of our vacation. We look forward to doing it again next time we are in Aruba.
Cancelled on us the day before the trip

1.00Booked this tour a few weeks before our trip. The day before the tour, they cancelled on us with no actual reason. We wrote back to them with our disappointment they offered an alternative tour operator that was more money and it could be paid via Zelle or cash app 🤨 Seemed like a scam. Beware.
Aruba girls trip
