“Great outing for our first time in Aruba and first time snorkeling! Here for our 25th anniversary with our teenagers. All the stops were amazing, the buffet lunch was like being at a high end restaurant, the crew led by Caezar was upbeat, fun and helpful in every way. We wanted to book another outing with this crew as soon as it ended. Our kids 15, and 19 raved about the day saying it went too fast which it did. They also thanked us parents for booking it. Thank you for the great memories.”

Review of Aruba’s Antilla shipwreck and Catalina Bay snorkel sail, with practical advice on price, snorkeling, food, drinks, and timing.
“Fantastic crew- very funny and welcoming! The snorkeling locations were not the best I've been to but the excursion seemed to be more of a party boat vibe, many people didn't even snorkel they were just drinking and lounging on the catamaran. I wouldn't do this one again for the snorkel but if I wanted to do a fun sail with a party crew this would be it!!”
