Highlights
  • Piet’s Pier Bar - Snorkeling is one of the best and easiest ways to discover Aruba’s Underwater Marine life. Board one of Red Sail Aruba’s luxury catamarans to take you to two of Aruba’s best snorkel spots; the Antilla shipwreck and Boca Catalina. Refuel and refresh with bite-sized appetizers and a fully stocked open bar.
  • Boca Catalina - Located off the northwestern tip of Aruba, small and secluded Catalina Bay offers placid, transparent waters, the ideal spot to refresh or learn snorkeling skills. After a safety briefing, slip on provided snorkeling gear and jump in!

Dip your mask underwater and marvel at a wonderland of tropical fish. In the shallow waters reaching a depth of approx. 15 feet (5 meters), you may see queen angelfish, schools of blue parrotfish and damselfish swimming around nearby coral and sea fans.

  • The Antilla - The shipwreck now provides a thriving home for a diverse array of marine life. Put on your snorkeling mask, kick your fins and explore the waters averaging 30 to 50 feet (9 to 15 meters) in visibility. The wreck begins at approximately 10 feet below sea level.

Check out the starboard side of the ship, wholly crusted with thick coral. Hover over the forecastle and watch yellowtail snapper, butterfly fish, southern stingrays and green morays glide around the upper deck. Admire star, white-tipped fire and brain corals, and catch glimpses of barracudas, bluehead wrasse and schools of white grunts.

After a leisurely snorkel at the shipwreck, relax aboard the catamaran and sip more offerings from the open bar while we sail back to Palm Beach.

Highlight of our trip! - This was the highlight of our trip to Aruba! The captain and tour guides were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. They kept the experience super fun while keeping us all safe, which was especially important for us traveling with children. The complimentary snacks and drinks made it an overall enjoyable time as well. Would highly recommend and can't wait to be back!

So cool! - This trip was great fun. Snorkeling in the beautiful waters and then going over to the cargo shipwreck. That was my favorite part. If you are any kind of a history fan and love stuff like that, this was thrilling to see. It was my first time doing something like this and I loved it.

Great experience - This was a really great trip for my family with young kids. The boat ride was fun and smooth. The snorkeling was great and we even saw a sea turtle. However, the currents are strong so I definitely recommend life vests for kids even if they are strong swimmers. The boat provides small bites on the ride back. Overall, a really great experience.

False Start...... - Tour operator cancelled less than 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. I booked this trip a few weeks before I was on the Island. I would recommend scheduling your tours in person when you arrive so you can avoid this headache.
