A fabulous experience - We loved our snorkel trip - the staff were super friendly and professional and handed out snacks as soon as we left the pier. We went to 3 different snorkel spots - the 2nd one by the shipwreck was busy as there were other boats there. Lunch was good - much better than we expected and we loved the sail back after lunch. A very good deal for 4 hours of fun!

So much fun! - This excursion was well worth it! The fish were plentiful and first time snorkeling over a sunken ship which was cool. All of the staff were helpful and a lot of fun. Would highly recommend!

Very fun day, highly recommended - Very fun, water was calm, smooth sailing. The shipwreck was neat to see. The crew was very nice and accommodating. Only thing I would suggest is wear a swim shirt, the water is a little cool in the morning and they do not offer wet suits for rent.

Honeymoon, snorkeling trip. - My wife and I came for our second trip to Aruba and went snorkeling this time on Red Sail’s Rumba catamaran. Definitely family friendly even though there was an open bar, no one got stupid or out of hand. Dennis and mates were great, Lizy was a wonderful host I am very funny, the other mate/bartender, was pleasant and very helpful. Had a great time at all. Three snorkeling stops, captain was very clear about the rules and safety precautions, especially when we were further offshore. Want to see some sea turtles which made my wife’s whole day. Would highly recommend.

Memorable Experience - We had an incredible time on our snorkeling tour! The entire staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel completely safe throughout the experience. It was my boyfriend’s first time snorkeling, and since he’s not a strong swimmer, we were a bit nervous. The captain was very clear about letting him know if anyone needed extra support, so we did just that. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made my boyfriend feel comfortable and secure in the water.
I’m a confident swimmer and stayed by his side the whole time, but the crew’s support made all the difference. This was a huge step out of his comfort zone, and he ended up enjoying all three stops—especially getting to see sea turtles, which was the highlight of the trip!
A huge thank you to the captain and the amazing crew for making this experience even better than we expected. It’s a memory we’ll never forget!

Too many people - The crew was fantastic and the boat was lovely, but I feel they way over booked so it was crowded and we really had to stay on one part of the boat. Once one group took over the front, no one else could enjoy it. We sat behind the captain, and sights were blocked. The shipwreck stop was great, but the other two were disappointing….saw very few fish. The general snorkeling part was very boring. Food was meh, but it was a sunny day in Aruba so can’t complain too much.
