$900 per boat Reserve now

This private boat charter is for your group only. A center-console speed boat with twin engines, a captain and a guide take you along Aruba’s northwest coast to three of its best swim spots, at your pace. One flat price covers the whole boat for up to 10 guests, so it works as well for a couple as for a family or a group of friends.

The three stops

  • Tres Trapi. Swim with sea turtles in clear, shallow water where they come to feed. Your guide shows you where to look.
  • Antilla shipwreck. A World War II wreck lying off the coast. Snorkel above it or take it in from the boat.
  • Boca Catalina. A calm bay with reef fish close to the surface, an easy snorkel for every level.

One price for the whole boat

The charter is $900 per boat for 1 to 10 guests. You pay a 20% deposit of $180 online to request your date, and the remaining $720 in cash (US dollars) when you board. A booking takes the whole departure: nobody else joins your trip.
