Snorkel sails, sunset cruises and private charters
A sailing trip is one of the most popular things to do in Aruba. Most boats depart from the piers on Palm Beach and sail along the west coast to snorkel spots such as the Antilla wreck, Boca Catalina and Arashi.
Choose a morning or afternoon snorkel sail, a relaxed sunset cruise, a dinner cruise or a private charter. Drinks and snorkel gear are usually included.
