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.

Antilla Wreck! - It was our second year with Red Sail Aruba. We absolutely love it.
Little Rich, Francisco, Marco, and Dennis were wonderful hosts. They make things so fun. And they also make you feel safe.
The catamaran was not overly crowded either time.
It was my third time in a catamaran in Aruba and my first time seeing the wreck. The weather wasn’t cooperating the last two times.
My favorite tour.

Cherry on the top - Top notch equipment for the snorkeling, the sites are amazing, the bites to eat right on point, open bar was a plus. This was the last activity of our trip and was very fulfilling. Staff is super courteous and professional. Will come back to the same catamaran.

A Great Adventure for All! - Had a great few hours with Carlos, Simon, and Richard despite the high wind. Boca Catalina is our favourite snorkel spot, and today nature provided great sights. We followed 2 turtles, saw lots of fish. The shipwreck was very interesting. Obviously you can't get as close to it snorkeling as scuba. It is down 60-80 feet (my teen son still dove down to touch it!). But you can see it well enough to swim along it's length, even in the strong currents. Best for strong swimmers. I would suggest crew be available on the steps to assist if needed.

Great experience, especially for the price! - Had a fantastic time with my wife, and would have been great with my kids. They served 3 different snacks and open bar with some preselect items to choose from. Crew was really great and professional. The snorkeling was fantastic and the music was great they played at different points in the trip. Would definitely do it again!

Red Sail Sports is the Best - I scheduled this trip after the Lunch & Snorkel Sail was cut short due to an unprecedented invasion of jellyfish (the tour guide said that never in his 12 years of doing this had he seen such a phenomenon). (The Lunch & Snorkel guide said we could either get a refund or reschedule once we got back to the dock, and still gave us lunch!) The Antilles and Catalina sail was wonderful. The first snorkel stop didn't have much of interest, but the second one did. And the captain and crew are wonderful! I would HEARTILY recommend Red Sail Sports Aruba for any of their snorkeling trips.

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.

Bad - We were never picked up by your van at the cruise ship!! We had to get a cab to the excursion, we just made it!! A$25.00 cab ride, and then they would not let us on the boat until we paid the $10.00 for the van that never picked us up. Your company now owes me $35, and I had to get a cab back. Very poor organization. I need to be reimbursed immediately,
