Great experience!
Family had a great time snorkeling and lounging on the nets! Lunch was delicious and drinks were tasty esp the captains punch! Boat had plenty of space for the amount of ppl it can hold it never felt crowded. Staff was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely do this again!

I have done several snorkel trips like this one and this one by far was the best. The crew was helpful, super nice, the food was really good, we stopped in 4 places to snorkel. They were very concerned with our safety since the water was a bit rough. Their equipment was very clean and sanitized. I would do this same trip again with this crew.
Christine_S, Mar 2026
The captain and crew are amazing! Wonderful way to spend a day on the ocean and snorkeling. Delicious lunch and drinks included
Marilyn_T, Mar 2026
The crew on this excursion was phenomenal! Even though the boat was full each guest was greeted and taken given all the equipment and information needed. Food, drink and music were yummy and plentiful. Two snorkeling sites were great, one a bit choppy.
Although all Crew members were wonderful, Kevin was the shining star 🔆

Downside my trip was canceled but upside, the company was able to get me on a boat 2 days later. The boat was great, the snorkeling was great, the staff was exceptional!

Me and my husband were really looking forward to this tour! We came to Aruba on our honeymoon. However, on the morning of our excursion, it was raining with thunderstorms. We expressed discomfort with going on the boat with the weather conditions. We couldn’t rebook as we are due to leave the next day. I reached out for a refund since the conditions were unsafe to snorkel and be on a boat and be at risk of stronger currents. However, they refused to accommodate. I’m sure it was a great tour but they were more worried about their pockets then the safety of those on board.

The excursion was fun ! We saw sea turtles and a lot of colorful fish ! The coral and shipwreck was cool . The crew was great !

I like to write reviews as honestly as possible because I rely on them when I’m booking things, so here’s my honest review. This tour was everything and more! Most places that advertise “included drinks and food” usually mean watered-down drinks, a small selection, and food that’s just okay. But here, the drinks really were unlimited, the food was fresh and flavorful, and the overall vibe was amazing.
We made three stops: the first at a 60ft shipwreck, which was incredible to see, and two shallower spots around 10ft where you could get a close look at the marine life. The highlight for me was getting to swim near sea turtles, such a cool experience!
Cesar was also a huge part of what made the tour so fun. He kept the energy high, made sure everyone was comfortable, and created an environment where you could really enjoy yourself! The music was a great selection that caters to all people which we appreciated! If you’re debating whether or not to book, I can honestly say this is one experience worth it.

The boat is great with a bottom level for shade, the snorkel locations were great, and the lunch served was excellent!
Martha_M, Aug 2025
We had a great time on the DePalm Catamaran. The snorkeling was great. Three snorkeling stops. Clear water. The best one was the snorkeling with the sea turtles. So many sea turtles. The food and snacks were plentiful and delicious. The tour guides were attentive and extremely helpful to anyone who needed assistance with snorkeling. We had a great time. This was my 2nd tour with DePalm Catamaran.

This was a phenomenal trip. Completely worth the money. The crew was wonderful, the water was so comfortable, the lunch was delicious (especially the grouper and the pineapple cake), and the drinks at the open bar were not watered down. The tour had about 30 people on it which was a good size. We were not all running into each other. They planned out the locations well with the first stop being the shipwreck so there was not a lot of other boats there at the same time. This one was the deepest ((up to 50 ft deep) and also the current was the strongest of the 3 stops so if you are nervous about snorkeling this might be one to skip but seeing the ship wreck was extremely cool. The 2nd stop was only about 15 and the current was much less. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see any sea turtles at this stop but it was still a great time. The 3rd stop was less than 10 feet deep and the cure was the calmest. There were multiple schools of fish at this one. So if you are only going to pick one stop to do this is the one. Absolutely recommend this tour. Everything was so safe and enjoyable and the crew was top notch.

Loved this activity! The captain and other crew were very funny and helpful! The snorkeling sites were really good and it was cool to see the shipwreck although not a lot of fish at that site. I also liked the amount of guests on the trip because it wasn’t overcrowded. The lunch was great too. The grouper was top notch!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear you loved the activity and that the captain and crew made it fun and enjoyable. The snorkeling sites and shipwreck are definitely highlights, even if the fish weren’t as abundant at that spot. It’s great that the group felt comfortable and that you enjoyed the lunch! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again for another great adventure!

Had a great time! Went to three great snorkeling spots, got to hear some really cool history about Aruba, a true open bar, amazing crew who kept us laughing, and finished up relaxing on the nets to get some sun. It was a perfect trip!

Nancy_S, Jan 2025
I had to cancel the night before the excursion. I contacted the company to explain that I had an accident on the horse riding excursion. That I could not make it due to head injury. Found out a couple days later actually broke my vertebrae in 3 places. Asked for a refund did not even get a response from them. Quite disappointing I had no control over accident and was looking so forward to the sailing trip.
Ariana_R, Dec 2024
A great time! The sunken ship was super neat. Highly recommend the trip! the Food was great too. Cesar was a hoot!
Response from Host, Mar 2025

We loved every minute of this sail. The crew members were awesome, lunch was delicious, and the views of the island were breathtaking. Even if you don’t snorkel, I highly recommend booking this excursion. You won’t regret it!
Kimberly_H, Sep 2024
Snorkeling was amazing and the boat ride itself was the best
Food was also awesome.
Will be back again very soon
Amanda_L, Jul 2024
We absolutely loved this! The staff is excellent and the snorkeling was great. You had time at each stop to really enjoy and look around. Food was also really good. There were all ages on the boat and I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. My son loved jumping off the boat at stops. We will do this again for sure!!
Jeannie_W, Jun 2024
Caesar was a tremendous host and so much fun! My nieces and I had a wonderful day on this beautiful catamaran. We LOVED it and highly recommend Caesar and the entire crew. The snorkeling stops were beautiful, the food was great and the drinks were tasty and flowed freely.
Brittany_V, Jun 2024
We were able to snorkel with sea turtles, which we had tried to do earlier in our trip, but were unsuccessful. The crew made the experience super fun and kept the energy up the whole time. We are not huge on group activities, however, this experience allowed my husband and I to explore in a way that was still intimate while being on a boat with 81 other people. The drinks and food included were way better than we expected. This experience was definitely worth the cost.
