  • Sip drinks from the open bar 

  • Snorkel at three sites for a great overview of Aruba’s coral and wildlife

  • Chance to see a historic shipwreck in shallow water

Summary

Make your way to MooMba Beach, in Berea di Piscado, where you’ll meet the crew of a pirate schooner that’s fully equipped for adventure. Find a comfortable seat on the teak sun deck or in the shade, and kick off the sail with a drink from the open bar. You’ll stop at a series of three sites, with the option to swim and snorkel at each destination. The first snorkeling site is Malmok, where calm water and plentiful wildlife makes it a favorite for beginning snorkelers. Next, head to Boca Catalina, where elk coral, brain coral, and barrel sponges might hide angel fish and brilliant green parrot fish. The third snorkel site is the remarkable shipwreck SS Antilla, a WWII-era German cargo ship that protrudes from the clear, shallow water. This sailing trip can be as active or laid-back as you want, with the option to snorkel, swim, play, or relax at each site, and access to the open bar throughout. The excursion concludes at the original departure point.
