Spend a day on the water with the Flagship Aruba Snorkel Tour!

Newly renovated from bow to stern, Flagship Aruba is back on the water and ready for the new season. You can join her on a morning or an afternoon sailing, so it’s easy to fit this snorkel cruise into your Aruba plans.

What can you expect?

Step aboard Flagship Aruba, a 110 ft schooner and the largest sailing ship in Aruba, and set sail from Palm Beach for a few hours on the Caribbean Sea. You cruise along the calm northwest coast with the open bar flowing and plenty of room to unwind, from the sunny lounge terrace on the bow to the shaded lounge deck at the stern. The crew gives a clear safety and snorkel briefing, hands out all the gear and joins you in the water, so first-time snorkelers feel right at home. Between the snorkel stops you can try the rope swing and drop straight into the turquoise water.

Where will this tour take you?

Every sailing visits some of the best snorkel spots in Aruba. At Boca Catalina you snorkel in a calm, shallow bay with crystal-clear water and schools of tropical fish, perfect for beginners and kids. Depending on the time you choose, you also explore the colorful coral of Malmok Reef, where you might spot a sea turtle, or the famous SS Antilla, one of the largest shipwrecks in the Caribbean.

Who is this tour for?

With calm water, great visibility and a friendly crew, this cruise suits couples, friends, families and groups alike. Pick the morning for a laid-back sail or the afternoon for a livelier vibe with music on deck. Want to upgrade your drinks? A premium bar with top-shelf spirits and specialty cocktails is available on board for an extra charge.

Book your spot online in a few clicks and get instant confirmation. Spots fill up fast in high season (December to April), so book a day or two ahead.
