Description

Arusun is no ordinary tour boat. She is a 60-foot Formula II Ocean Racing Catamaran designed by Rod McAlpine-Downie and built in 1984–1985 for serious ocean sailing. In 1989, Dutch sailor Henk de Velde took her—then named Alisun J&B—on a solo around-the-world record attempt, completing the journey in 158 days. Today, Arusun is proudly operated by Aruba Watersports Center, a family-owned and operated company where personal attention and Caribbean hospitality are at the heart of the experience. Choose a regular morning departure at 9:30 AM or an afternoon departure at 1:00 PM.

We were late to the meet up and they tindered us out to the snorkeling spot. The guys on board were very attentive and amazing. Will definitely do it again.

The crew will appreciate your kind words; they always do their best to make sure everyone feels taken care of. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the trip and would do it again.

So much fun. Great crew, great rum punch. Loved that the boat wasn't so packed-in that it was still enjoyable.

Overcrowded Excursion

The catamaran was smaller than expected and they allowed too many passengers on for it to be a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We didn’t get a chance to snorkel at the first spot because of the large group and the stop (only 20 mins) didn’t give enough time for everyone to get gear on. There were several unruly guests onboard which only added to the disappointment and discomfort we experienced.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience with us — we truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know how your trip went. We’re very sorry to hear that the excursion didn’t feel as comfortable or enjoyable as it should have. Your feedback about the catamaran feeling overcrowded and the limited time at the first snorkeling stop is important, and we understand how that affected your ability to get in the water. We’re also disappointed to hear that some unruly guests impacted the atmosphere onboard. While we can’t always control guest behavior, we absolutely can improve how our team manages situations like this, and your comments help us do better. Thank you again for your honesty. We never want anyone to leave feeling uncomfortable or disappointed, and we’ll be reviewing your feedback carefully with our team to make sure future experiences are smoother, more organized, and more enjoyable for everyone.

Worth every penny!!!

I highly recommend! If you’re looking for a day party that’s still kid friendly and some awesome snorkeling this is the trip for you! The staff is very informative and all good vibes. I saw a sting ray and multiple others saw a turtle i sadly didn’t see it but it didn’t deteriorate from my experience. The only problem I had was with parking I suggest showing up 20min early to find somewhere to park, you may have to do a little more walking unless your staying at the Hilton then they have their private parking (I walked from the senior frogs i think it’s what it’s called, parking lot

Operator response

Thank you so much for this wonderful recommendation. We’re really happy to hear you had such a great day out with us — from the kid‑friendly party vibe to the snorkeling and all the good energy from the crew. Seeing a sting ray is amazing, and even though you missed the turtle this time, we’re glad it didn’t take away from your experience. We truly appreciate you mentioning the parking situation as well. It’s helpful for future guests, and your tip about arriving 20 minutes early is spot‑on. Parking can get tricky depending on the day, especially if you’re not staying at the Hilton, so thank you for sharing your experience walking from the Señor Frogs lot. We’re grateful you chose to spend your day with us and even more grateful that you’d recommend us. Hope to welcome you back soon — maybe next time the turtle will swim right by you.
