Amazing, a must do! Skip the pirate ship and go Red Sail!!! Great staff, awesome snorkel spots, the best lunch and drinks around! We also saw 3 different types of turtles and close to a million fish.

We truly appreciate you choosing to sail with us and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the water! ⛵️☀️
We had the BEST time on the Caribbean snorkeling catamaran! 🌴🌊🐠 From the snorkeling and beautiful views to the open bar and delicious lunch, the whole experience was absolutely amazing! Lizzie, Joshua, and Richard were incredible guides—so friendly, fun, and attentive. They made everyone feel comfortable and kept the vibe going the entire time! 🍹🎶 The atmosphere was so much fun, and it truly felt like we were hanging out with friends rather than just being on an excursion. If you’re visiting Aruba, DO THIS! We would absolutely do it again. One of the highlights of our trip! ❤️🇦🇼
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you had such a fantastic time with Lizzie, Joshua, and Richard. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon! Kind regards, Rozanne Thiel
The crew, including the captain, were very cheerful and accommodating. The safety of the participants was well looked after. However, I was amazed at how many inexperienced swimmers dared to snorkel in quite a strong current (Antilla wreck) - every participant must take responsibility for themselves there! The lunch was very, very delicious, but I would have liked more time here. Hardly had everyone served themselves when the buffet was already being packed away, and those who served themselves last could not get a 2nd. portion. The drinks were also very delicious (no margaritas and mojitos). Recommended for adults and teenagers with good swimming skills!

Such a great snorkel day! The guides were so much fun and knowledgeable about the island’s history. The snorkeling was really incredible. I didn’t think we’d actually see sea turtles and we saw a few. The ship wreck was so cool too. I didn’t have high expectations for lunch and it was surprisingly good. AND open bar the whole time. Bring cash to tip these guys what they deserve! Highly recommend Red Sail for any boating excursion. The catamaran was really impressive!
Dear guest, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such a great time and enjoyed the snorkeling, turtles, and our crew. We hope to see you back on board soon! Kind regards, Rozanne Thiel
We have been to Aruba on multiple occasions and for the most memorable experiences, you need to do a snorkel cruise and sunset sail with Red Sail, as they will never disappoint. Captain Dennis and the amazing crews of Junior, Joshua and Celine on the Snorkel sail, along with Captain Dennis. Frendy and DD on the Sunset sail were absolutely the BEST and extremely knowledgeable! Red Sail definitely knows how to make your Aruba experience on the water and in the water, something to remember!
Dear Guest, Thank you for your fantastic review and for sailing with us on both Tours! We're delighted the've become memorable parts of your visit to Aruba. We'll share your kind words to our crew. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again! Kind Regards, Rozanne Thiel
