Aruba Catamaran Snorkel Open Bar: Antilla Shipwreck & Swing
Snorkel the Antilla shipwreck in 45 minutes, then swing off the rope.
You board a catamaran at Palm Beach, snorkel the Antilla shipwreck for forty-five minutes, then move to Boca Catalina reef for another forty minutes in shallow, fish-filled water. Between dives you use the rope swing and water slide, eat lunch, and drink from the open bar. The boat returns you to the same beach by early afternoon, and you've covered two major snorkel sites without renting a car or negotiating with individual operators.

The experience
"You'll see the Antilla sitting right there: almost touch the surface," Olga said when we checked in at the Delphi Watersports hut in front of the Hyatt. She wasn't overstating it. The catamaran leaves the beach and after about twenty minutes you're anchored over the second-largest shipwreck in the Caribbean, a German freighter from World War II that's been underwater long enough for the reef to claim it. Forty-five minutes down there with your snorkel, and the water is so clear you can see the structure without fighting for depth or visibility. The crew hands out disinfected equipment and shows you what to do if you've never done this before.
After the shipwreck, the boat moves to Boca Catalina, a shallow reef maybe ten minutes away where the fish are so thick and colorful they almost crowd each other. You get another forty minutes in the water here, and this is where people usually linger. The coral is intact, the current is gentle, and you're not fighting for space like you would at a crowded beach spot. When the crew calls everyone back on board, that's when the rope swing and water slide come out. The slide is the kind of thing that sounds silly until you're standing on the platform, and then it's just fun. The whole time, the open bar is running: tropical cocktails, juices, soft drinks, whatever you want. They hand out wraps (tuna or chicken) and tropical fruit while you're drying off.
The catamaran holds up to forty-two people, so it's not a private boat, but the crew keeps things moving and the groups stay manageable. You sail back along the Aruba coastline in the afternoon, and by the time you're back at the beach, you've had three hours on the water without arranging anything yourself: no transport logistics, no separate reef entry fees, no guessing which snorkel spot is worth your time. Check-in is straightforward: ask for Olga or John at the towel hut, bring your ID and a credit card, and you're done. Casual clothes are fine. The crew handles the rest.
Is this one for you?A good fit if you want two major snorkel sites in one morning without renting a car or booking separate reef tours: the fixed schedule and included transport from the beach mean you show up, snorkel, and return without logistics. The boat holds up to forty-two people, so expect a group setting rather than an intimate experience, and that's what keeps the price accessible.
