Keep It Reel Private Charters 

An amazing 6 hour day with Alex and his wife Kelly. From the beginning Alex was incredibly responsive to our questions and helped us decide the best option for our family. Choosing the 6-hour snorkeling tour was absolutely the right decision. It allowed us to explore more of the island, including a less-traveled snorkeling spot on the southern side in addition to the popular northern locations. In addition to the extra stop, fantastic rum punch, snacks, water, soda, and snorkeling gear; the 6-hour selection added delicious chicken salad sandwiches and a graduation cake for our son (pic included)! Alex and Kelly were extremely friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable throughout the tour. There was never any rush to move on from each location, and they gave helpful tips and insights for each stop we made. After the charter we asked about purchasing some shirts with their logo. They didn’t have any available at that moment, but Alex offered to get a couple made and drop them off where we were staying the next day. They were ready as promised and when they dropped them off, we spent another enjoyable hour talking like old friends. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone traveling to Aruba, and we would 100% book with them again.

Best thing we did in Aruba, hands down. The captain was amazing, so friendly and clearly loves what he does, and his daughter was right there helping out and made the whole trip feel like we were hanging out with family instead of on a tour. The rum punch was flowing the entire time and it was dangerously good. The tour itself was beautiful. Crystal clear water, gorgeous views of the coastline the whole way, and great music on board. The snorkeling was the highlight. So many colorful fish everywhere you looked, and we even got to swim with a sea turtle, which was unreal. They gave us all the gear and helped anyone who was nervous in the water, so it was easy even for first timers. Great vibes, great crew, great value. If you are visiting Aruba, book this. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

We had a great day. Despite us messing up and going to the wrong location, causing a 30 minute delay, Alexandro took us for the full 4 hours. Not a word was mentioned. His wife and son were on the trip. Wonderful and friendly family. We snorkeled at the German Shipwreck the SS Antilla, saw lot’s of fish, went to another location to snorkel with the sea turtles- my daughter was even able to touch one. We finished the day fishing. Everyone caught several fish of multiple species from grouper to squirrel fish. Alexandro and his family were very accommodating. There was no agenda- he did only what we wanted. The boat is a very stable Boston Whaler, with a head if needed. There was 3 crew and 7 of us, and we had plenty of room. If I’m in town again, I’ll definitely look him up.

We booked Keep it Real based on the reviews for snorkeling. Needless to say they were right. Captain Alex and his wife Kelly were amazing. Super friendly, very accommodating. The one thing we liked the most was the communication from Capt Alex the days leading up to the trip. He truly cares about your experience. Most of all, Alex and Kelly are very family focused. For our small group of 4 it was perfect versus the big "booze cruise" snorkeling trip. Alex and Kelly tailored the trip to where we wanted to snorkel and made it very personal for our family. We will be back and we will definitely use them again. Thank you Alex and Kelly!!!

captain alexandro and his wife were beautiful human beings! it was myself and my family for a total of 8 and it was my mom’s 50th birthday and they got us a chocolate cake for her which was ao sweet of them to do. i cut my foot while swimming and they bandaged me up good as new. they have a big speaker for custom playlists and also provide drinks and snacks. we got to snorkel for the first time and they took us to the perfect spot to get some good views of the sea turtles. 10/10 experience, they dropped us off at west deck to make it easier on us and our driver. please book with them!!! we were safe and comfortable the entire time. l
