Boating in Aruba
Discover why Aruba is a favorite in the Caribbean for Aruba boating charters. With year-round sunshine, clear turquoise water, and miles of inviting coastline, the island is ideal for everything from relaxed day cruising to active water adventures. Expect smooth passages along protected shores, easy access to sandy bays, and superb visibility that makes time on the water as rewarding as time on the beach.
Charter a powerboat to hop between coves, or choose a sailing catamaran to savor steady breezes and wide, stable decks. Snorkelers and swimmers will find vibrant reef life just off the coast, while paddleboards and kayaks are perfect for exploring calm inlets at your own pace. Wildlife encounters—like spotting colorful reef fish and sea turtles—add a memorable highlight to any itinerary.
As daylight softens, sunset cruises showcase Aruba's big skies and glowing horizons, creating a stunning backdrop for photos and celebrations. Many charters can tailor routes for families, small groups, and special occasions, helping you combine sightseeing with swimming, snorkeling, and beach time without rushing.
Whether you're planning a half-day escape or a full-day exploration, Aruba boating charters offer a seamless way to experience the island from its best vantage point—the water. Step aboard and see Aruba's natural beauty, relaxed island vibe, and welcoming waters come together in one unforgettable journey.
What people said about boating in Aruba
- 5.0/5(6 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (AM))
Amazing 6-hour adventure
You can’t predict the wind and water conditions so it’s always possible to have some strong currents just as much as it’s possible to be calm
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Private Snorkeling Tour)
BestbTrip Ever!
The boat is perfect for families to enjoy and it was extremely well kept and very clean. Albert and Shon were very attentive to our requests and took time explaining interesting facts about the fish and Aruba.
- 5.0/5(Midnight Voyage)
Good Crew & Experience
It was a little choppy & Windy. overall we still had a great time at the places we stopped at.
- 5.0/5(4 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (PM))
Best choice on the site!
Communicate with your captain! Bring snacks and alcohol if you drink. Have a playlist ready and a phone charger! Also a towel and sun screen! Also a water pouch for your phone to take pictures under water!
- 5.0/5(3 Hour – Spot&Snorkel With Turtles)
Couldn’t have had a better experience than the one we had with Ocean Encounters!
Go small! The larger charters are full of people and the price isn’t that much cheaper per Person. Enjoy a real personal experience, stress free, and relaxing.
- 5.0/5(4 Hour Tour – Boat Cruise (AM))

It was very windy which worried us but the boat is large and the captain took good care of us. The wind did bot prevent a great time!!
- 5.0/5(4 Hrs – Boat Trip & Snorkeling (AM))

- 5.0/5(3 Hour – Spot&Snorkel With Turtles)
A Great Boat Trip
An enjoyable trip - just turn up with swim clothing and sun protection; everything else is taken care of.
- 5.0/5(6 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (PM))
Very Accommodating!
Ask questions in advance! We found Alex because we were looking for something that we couldn’t find in the templated experiences. Alex was open to working with us, to give us exactly what we were looking for, and when you have a large group, it’s way more cost effective to do it this way than to pay $120/person for a short experience shared with 12 strangers. - 5.0/5(4 Hour – Customized Trip)
10/10 experience !
Great weather! Rained a little bit but stopped as soon as we got on the boat to leave.
- 5.0/5(5-h The ultimate private boat tour)
Great day on the ocean
We thoroughly enjoyed our boating experience with Bibi and Carl. They are very welcoming. Made us feel like part of their family. We especially enjoyed the one of a kind mangrove snorkeling and swimming experience. We were also blessed to have an airplane pass directly over us as we traveled past the airport. Another one of a kind experience. I highly recommend spending the day with Bibi and Carl!
- 5.0/5(6 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (PM))
Amazing trip
It was windy so some parts of the water were choppy and we didn’t feel quite comfortable swimming. But the weather was gorgeous.
- 5.0/5(4 Hour Tour – Boat Cruise (AM))

How people rated boat trips in Aruba
5.0/5(4 Hour – Boating Adventure)Absolutely wonderful experience!
We charted this boat for my bachelorette trip in Aruba. We had 12 guests total. We had plenty of room and felt super relaxed, safe, and looked after. The lunch was delicious! We had a blast! This is the best charter I’ve been on, hands down!! I want to thank Captain Colin and his crew for making this such a great experience. The next time I’m in Aruba, I will 100% look to charter with this crew again!
4.3/5(6 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (PM))Awesome
Snorkeling with the Turtles. Just Amazing. Glass Island was very interesting.
5.0/5(6-Hour Explorer Deluxe)Family Fun!
We reserved the six-hour boating day, and it was truly fantastic and such a memorable experience for the kids! Our captains, Geo and Santino, were so much fun and incredibly attentive throughout the entire day. The boat had several fun floating options, and the water scooters were a HUGE hit with the kids! Everyone had an amazing time, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. I would highly recommend this experience—and especially Geo and Santino!
5.0/5(3 Hour – Spot&Snorkel With Turtles)Karl and Shine are the best!
Great trip, we saw lots of fish and turtles, and Karl and shine were great guides. 100% recommended.

Amazing private boat trip
Alex and his wife were the perfect team - friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure our family had an incredible day fishing and snorkling. We all caught fish, explored beautiful snorkling spots and created memories we will never forget. Highly recommend booking with Alex if you’re looking for an unforgettable experience! 
5.0/5(4 Hour Tour – Boat Cruise (AM))Incredible crew and wonderful boat!
First time in Aruba with my family and the crew of Sea Blue were amazing. 4 hour boat trip, snorkeled, fished, ate amazing ribs/chicken wings, coldest beers on the island and their famous rum punch was second to none. Thanks for the cool airplane fly over too! Captain Vic, First Mate Carlos and Second Mate Miguel - Thank you! See you boys next summer. -Marco
- 5.0/5(3 Hour – Spot&Snorkel With Turtles)
AMAZING
Captain Carl and Captain Bibi are the best!! This trip was absolutely amazing. We felt welcomed right from the booking process, and then felt like family as soon as we stepped on the boat. Snorkeling through the mangroves felt like our own private experience on the island. The hospitality shown during the lunch fare was superb. This tour will be a great memory for years to come thanks to Captain Carl and Captain Bibi! - 5.0/5(4 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (PM))
The highlight of our trip!
Alexandro and his daughter were amazing. I gave him a mission and he accomplished it with no problems! My little girl had the time of her life, swimming with turtles and snorkeling around a shipwreck. I cannot thank them enough. 10/10 recommend!
- 5.0/5(4 Hour Tour – Boat Cruise (AM))
Nifty 50 Party

5.0/5(Midnight Voyage)Good Crew & Experience
It isn't the newest boat but in good condition. Great for the price! We had a great time, great crew.- 5.0/5(3 hours afternoon trip)
My Family of 14 LOVED IT!
Colin and his team were thee best. They made my family feel very welcoming and communicated thoroughly throughout our boat ride. The ride included a charcuterie board (delish) with juice, soft drinks and water. Some jumped off and took a swim while others enjoyed the ocean waters and relaxation. A few got to drive the boat which was such an amazing experience. I would choose them 1000 times over. Book them! You will not be disappointed. :)
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Boating Adventure)
great boating experience!
crew was friendly and had great service, we went snorkling, stopped by the airport to watch planes come land, and stopped at a beach that had a large tv to watch the soccer game by boat.
- 5.0/5(4 Hrs – Boat Trip & Snorkeling (AM))
Great Trip
Alex and Kelly were awsome. Family of 6 with kids ranging from 6-15. We went snorkeling, swimming, floated on a sand bar and then a little fishing. They fileted our catch and gave us pointers on how to cook back at our rental. Would absolutely recommend to others!
- 5.0/5(4 Hour Tour – Boat Cruise (AM))

Captain Vic and Carlito were so amazing. They showed us so much of the island on our trip . The boat has so many spots to relax and they always made sure we were taken care of . They even had an adorable lama float for my 5 year old at one of the calmer beaches we visited. this is the only trip i have been on that stopped at so many beaches and sites thanks for an amazing time !!!

Best choice on the site!
Before meeting him he was very fast responding as well as very friendly with communication! Once we finally met we felt so comfortable and welcomed! It was like we’re knew them already! Drinks and food was provided to us also full control over the music. When we got to our destinations we were not rushed and they were enjoying the water with us! I would definitely used them again as well as recommend them! Great host and very professional! We had such a good time!
