Boating in Noord
Experience the Caribbean at its most vivid with Noord boating charters, your gateway to Aruba's sunlit north coast. This shoreline is celebrated for clear, aquamarine water, steady breezes, and wide horizons that invite every kind of day on the water—from relaxed coastal cruising to active snorkeling adventures.
Skippers and first-time visitors alike appreciate how quickly you can reach sheltered coves and reefy shallows filled with colorful fish. Gentle swells on the leeward side create ideal conditions for family-friendly swimming stops, while open stretches just offshore are perfect for sailing and sightseeing. With excellent visibility and warm temperatures year-round, Noord is a natural fit for snorkeling, swimming, and photo-worthy coastline tours.
Choose Noord boating charters to explore hidden beaches, glide past rugged rock formations, and anchor over sandy patches where sea turtles and tropical schools often pass by. Sunrise outings bring calm seas and soft light for scenic cruising, and late-afternoon departures set the stage for golden-hour views as the sky meets the Caribbean.
Whether you're planning a private charter, small-group excursion, or a casual half-day on the water, Noord boating charters offer an easy launch point, reliable conditions, and memorable marine scenery—delivering the classic Aruba boat day you came for.
What people said about boating in Noord
- 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 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 Hrs – Boat Trip & Snorkeling (AM))
absolutely perfect!
reef safe sunscreen is a must, aloe vera, and sunglasses/hat to protect yourself from the sun.
- 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(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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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! - 5.0/5(6 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (AM))

We swam with sea turtles and enjoyed delicious snacks thoughtfully prepared by Capt. Bibi. Carl and Bibi were a joy, and the boat was immaculate. - 5.0/5(4 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (PM))
Private Boat Tour - Just Book!
I booked a 4 hour private boat tour for my wife and I on our 10 year wedding anniversary. Alex (The captain) and his wife took us out on an unusually windy afternoon but navigated through it like a pro, making a smooth and great experience. We went snorkeling, fishing, swimming with a sea turtle and on top of it all they surprised us with a local homemade anniversary cake. It was great day, a memorable experience, and I strongly recommend booking with Alex.
- 5.0/5(Special 3 hour trip for Vishal Mehta)

Amazing Amazing Excursion and Crew
We had a party of 8 (4 kids, 4 adults). The captains were amazing and super social. Great hosts with cheeses, drinks, and fruit. We snorkeled with fishe. Swam with turtles. Experienced a shipwreck and hung out at a turquoise water sandbar where the kids got to swim and throw a football around. Such an amazing way to experience the waters of Aruba!!! I’d do it again in a second!!! 100% recommend!!!
