Aruba Afternoon Snorkel Sail: Antilla Wreck, Snuba & Happy Hour Catamaran

The catamaran slips away from De Palm Pier as late-day sun softens the Caribbean; the water turns a deeper turquoise and the wind begins to tell its own story. A 70-foot deck stretches underfoot, an easy place to lean against the rail with a cocktail from the open bar and watch the shoreline—hotels and palms—recede. The captain steers toward two known reef pockets, while the crew briefs the small fleet of guests on snorkeling technique and the option to upgrade to Snuba, a hybrid of snorkeling and shallow scuba that lets you hover longer above the reef.
