Operated by Strea Charters · Oranjestad, Aruba
You step onto a 45-foot catamaran as trade winds flatten the sea; the deck hums with soft music and the captain eases the boat past low limestone cliffs and wide beaches. The coastline of Aruba unfurls: pale sand, sharp coral outcrops, and the silhouette of the SS Antilla off Malmok Bay daring you to get closer. The water here is clear enough to read the reef’s contours before you slip in.
moderate.
4 hours.
Moderate fitness to climb aboard, swim short distances, and move on deck; basic swimming comfort required.
Most private catamaran tours include snorkel gear and life jackets; check the listing for included equipment and sizes.
You can snorkel in areas where turtles feed, but you must keep distance, avoid chasing, and never touch or feed them.
Departures are commonly from the marina behind Queen Beatrix International Airport near Oranjestad; taxis and local transfers are available.
Children can join if supervised and likely wearing life jackets; non-swimmers can stay on board or use a life jacket in shallow snorkel areas—consult the operator when booking.
The SS Antilla was scuttled in 1940 to avoid capture and has since become an artificial reef and popular photo landmark.
Operators encourage reef-safe sunscreen, no-touch rules, and limited anchoring on live coral to protect fragile reef systems.
Strea Charters operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
