Alcohol is not served, and you make your own way to the watersports centre. 4.84 from 2661 reviews at €56 per person. ## Overview Receive a warm Caribbean welcome aboard Arusun, where our friendly, experienced crew will help you settle in and get ready for 2½ hours of sailing, snorkeling and good times on Aruba’s turquoise water. Arusun is no ordinary catamaran. This 60-foot Formula II Ocean Racing Catamaran was built in 1984. In 1989, Dutch sailor Henk de Velde took her, then named Alisun J&B, on a solo around-the-world record attempt, completing the journey in 158 days. Today, her adventure continues in Aruba. Snorkel at the Antilla Shipwreck and Boca Catalina, swing into the Caribbean from our new rope swing, or relax with a drink on the spacious deck, front trampolines or shaded lounging area. Enjoy an unlimited open bar, light snacks, fresh fruit and great music while our crew takes care of the details. Sail aboard a true piece of ocean-racing history with Aruba Watersports Center, a family-operated company since 1987. ## Key facts - Price: from €56 per person - Duration: 2h 30m - Rating: 4.84/5 from 2661 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Aruba Watersports Center ## What's included - Spacious deck, front trampolines and shaded lounging areas - Music onboard - Non-alcoholic Beverages - Use of the rope swing - Use of Snorkelling equipment - Two snorkeling stops: Antilla Shipwreck and Boca Catalina. - Light snacks and fresh fruit - 2½-hour sailing and snorkeling trip aboard Arusun - Unlimited Open Bar includes: whisky, rum, vodka, juices, soda, and water ## Not included - Transportation to and from Aruba Watersports Center - Late-arrival shuttle – $10 if separate transportation is required to catch up with the group - Sunscreen - Towels - Gratuities ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 09:30, 13:00, 16:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-20 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Check-in 30 minutes before departure.
