Set Sail in Aruba: Jolly Pirate Cruise with Snorkel Adventur

Your cruise departs from MooMba Beach, where you’ll board the ‘pirate ship’ and set off from the coast of Aruba, making your way to three snorkeling locations.

The first stop is Malmok, a shallow area near the shoreline where you can swim with tropical sea life in turquoise waters. Then head to Boca Catalina, where a shallow, protected cove provides visibility and calm waters to snorkel with marine life such as yellow-striped grunts, angel fish, green parrot fish, grouper, elk coral, brain coral, and barrel sponges. Your third stop is the shipwreck of the SS Antilla, a German ship that was sunk by its captain and crew near the beginning of WWII. It sits on the ocean floor in 60 feet (18 meters) of water with its hull and masts sticking up out of the sea. During your snorkel here, look for species of marine life that have turned the ship into their home.

When you’re on board the boat, enjoy a barbecue lunch, open bar, and the rope swing. Lunch includes dishes such as ribs, chicken, Caribbean rice, potato salad, fruit, and bread. You can work on your tan in the sun or relax in the shaded portion.
