Arusun Catamaran Sail with Snorkeling in Aruba
Arusun is no ordinary tour boat. She is a 60-foot Formula II Ocean Racing Catamaran designed by Rod McAlpine-Downie and built in 1984–1985 for serious ocean sailing. 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, Arusun is proudly operated by Aruba Watersports Center, a family-owned and operated company where personal attention and Caribbean hospitality are at the heart of the experience. Choose a regular morning departure at 9:30 AM or an afternoon departure at 1:00 PM.

Your Arusun adventure starts with a warm Caribbean welcome from our friendly, experienced crew. After check-in, a small transfer boat takes you to the catamaran, where the music is playing, the open bar is ready and good times are waiting.
Stretch out on the spacious deck, sunbathe on the front trampolines, relax in the shade or grab a drink while we sail along Aruba’s beautiful coastline. Light snacks and fresh fruit are served onboard, and our crew keeps the atmosphere fun, relaxed and welcoming.
Conditions permitting, we stop at the Antilla Shipwreck and Boca Catalina for snorkeling among wreckage, reef life and colorful tropical fish, with a chance of spotting a sea turtle. Snorkeling equipment, life jackets and a safety briefing are included.
Ready to make a splash? Swing into the Caribbean from Arusun’s new rope swing! Prefer to stay dry? Snorkeling and the rope swing are completely optional. You are welcome to remain onboard, enjoy the music and open bar, and simply take in the views.
After approximately 2½ hours of sailing, snorkeling and Caribbean fun, our crew transfers you back to Aruba Watersports Center. Trips are subject to weather and sea conditions.
