Don’t wait. Great time with great people. - Guys were great. Fun to talk with and took us out to snorkel as a guide. Casper was awesome and both he and the captain did a great job. Food was great and they fed 4 teen boys that can eat. They had plenty of food and drink and filled them up (a true miracle in itself)
Honestly an amazing time with some great people. Highly recommended.

Great way to spend some time in Aruba! - Casper and Jordan were phenomenal! It was my family's first time snorkeling and they couldn't have been more patient and accommodating. They let us practice and get comfortable on a lilypad behind the boat and eventually we all went snorkeling for 20-45 min depending on comfortability. The views, gear, and boat were all fantastic and we are already planning our next trip with them a year from now! Highly recommend this experience for anyone/all ages, you will not be disappointed.

Morning Snorkeling Charter - The snorkeling charter was incredible! The captain was a fantastic guide and made sure we stayed very safe in some rougher waters. We had a first timer in the group and the team made sure to explain the best technique perfectly. We saw the most beautiful fish and reefs and they made sure we were in the water as long as possible. We loved our experience and will definitely book with this team again. The guys were so nice and made sure we were comfortable during the whole trip. Thank you Strea Charters!!!

Fantastic, chilled boat trip - This was an absolute highlight of our trip to Aruba so far. Captain John and his skipper Edwin were friendly and fun and we had an absolute blast on our four hour boat ride with them. I particularly appreciated that John and Edwin made sure I felt comfortable for my first time snorkelling, and gave me great tips. I now feel like a pro 😆 Highly recommended - you’ll love it!

Lovely cruise for a beautiful sunset. - The captain was super nice. He did a great job telling us what to expect. Wanted us to know that if we needed anything to let them know. Very accommodating. The crew guy, Rens was a super sweet young man. He was very attentive to us and kept the drinks coming. The hors d'oeuvre we very tasty. I will definitely charter with him again.

Strea Charters trip is a must do! - This was our 2nd time on Strea Charters and it was even more amazing than the first trip. This time we took the afternoon trip. Captain John is super chill and gives a fantastic guided snorkling trip. We saw so much beauty and fish under water! The trip is smooth and he even stopped to let the KLM plane that was landing fly right over the boat, wow! Definitely recommend Strea Charters!
