First choice for catamaran trip! - We loved the experience! First off 5 stars to the crew for their excellent caring service with a smile. Safety was excellent, nice slide, stairs on the catamaran in the front and back. The lunch was a warm buffet with salads, rice, pasta, chicken and fish. We definitely enjoyed that! The drinks were great! Cocktails, softdrinks and juices. No beer and wine which was fine for us! We will absolutely choose Red Sail again on our next trip!

Red Sail Met My Family's High Expectations. - Enjoyed Snorkeling...very tasty lunch...topped off with a professional and fun team. The Shipwreck and "3-steps beach" stops were our favorite two of the three stops.

Great snorkeling adventure - We had a great day. The crew was very professional and helpful. The boat was fun but also a family friendly environment. We really enjoyed the snorkeling at all three stops. Our lunch was fresh and delicious.

Fun boat ride - Awesome crew, made the trip really fun and memorable. Even if you don’t want to snorkel, you can dive off the boat and go for a nice swim or just enjoy the ride. Would def recommend for half a day and once you get back you’ll have plenty of time to spend on the beach near the pier.

Our Best Experience in Aruba - We took the morning snorkel and all-inclusive lunch/drink cruise By far, this was the best activity we did while in Aruba! The boat staff was great and the snorkeling was a lot of fun! Snorkeling by the WW 2 Antilla wreck was the highlight! Highly recommend this tour...5 stars!

Great day on the water - JJ was the MC on the boat and put on a good show. The lunch was okay, not bad but not good. The first location (ship wreak) did not have very good visibility, the second was the best for fish spotting and the third was not great. Both location two and three you can just walk from the beach and no need for the boat tour. The open bar was very good and the staff was fantastic. It is a good boat experience for the money, but the snorkeling is mediocre.

The staff uses the boat to hit on girls - We booked this snorkeling trip through the Marriott. I would not use Red Sail Sports again. My 24 year old daughter was part of our group. The male responsible for the 'kitchen' duties (drinks/food) kept 'hitting' on our daughter. She was appalled. When we jumped in the water to snorkel he came in the water also, came up behind her and placed her hand on her butt. She turned to look and he smiled at and her and tried to make conversation. She ignored him and swam to me. Back on the boat, going through the food line he again tried to flirt with her and said 'hey, baby girl', winked at her and again tried to engage a conversation. She put her head down to avoid him. He ruined that trip for her as she was highly uncomfortable. The man later moved on to another lady and exchanged phone numbers. Not only that a drunken woman vomited on the boat and dumped her entire huge plate of food everywhere and made a big scene. Finally, for the sites itself, the first stop there was zero fish and nothing to see but minnows in the water (I think in reality it was just a holding spot for the shipwreck to open space for the boat). The second and third stops were better with the shipwreck and then a 'reef' with fish. But the drug out the lunch so long it took at least an hour. So while you pay for a 4 hour trip you got 30 minutes each at two snorkeling spots plus the time to get there. I would have rather have booked a 2 hour trip and just seen the two sites. To the Red Sail Captain, you did a great job, I don't think you were even aware of your kitchen help hitting on all the girls.
