Chasing Shipwrecks and Coral Reefs: A Day Aboard Sunshine’s Tour

If you only have one day to see Aruba from the water, Sunshine’s Tour is built to pack in as much of the island’s best coastline as possible. This private luxury boat charter strings together three of Aruba’s most iconic snorkeling sites — Boca Catalina, the Antilla Shipwreck, and Tres Trapi — into a single, unhurried, up-to-6-hour journey aboard your own private boat.

Three Stops, One Unforgettable Route

The tour begins along Aruba’s stunning coastline before making its first stop at Boca Catalina, a sheltered bay known for calm, shallow water and abundant fish life — an easy, welcoming spot to ease into the day. From there, the boat heads to the Antilla Shipwreck, one of the largest and most famous shipwrecks in the Caribbean. Resting just below the surface, the wreck’s massive hull has become an artificial reef, drawing schools of tropical fish and offering snorkelers a genuinely dramatic underwater sight. The final stop, Tres Trapi, rounds out the day with more of Aruba’s clear water and coral, a favorite among locals for its laid-back, less-crowded feel.

A Private Charter, Not a Group Tour

Every detail of Sunshine’s Tour is designed around private, personalized service. With the entire boat chartered for your group — up to 14 guests — there’s no competing for space with strangers and no fixed script to follow. A dedicated captain handles the route and timing, while a full premium open bar keeps the day feeling more like a private celebration than a scheduled excursion.

Snorkelers of every level are covered with high-quality equipment provided on board, and for those who want to explore beyond arm’s reach, the tour also includes an underwater sea scooter experience — a fun, effortless way to cover more of the reef and the shipwreck without tiring yourself out mid-swim.

Flexible Timing, Full-Day Comfort

Sunshine’s Tour is available daily between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, giving groups flexibility to book a morning cruise or an afternoon charter depending on their schedule. At up to 6 hours long, there’s plenty of time to swim, snorkel, relax on deck between stops, and soak in the open bar and personalized service without feeling rushed from one site to the next.

The Details

Sunshine’s Tour is priced from $750 for the entire private boat, accommodating up to 14 guests, with a 20% deposit required to reserve your date. The charter includes a dedicated captain and personalized service, premium open bar selection, high-quality snorkeling equipment, and the underwater sea scooter experience — everything needed for a full day exploring Aruba’s best snorkeling spots in comfort.

For groups who want to see the island’s most famous wreck and its calmest coral bays in a single private outing, Sunshine’s Tour delivers the fullest day on the water Aruba has to offer.
