What you do on a private boat ride in Aruba

Because the boat is yours, the plan is too. For example, you can cruise the coastline and hotels for an hour, or book a longer trip and stop to snorkel. Snorkeling is included on bookings of two hours or more.

You can also add two underwater scooters for $100, with instruction included, so you glide along the reef without kicking. However, the scooters depend on the weather on the day.
