Malmok Charters Aruba 2026: Private Snorkel Tours with Captain Chris

Malmok Charters is one of Aruba’s highest-rated private snorkel charters — a 33ft speedboat for up to 10 guests, captained by Chris (who also gets nearly every Google review’s headline). Three-hour private tours along Aruba’s west coast: snorkeling, shipwreck stops, and stretches of coastline where the bigger group boats can’t go.

The Malmok Charters boat and captain

Vessel: 33ft speedboat. Well-maintained, sound system, mask and snorkel gear provided.
Capacity: up to 10 guests, private charter only (no shared tours).
Captain: Captain Chris is the primary skipper. Marvin is the second captain. Both are repeatedly named in every 5-star review.
Departure: Malmok Beach, Aruba’s north-west coast.
What’s included: snorkel gear (mask, snorkel — bring your own fins if you want them), drinks (sodas, water), captain, fuel, all routing.

The two tours

Mi Mainta — Morning Tour (9am to 12pm)

Three hours private aboard the speedboat. Cruise the leeward coastline past the Palm Beach hotel strip, then anchor at multiple snorkeling stops — typically the SS Antilla shipwreck and reefs around Boca Catalina / Tres Trapi (where the green sea turtles hang out). Calm morning water means better snorkel visibility and softer light for photos.

Mi Merdia — Afternoon Tour (3pm to 6pm)

Three hours private, with the trip ending into golden hour. Same snorkeling spots as the morning but the light is softer for photos and you typically wrap with a sunset stretch back to the dock. Better choice if you want a “sunset on the water” finish to the day rather than an early start.

Malmok Charters Aruba private snorkel boat tour with up to 10 guests

Why book Malmok over the bigger catamaran tours

It’s actually private. Up to 10 guests on a 33ft speedboat means just your group. No 40-person catamaran where you’re sharing the snorkel ladder with strangers.
You go where the captain wants to go. Big-boat tours run a fixed route on a fixed schedule. Captain Chris adjusts to conditions and to what your group wants — multiple reviews mention being taken to specific snorkel spots based on what they asked for that day.
Better captain time. On a packed catamaran the crew is splitting attention across 40 people. On Malmok it’s 1-2 crew for your group only.
Speedboat reaches more spots. A 33ft speedboat moves faster than a catamaran — you can hit more snorkel locations in the same 3-hour window.

Who this private charter is best for

Families — multiple reviews mention parents with kids in their 20s, or families with younger kids. The private boat means you’re not coordinating with strangers.
Couples on anniversaries / honeymoons — afternoon tour with sunset wrap is a popular choice.
Bachelorette and bachelor groups — exclusive private boat with sound system. See our Aruba bachelorette planning guide.
Snorkel-first travelers who want to actually swim with turtles instead of waving from a crowded deck. See our Aruba turtle snorkeling guide.
People who hate cattle-call tours — if you’ve done a 40-person catamaran before and want the opposite of that, this is it.
