Flagship Aruba's schooner anchored over crystal-clear turquoise water with snorkelers alongside

“Flagship Aruba delivers a memorable mix of adventure, snorkeling, and laid-back fun aboard charming pirate-style schooners. Guests consistently praise the friendly, witty crew, open bar, and great music, which contribute to a festive atmosphere especially during the rope-swing finale. The snorkeling spots, including the WWII shipwreck SS Antilla, Boca Catalina, and Malmok Reef, are beautiful and well-chosen.”

The rope swing finale at the SS Antilla was the highlight of our whole trip. Our crew kept the music going and the drinks coming the entire afternoon.

Snorkeled Boca Catalina and Malmok on the same morning cruise and both were stunning. The crew pointed out sea turtles we would have completely missed on our own.

Booked the sunset cruise for our anniversary and it was perfect. Small group, great local bites, and the crew made us feel like old friends by the end.

Genuinely a real wooden schooner, not another plastic catamaran. You can tell the crew rebuilt her themselves, they know every inch of that boat.

Brought the kids on the Morning Splash Adventure and the crew made them feel so comfortable in the water. Best snorkeling we've done in Aruba.

The open bar plus a genuinely fun crew made the Afternoon Pirate Party worth every dollar. We're already planning our next trip back to do it again.
