THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel
Three hours aboard a lively catamaran that sails from Palm Beach to the WWII wreck Antilla and the coral shallows of Boca Catalina — two snorkel stops, open bar, light lunch, rope swing and water slide. A mix of history, clear reefs and easy fun.
Three hours aboard a lively catamaran that sails from Palm Beach to the WWII wreck Antilla and the coral shallows of Boca Catalina — two snorkel stops, open bar, light lunch, rope swing and water slide. A mix of history, clear reefs and easy fun.
The catamaran slips away from the Palm Beach shoreline and the coastal hotels blur into a low, sun-bright horizon. Salt air fills the deck as the crew tunes the sails; within 20 minutes the boat is skimming toward the hulking silhouette of the WWII German freighter Antilla, its ribs and decks just below the waterline and already humming with reef fish.

The catamaran slips away from the Palm Beach shoreline and the coastal hotels blur into a low, sun-bright horizon. Salt air fills the deck as the crew tunes the sails; within 20 minutes the boat is skimming toward the hulking silhouette of the WWII German freighter Antilla, its ribs and decks just below the waterline and already humming with reef fish.
Antilla is one of the Caribbean’s better-known wrecks — a relic of wartime commerce turned underwater habitat — followed by the shallow, coral-draped fingers of Boca Catalina. The reef here forms on older limestone outcrops topped by branching and boulder corals; clear trade-wind seas make visibility routinely good, and the Azorean and Dutch cultural threads of Aruba show up in the friendly bilingual crew and the relaxed island rhythms.
Expect two snorkeling stops totaling about 80–90 minutes in-water, plus time on deck for a light wrap lunch, tropical cocktails from the open bar, and playful extras: a rope swing and a wet-slide that lower the voice of the ocean into laughter.
Practical edge: arrive with reef‑safe sunscreen, a towel and light cover-up, and a small waterproof pouch for your phone. If you’ve never snorkeled the crew will orient you and sanitize equipment between uses. Mornings are typically calmer and clearer; afternoons can be windier but warmer. The trip suits most fitness levels, but those prone to seasickness should plan accordingly. Bring a sense of curiosity — this is equal parts maritime history lesson and a lively Caribbean snorkel cruise.
Check in at Delphi Watersports in front of the Hyatt Regency towel hut on Palm Beach — ask for Olga or Jhon.
Yes — sanitized snorkel masks and fins are provided and the crew offers basic instruction if you’re new to snorkeling.
The Antilla rests shallow enough that parts nearly reach the surface; most snorkeling occurs in ankle‑to‑10‑meter depths around the wreck and adjacent reef.
Yes — an open bar, light lunch wraps and tropical fruit are included throughout the cruise.
