I did the half day morning snorkel trip with Red Sail, Aruba. They came and picked us up on time at the Marriott and took us down the beach to the catamaran for the snorkel trip. There was about 15 of us onboard plus 3 staff so there was plenty of room and not crowded. We were offered fresh fruit... More

They take you to two spots. The first one is just off a beach, not much of a reef but a decent number of fish. The second is off the wreck Antilla which is very interesting because you can see much of it from the surface. Not thrilled by the crew as they did not have someone in the water... More

Boarding was a little slow/chaotic, but once on the boat, it was a nice ride for the price. Snorkeling was just ok, I'd skip it and rent from your resort, and just go out for a sail. More

We chose to go on the Caribbean Sail with Red Sail Sports. We absolutely loved it--probably our favorite night on the island. The crew is very lively and fun. The Caribbean buffet was excellent and the open bar was easy to get a wide variety of drinks. We really enjoyed learning to meringue from their professional salsa dancers. The crew... More

Based on the 4 star reviews here I thought that booking my 5 dive package with red sail was sure to go well, but I was sadly wrong. Apathetic/ambivalent workers, poor customer service, and an jerky controlling dive master made for 2 star service. I tried a few times to book through my hotel - Marriott Ocean, but they were...

Called Red Sail Sports Aruba the day before our schedule catamaran tour and the service rep on Aruba said my reservation was voided. She asked if we would like to reschedule and we decided not to. On our return home, we called for a refund through American Airlines which we booked the reservation through as a package. The response from... More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the catamaran dinner cruise! From the moment you board until the end of the evening, the champagne (or whatever you preferred) was flowing! Abraham and the other crew provided very courteous and attentive service. The buffet dinner (prepared by chefs at the Hyatt) was plentiful and delicious and included chicken, fish and steak as...

Great sailing, view was amazing! Snorkeling was just okay, but the sea was a little rough so harder to snorkel. Had a great time! Well worth the money. But, do not think that you are going for the free drinks, there not that great. Free drinks doesn't always mean good drinks! More

Booked two dives with Red Sail during our week in Aruba. Our first was to the Antilla wreck with Ozzy as our guide. And our second was a night dive with Frtiz to Pedernalis. Fritz & Ozzy were very friendly and helpful as both me and my wife are inexperienced divers (just got my certification one month before). Would definately... More

Snorkeling spots had plenty of fish and coral!! Open bar was awesome-good bartender! Try the green iguana...eat lunch before going...snack was on the slim side-mozzarella stick. Sailing, snorkeling, view, and open bar definitely worth the price for the afternoon antialla sail More
