Lee PFantastic experience for a family activity! We had an amazing time with Andre and Antonio! They were super friendly and completed all of the activities timely, professionally and even had a little water fun with us too!

Kristen CPrivate morning charter The booking experience was very easy, but I made a mistake in clicking the wrong date. They were so kind in working with me to reschedule our trip! The boat was beautiful, and Captain Arturo and Andre were wonderful hosts. Friendly, fun, and laid back to match our group. Our glasses were never empty and the sail was perfect!Posted on Tripadvisor

Sarah PBeautiful day aboard We had an amazing day with Arturo and Tamara. They are both engaging and friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. We did the 4 hour cruise and enjoyed everything from the service to the lounging to the views. We did some snorkeling and swimming and had a delicious lunch. The boat was well equipped and clean. We had a really enjoyable day. And shout out to our driver Andrew.Posted on Tripadvisor

It was such a beautiful and special experience, and everything felt so relaxed and personal. The staff were absolutely wonderful — super friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The snorkeling was so much fun, and seeing the beautiful underwater sights and swimming near turtles was definitely a highlight! The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the whole atmosphere was just perfect. The very best day and honestly didn’t want it to end. ☀️🌴 TYSM!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a group of 8 - a mix of kids and adults. We booked a 4 hr sunset sail and it was a phenomenal experience! Captain Andre and his steward Jay were so attentive, kind, and welcoming! The boat was very well maintained and clean. The kids had some dietary restrictions which Andre and Jay were more than happy to accommodate. The snorkeling was out of sight - we saw so much wildlife! The sunchill was the perfect size for our group who didn't want to hang out in the open water. We 100% will return to AWA for another private charter.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second time using this boat charter and the second time was just as impressive. From the welcome to the detail of us having an amazing time. The food was delicious and they even made something different for our allergy guest as well. We can’t wait to come back and experience it again. Thank you!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can't say enough great things about our day on the water. Arturo and Tamara were the most thoughtful and professional crew. So kind and attentive. We wished we would have booked the full day tour, didn't want the day to end. Lunch was delicious! If you are considering a private charter, this is the one. When we come back to Aruba, we will book again. Thank you for the best day ever!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing time we had on our private charter! Captain Arthur and Andre were incredible and made sure our group feel right at home. I would use Awa again on our next rip to Aruba without question. I highly recommend!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best experience. My family- including my teenager and toddler- had the best time. Top shelf liquor, great drinks and food. Amazing crew. Perfect water. Can’t wait to do it again.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A wonderful private charter. Capt. Arturo and first mate Jerrick were extremely friendly and kind. They took care of us the whole trip 1:00-7:30. Always refilling our drinks, keeping the boat clean, and playing fun music. The provided wonderful places to visit and eat in Aruba. Our 2 stops to snorkel were amazing with lots of fish, even turtles. They provide delicious snacks and food throughout the day. Fish tacos and skewers. A blow up inflatable to drift in the water and take in the sun. It was beautiful to watch the sunset. This was the best part to Aruba trip.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The AWA is a beautiful catamaran! Captain Arturo and Jen took excellent care of us as we celebrated John's 50th birthday. He knew where to take us for excellent snorkeling and the gear provided was top notch. The private chef provided an excellent menu and we were spoiled for the day by all. My dad said we are living right! Thank you for making it a memorable experience!Load more
