“Super Relaxing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2011

This boat is a refreshing change of pace from the many other snorkel trips that seem centered on getting drunk first. This one focuses on simply enjoying the experience, the weather, the snorkeling, and the delicious drinks at the same time without the narrow single minded focus. The boat is gorgeous and the seats are ideal for everywhere on the boat, so no need to worry. My wife and I had a marvelous time and would definitely recommend to everyone down in Aruba.

“Excellent”

We went on this trip our 2nd day in Aruba and it was Wonderful! Albert and his crew were very friendly and knowledgable. It was a perfect day. It does get a little chilly on the way back,, but the snorkeling, the sandwiches and the company were well worth it. The small group and laid back cruise is relaxing and just what Aruba is all about!
Thank you for a wonderful experience that we will do again on our next trip!

“Highlight of our trip!”

We visit Aruba every year in January and we have never done a snorkeling trip. We decided to try the Black Pearl due to the great reviews. Well, they were absolutely spot on! The seats were very comfortable and relaxing, the drinks were great and refilled quickly (we both had the "house special"). Albert and his crew were so friendly and fun to chat with. They picked up starfish and sand dollars while we were out snorkeling. The sandwiches were also delicious as previously stated. Nothing like just sailing on the waters of Aruba! We had so much fun that we've decided this will be an annual booking for us. Thanks Albert for such a fun afternoon!

What a great experience this was--very personal and laid back. The snorkeling sites were fantastic, the drinks were excellent, the sandwiches very tasty and the sunset was a fine cap to the afternoon. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Albert and crew were the best.

“Beautiful end to our vacation”

person found this review helpful

Aruba is such a beautiful and relaxing place to vacation in, but the highlight of our 8 day stay was our sailing date on the Black Pearl. The crew could not have been more hospitable and the opportunity to enjoy some good snorkeling made the afternoon sail even more enjoyable. As we docked back on land the sun was just setting capping off our last full day with great memories in our trip to Aruba.
