After reading the reviews, we decided to go with Octopus Aruba, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The service and the lounge seats were the deciding factors for us. Upon arrival at their beach hut for check-in, we were warmly welcomed by Joselito, who even entertained us with card tricks while we waited. We’ve done many other tours throughout the Caribbean, but what stood out with Octopus Aruba was how well-organized everything was, and everything ran perfectly on time. Once we boarded the catamaran, we were greeted with a welcome drink. They have fantastic lounge seats onboard, which made the experience so much more comfortable. The catamaran can accommodate up to 45 people, but they limit the number of guests to just 34, ensuring everyone has plenty of space. All the seats have an ocean view, so you're never stuck looking at other guests, unlike many other boats. Every 10 to 15 minutes, they came around with delicious snacks, and the drinks were served directly to you. The service was truly exceptional, and the crew shared a lot of interesting information about the island. We’ll definitely be back!

Great experience with Captain Lex and Jamil. It was my 60th birthday and we were there with my husband, son (25), daughter (27) and their significant others. Gorgeous day and had a blast and the crew was fabulous.

We had a wonderful day. The crew was incredibly attentive and the trip was very well paced. When the crew wasn’t busy sailing or helping us in or out of the water they were serving us drinks and snacks. They were all so kind, we would definitely book this trip again.

I had the best time with this company! The staff is very friendly and made sure we were safe. Great music and vibes. An amazing experience snorkeling and seeing all the fishes. Will definitely book again!

We enjoyed our family sunset sail with Roger and Shaka were fun, engaging and personable! Alex made DELICIOUS drinks! Great drinks, food and gorgeous views! 10/10 would recommend and will be returning!

We had so much fun on this sunset cocktail cruise! The captain and crew kept the cocktails flowing, the appetizers were great and the music was pumping, we had the most gorgeous sunset views and would absolutely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Aruba! We're on our honeymoon and it was a huge highlight for us!

We loved it! Definitely one of the best things we did in Aruba. People at The catamaran were very friendly, beautiful Beaches, food, drinks and music was great.

Fabulous sunset cruise. Nice staff. Light snacks. Good drinks. Sailed the whole time which was nice. Not overly crowded.

12 of us girls went and had an amazing experience!!!! Highly suggest!!!!! When we come back this will be one of our first stops!!

Our excursion with Octupus Aruba was awesome! Staff was friendly. Snorkeling was a blast. Open bar was great with a variety of drink options. Snacks were tasty and a nice variety. Overall a great time!

Absolutely beautiful views! As we were getting on the boat, the crew immediately was handing us a drink, and constantly were refilling as soon as we ran out. The appetizers were delicious as well! Everyone was able to have a place to sit down if you would like, but also you can stand if you wanted to. There was just the right amount of people on there to where it didn’t feel like we were packed on there like sardines; plenty of room to move around. The crew was great and will definitely be going again the next time we are in Aruba! Highly recommend booking!

Me and my boyfriend had an amazing time. Richard and Junior gave the most amazing service, were very knowledgeable, and helped us even when we didn’t know much about snorkeling. Thank you so much!

Captain Richard, Shaka, Meril, Alex were fantastic. Definitely worth doing. The cruise was wonderful and the sunset was beautiful.

The sunset cruise and savory bites was an excellent way to our trip with friends. Staff and captain were all very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend

Meeting and speaking with Jose was the best part of this excursion by far. Jose is friendly and talented. After getting off the catamaran, Jose engaged people and had a crowd of people around him while he was showing his card tricks. Jose was captivating and people were amazed. A bunch of people in my crowd spoke very highly of Jose and mentioned that they thoroughly enjoyed what he was doing. It was after we got off the boat and we could have easily vent on with our day and vacation. It was the best part of this excursion by far As for the actual sailing -- I have been on many catamarans and we specifically choose this company and sailing because it advertised comfort (i.e. limiting amount of passengers on board, etc.). I forget the number of passengers that were advertised (I think it was 35), but our sailing had many more people than what was advertised (I counted so it would be fact instead of perception). We specifically choose this company because we were interested in comfort and space and it was the opposite. Because they allowed more passengers on this ship it was largely uncomfortable and difficult to move around. That coupled with the fact that it was difficult to jump off the boat because the water wasn't calm. I am in relatively good shape (I go to the gym every day and do cardio and weight training) and it was difficult for me to swim in the water with the current of the water and also hard to pull myself back up on the boat on the ladder. I have been on many catamarans in the Caribbean and other than meeting Jose, this didn't measure up to any of them. If the company actually followed through on their advertisement then it might be a different story and different review, but they didn't. Next time I go to Aruba we will try a different company. I was going to approach the company after and give them direct feedback about this but spending time with Jose was a much better use of time on vacation then dealing with a company that doesn't falsely advertised and doesn't keep their word. If I spoke with them I still wouldn't get the time precious vacation time back anyway. I would spend money just to talk and watch Jose -- that was way more fun than the actual sailing. If you don't mind being packed into the small catamaran like a sardine (and this was the smallest catamaran I have been on by far too -- probably half the size of the others I have been on) then this might be for you. But the general consensus of my group (10 of us) that this didn't come close to the other catamarans we have done before
