Hello,

We will be in Aruba in mid june and would like to go snorkeling as well as deep sea fishing. We will be staying at the Westin. Could someone give some good charters and snorkeling spots that are in the vicinity of our hotel?

Thanks!

Try cpt Mirto on the Lady Carolin. His boat is right at the main dock across from the Radison. From the states you can reach him at 011 297 565 6530 Tell him that Bart gave you the number. I've been with him many times and will be going again tomarrow, Wahoo are running!

Did you mean the Renaissance or Marriott?

The only "dock" near the Radisson is De Palm Pier and it is more of a pick up and drop off site. There are no boats permanently moored there.
