Recommendation on Day Sail

Hi,
I'm hoping you all can give me some good recommendations on a day sail. We have never done one before and would like some input. I would like it to include a nice lunch and maybe some snorkeling. I don't know if they include anything else. Also, any idea on cost would be helpful too.
Thanks so much.
Jaime

For serious boat snorkeling, Tranquilo http://www.tranquiloaruba.com/. It is a long day though with the sailing included. All in all a nice relaxing day. I wrote about our experiencehere and have photos here.

I do not know when you will be on the island, but Tranquilo will be off on vacation racing their sailboat Oct. 1 - 12.

For light hearted fun with some snorkeling, lunch and dancing, Jolly Pirates. Specificially their "Sail, Snorkel, Swim & Swing"

I wrote about our experience here and have photos here.

Thumbs up Morning Star Charters

We booked the Morning Star the reviews were excellent, and after speaking and emailing Katrina ( she is the head chef and hostess) we decided although very pricy we want something very special, they go to spanish lagoon too. We are going mid Oct/ will post after trip, but this is the high light of our trip.

Midushi sail/snorkel

I first was on the Midushi Sailboat in 1985 when I was in my teens. It was a blast! I did the afternoon lunch & snorkel 4 hour cruise. A few years ago I went on it again for the 3 hr. Sundown Snorkel Cruise. Last year I was in Aruba & my husband & I did not go on the Midushi at all & my sister (who owns a timeshare in Aruba) thought we were nuts. (It was my husband's first trip to Aruba & she considered it a "must"). We are going back in 2 weeks & I am booking the Midushi Sundown Snorkel Cruise ahead of time. (You should ck out the website for what days of the week they offer each cruise & you also get a discount by ordering ahead of time on the Internet). (We are not real experienced snorkelers - just enjoy getting in the ocean & looking around a bit & the crew on the Midushi is a ton of fun & always good for a lot of laughs & Happy Hour fun!). Enjoy! (I think we'll book for the Tuesday, Nov. 3 cruise. It's from 3:30-6:30 PM)

i just booked my son and his bride on the Tranquillo for the drift/snorkel/lunch sail for their delayed honeymoon vacation in aruba.

imo tranquillo is the best for low key and relaxing.
