About Octopus Aruba
Octopus Aruba is a boutique sailing operator specializing in private and semi-private catamaran charters along Aruba's west coast. Based at Palm Beach near the Pelican Pier, they cater to guests who want a more exclusive, customizable experience on the water rather than a packed group tour.
Their fleet runs snorkeling sails, sunset cruises, and full-day coastal adventures with flexible itineraries that can include stops at secluded beaches, reef snorkeling, paddleboarding, and open-bar service. Groups of up to 12 guests get the boat to themselves on private charters, while their scheduled sails keep numbers low enough that everyone gets deck space and personal attention from the crew.
Octopus stands out for the level of customization they offer — guests can adjust departure times, choose their snorkel spots, and request specific food and drink packages. Their crew is known for going above and beyond, whether that means anchoring at a quiet cove for extra swim time or timing the route to catch the best sunset angle. For couples, small families, or friend groups who want a premium sailing experience without the party-boat crowd, Octopus is the go-to choice.
