Next, swim to the famous Wreck of the Antilla Ship, a 122-meter (400-foot) long German freighter that rests 18 meters (60 feet) in the water. When the Germans invaded Holland during World War II, this German freighter was scuttled by its Captain in an effort to avoid its confiscation by the Dutch in Aruba. The wreck is now the new home for exotic fish and corals. Fish include: Parrotfish, Barracuda, Swordfish, Yellow Snapper, Grunts, Blue Tang, Butterflyfish, Green Moray, Pufferfish, Pintanos, Southern Rays, Flounder , Traffic Light Parrotfish and Trumpet Fish.
The catamaran has a top speed of 35 miles per hour in Aruba's famous winds, yet still delivers a very stable ride. It also has two bathrooms, plenty of seating, stereo music and a fully stocked bar. A special bathing ladder makes it easy for passengers to enter the water for diving. A friendly team is always on hand to make sailing a wonderful experience.
This 3-hour tour also includes an open bar, snorkel gear, and instruction.
